Welcome, in front of me is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro and today I'll show you how to
0:09
go through the setup process of the device. So when you boot it up for the first time you'll be presented with the MIUI 11 screen
0:19
Life gets easier, so let's just tap on the arrow and from here choose your language
0:24
Now by default it opts into my language but we're gonna choose something more respectable
0:29
like English right here. And let's go to next, then choose your region, now this can stay as it is right now, hopefully
0:37
for you it's the same considering correct one, if not you can choose your language from
0:43
the list. We can also type here to search it which will probably make it easier and this will also
0:48
in turn set the correct time zone for the time. Then you have connect network where it simply allows you to connect to WiFi if you have
0:57
some in your area. Now if you don't you can just simply tap on skip and completely disregard this and proceed on
1:04
Then you have terms and conditions so you can read those if you are interested
1:09
User agreement right here, you have, ok there we go we just finished reading, now we can
1:14
go back. And yes I have read it and I am agreeing to it
1:20
Let's tap on next, then it's looking for a SIM card. Now this step completely doesn't really matter, I can insert the SIM card right now, later
1:28
and it will change literally nothing. Once you do the phone will work as though the SIM card was there all along, you won't
1:34
have to do anything and everything will be working just fine. So let's tap on arrow and disregard that
1:41
Then you have Google services so we have number one localization, so use location, allow apps
1:48
to services, basically it just uses your location for apps that require it, for instance like
1:54
Google Maps. And then allow scanning, allows Google to know where you are, almost the same thing
2:02
And also it will then ask you those inquiring questions, how did you like the restaurant
2:06
experience of for instance McDonalds. So yeah I'm just gonna disable that and that and completely not have it on
2:14
Now certain apps like Google Maps will require me to enable this and also some annoying apps
2:19
like some Huawei's and other apps for the smart homes or just accessories like smart
2:29
watches and stuff like that, for no apparent reason I want those and you have to enable
2:34
them if you plan to use their device. So that's just kind of crap and that we have to deal with
2:40
Then you have device maintenance, send user and diagnostic data, so basically send whatever
2:47
you're doing to Xiaomi, or well in this case to Google actually
2:53
So they can quotation mark improve the experience based on how you use your device
2:58
So you can also disable that if you don't want it and tap on more and then accept
3:04
And then we have set password, so we have two different ways of having a password
3:08
We can have either a pin, pattern or password, if we go with the pattern one, only screen
3:13
lock and then we can also add a fingerprint. Now fingerprint cannot be just a standalone, just a fingerprint, it needs to also use one
3:21
of the screen lock options, but then the other way around you can use screen lock and not
3:27
have fingerprint. So you can go with this and from here you have the choice to set either pin, pattern
3:32
or password. I'm going to go with the pattern. And then it gives me remember your password, like it's not obvious that everybody needs
3:40
to remember their password, after all it's not like it's a self explanatory term
3:44
So let's just tap we got it, then draw our pattern, then redraw that pattern and tap
3:53
on the arrow to confirm it. And there we go, now it's set
3:56
From here we have additional settings, again more localization, more user experiment programs
4:03
send diagnostic data automatically. Again it's basically all repeating, hopefully you won't read it so it gets checked on and
4:12
stays on. Automatic system updates, now this just means nothing from what I've seen, at least with
4:18
my device. If I check this off it basically tells me oh you have an update and then you say okay
4:25
cool disregard it. And it then just says nah, over the night it upgrades anyway, where I cannot interfere
4:33
with it because I'm too busy sleeping. And then we have personalized ads, which basically monitors what you're searching for on your
4:40
device and then tries to give you the accurate ads on what you're searching for
4:45
So yeah, no thanks. I agree, and then next. And choose a theme
4:51
Now in here you have only two different themes at the moment, so you have the classic and
4:55
the limitless. Choose whichever one you like more, the only difference is just the aesthetic of wallpaper
5:00
and the design of the icons. I'm gonna go with the limitless
5:06
Let's tap on the arrow right there and finish the setup. And we tap on the arrow right here
5:17
So we should be right about done with the setup once it's done loading apps, because
5:24
I didn't have time to do that before. And there we go
5:30
Yep, there we go. So now the device is fully set up and like I said before, if you choose to insert a SIM
5:39
card or connect to Wi-Fi, you can do that right now or at any moment in time and it
5:43
will not change anything. But this is how you go through the setup and if you found this very helpful, don't forget
