And from me is a Samsung Galaxy A-42, and today I'll show you how to go through the setup of this phone
0:15
And when you boot it up for the first time, you'll be presented with the welcoming screen that you can see right over here
0:21
And all you really need to do is press on the arrow, and from here select your language, which for me is going to be English
0:28
And then let's go to next. And we have Connect to Mobile Network
0:32
So from here we can turn it on and connect to Wi-Fi. Actually, it's not Wi-Fi
0:38
It's the 4G or 5-G in this case, but I don't even have the SIM card
0:45
So I can just kind of go to the next part here. And then on the next page, we do have some things we do need to agree
0:54
So as you can see, end user license agreements. So this one needs to be agreed to
0:59
And basically everything else is optional. So you have sending of diagnostic data, information linking, and some other stuff
1:07
So I'm going to keep it off. But if you were interested in it, you can check it on if you want to
1:12
And if you're also not sure what it does, you can top on the details, as you can see
1:17
And when you do, it will open it up and you can read it and exactly know what it does
1:23
From there, let's go to next. And from here, we can connect to Wi-Fi
1:27
And if you do have a Wi-Fi in yourio, you can connect to it
1:31
If you don't, you can simply skip it by tapping right here. And the only thing you will miss out is the ability to log into Google account throughout the setup and also restore the device from a backup on the cloud But other than that you can still do that later on in the settings so it not like you lose
1:51
anything permanently here. And then we have copy data or apps and data. So this will allow you to
1:58
do it, I believe, through an application. So if you want to copy your old phones data to this one
2:05
go right ahead. I'm going to set it up as new, so don't copy. Didn't have date and time. And it is incorrect for me. I believe this is because the
2:18
Wi-Fi is off. The time zone is okay. The date is not and the time is not. So if you want to
2:26
change it, you can either connect the Wi-Fi and it will set automatically or do it manually
2:31
like I am right now. So today is December what? December what exactly because I'm not exactly because I'm not
2:37
exactly sure. It's December 15th. Okay, there we go. Okay. And time is 1115
2:46
So let's go to 1115. There we go. And now it's set. So let's go to next. Google services
2:56
So you have couple services here, location, scanning, and send user in diagnostic data
3:02
And you can read again exactly what they do, but in short version of it
3:07
location uses your GPS tracker to to basically track. Now it's used by things like Google Maps
3:17
so it gives you an accurate route using your maps as a navigation for your car as an example then allows scanning allows the device to scan for things like Wi Bluetooth and stuff like that And then I would have sent you some diagnostic data
3:32
So there's basically data on how you use the device and sends it to Google. Now if you don't want any of those, you can disable them
3:40
But later on, if you want to change it, so if you want to use GPS navigation
3:44
you can simply pull down a notification panel and you'll have a toggle for it
3:48
or if you try to use it and some app requires it, it will just tell you that it needs access to it
3:53
and if you confirm it, it will turn it on automatically. So it's one of those settings they can later on change it anyway
3:59
So let's stop on accept, and then we have protect your phone. So we can set up a couple different ways of protecting it
4:05
So default ones that we can choose one out of them is the pin pattern or password
4:13
Those are the three that we have to choose one off. And then I also have a fingerprint and face recognition
4:20
And if you choose to go with fingerprint or face recognition, you will be required to choose one
4:23
of the three below ones, so pin pattern password. But if you want to only have a physical way, so one of these three, sorry for the shaky
4:35
cam, then you don't actually need to, then you don't need to set up a fingerprint or face recognition
4:43
only the two first ones do require an actual physical unlocking methods or if something
4:49
happens with key, for instance, if you go with face recognition, you drop your phone, lens
4:53
cracks, you're then unable to unlock the device. That's why you still have the, one of these options here
4:59
Same with fingerprint screen cracks it might not read your fingerprint correctly and without it you can get access to the phone So I going to skip it anyway Just kind of wanted to give you an overview of this So skip anyway
5:15
And then we'll have sign into your Samsung account. Again, this is completely optional
5:20
And also, if you try to skip it, it will give you a message what you're actually skipping on
5:25
If you choose not to sign into Google or into Samsung account and honesty
5:30
personally, I just prefer to sign into Google. and not bother with the Samsung
5:35
A lot of the things that you can get from Samsung are accessible through Google
5:39
So things like Samsung Cloud, Google Drive, Bigsby, hey Google, Galaxy Teams, Play Store, find my mobile
5:51
also find my device. Samsung Pass, I guess that doesn't have an alternative
5:56
Galaxy Store, again, Play Store, secure folder. Okay, this might not have an alternative because of it
6:03
it's just I believe part of this phone itself. So it might have like one or two things that are exclusive that you might use
6:13
But if, for instance, those two things for you are not important, then you probably like me and you won't bother with signing in
6:19
because Google has everything that you want anyway. And then we're all done, so let's finish it up
6:29
And there we go. We're now on a home screen. So, that is how you would set up your device
6:35
