And from me is a Samsung Galaxy tab S8, and today I'll show you how you can set up this tablet
0:17
So anyway, when you put it up for the first time, you will be presented with this screen that I can see right over here with the welcoming and different languages
0:23
And all you need to do is tap on this blue text, proceed to the next page, which allows you to choose your desired language
0:30
And now I'll mention one thing which you won't see right over here, which is when you're
0:38
doing this the first time around, I think it won't be visible but I guess we'll find out
0:42
When you're doing this the first time around, there's two things that will most certainly happen when the device is brand new straight out of the box unsealed, which is when you choose
0:50
your language and then your region, the device needs to reboot. Why? I have no freaking idea
0:56
It shouldn't need to do anything like that. No other device needs to do that
1:01
So this is just absolutely absurd. And the second part is you are forced to log into your Wi-Fi
1:10
Even if you don't want to, even though the device is brand new, you cannot skip it
1:14
Because FU, Samsung says. And you just have to. You don't have network near you
1:19
Maybe you just don't have it at all. I don't know. If you don't, you literally cannot use the device that you bought because you literally need to connect to Wi-Fi for no freaking reason to actually use this device
1:29
so yeah so that's another thing and the last thing is once you connect to that network
1:36
you better set aside like 10 minutes of your life because the actual setup
1:41
when it's getting your tablet ready is absolutely absurd it takes roughly 10 minutes
1:49
to get your device ready running the latest hardware excuse me what
1:55
so yeah hopefully you won't get to see this right here because I already did set up the device
2:01
so I can skip a couple things like Wi-Fi connection, which is the key part of the time wasting part here But like I mentioned if the device is completely brand new you cannot skip this so you literally forced into it So anyway let progress further Here we have your obviously user license agreement which no device can go about it without it
2:21
So yeah, let's just select the first one. Ignore the second one. Then we have permissions for Samsung apps and services, so we have a bunch of them, or a bunch of like three
2:33
so honestly I disable all of them Samsung has no business in any of those to be honest
2:38
if you're not going to be using any of the Samsung apps which I'm not so access for Samsung to
2:45
these services is absolutely useless it has no business in this from there we can go to the Wi-Fi connection page
2:52
now as you can see I can skip it but like I mentioned before
2:56
if this device for you is brand new straight out of the box
3:01
you are literally unable to skip this so you will need to connect to your Wi-Fi
3:06
and then waste your time fortunately I don't have to do that anymore
3:12
I only had to go to this once so next page we have copy apps and data
3:18
now for you obviously we'll have the page where it's getting your tablet ready
3:24
and then you'll see this page so from here we can either import data from an old device
3:31
to this one if you want to or sit it up as new by selecting don't copy which here you
3:36
have a little bit more time wasted but for me again because I have no network it goes really
3:41
quick now additionally obviously if you connect it to network you won't see this page
3:47
whoops this only appears if you are not connected to network if you are at the device sets
3:53
up the date and time automatically so this is kind of skipped by default and if you
3:59
choose to skip network it shows up And from here you should see this, Google Services
4:05
So we have a bunch of services right here, or a bunch, three exact
4:10
So we have location scanning and sending user and diagnostic data. And quickly going into all three of them locations just GPS tracking so apps like Google Maps can give you an accurate position on the map And additionally if you planning to use this as a GPS navigation obviously it will show you where you are at a given moment on the map and keep following you
4:27
Then allow scanning, allows the device to look for signals like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and so on
4:32
And then below that we have send user and diagnostic data. This is just a way for Google to spy on what you search for and your interest and stuff like that and then sends it to themselves
4:42
So thanks. The two other ones, obviously, if you don't want them, you can turn them off
4:47
When the app needs access to things like, for instance, location, it will ask you that you need to grant it
4:54
As an example, Google Maps will literally ask you that enhance location services and just tell you that you can allow or not
5:02
If you don't allow, obviously, you won't be able to use this as a GPS navigation
5:08
But you still can use maps. So yeah, the choice is yours
5:13
Let's go down and to the next page, which is protecting your tablet. So we have three different ways of doing
5:19
So now we have a couple more, to be honest, but, for instance, pin pattern, password
5:23
you can only choose one of those three. You cannot select two of them
5:27
So pin and password, you only can select pin pattern or password
5:33
And additionally, we have Facebook connection and fingerprint. These options will always require a physical way of unlocking
5:40
One of them or both. You can set up one or two of those at the same time, but any way you go about it, about it
5:47
you will always need to have a physical way of unlocking your device. And the reason for this is if as an example you add a fingerprint, you catch your finger like I did
5:54
You just kind of lose access to your device. So this will help you actually access it
6:01
And both of the cases follow the same logic, obviously, and they don't really encounter the fact that, you know
6:08
you might be, you might do something with your finger but not your face, but still if something happens to both, finger and face
6:14
you little lose access to your device so that you can use something like a pattern to unlock your device
6:21
Now for this, I'm only going to set up a pattern and if nothing else
6:25
so you just draw it tap on next confirm it and there we go
6:35
Now, right here we have a Samsung account, and this for some reason shows up no matter if you connect it to Wi-Fi or not
6:42
If you try to skip it, it also gives you this annoying pop-up right here. Skip out on all this, like it's some outstanding features right here
6:49
that weren't completely plagiarized from Google. and just so what I said has some actual meaning and not me completely ragging on it
6:59
I'm going to quickly go over all of these if you don't if you aren't really interested you can skip it
7:04
this is more of a rent I guess so now going quickly into all three of them I'll give you a
7:09
alternative that has been out longer and obviously probably done better than Samsung so
7:13
Samsung Cloud Google Cloud Bigsby hey Google find my mobile find my device
7:19
Samsung passwords, just the passwords from Google, Galaxy Store, again, Play Store, secure folder
7:26
I think this actually might be the only thing that might be unique
7:31
The only thing that apparently Samsung might have actually invented themselves or maybe not even invent
7:36
Certain phones do have secure folder where you just get to protect a folder with a password
7:44
That's about it. I don't know if Google has one by default. Never really looked into it
7:49
really seen or checked it so it could have a substitute that has been out from Google it
7:55
might not so this is just for a question but everything else that is right here has a
8:00
Google version of it that has been out for longer and probably improved way better than Samsung has so yeah skip this because it's completely useless garbage then we
8:10
basically have our device set up so let's select finish and get greeted with our
8:13
home screen and there we go So anyway, if you found this video helpful, informative anyway, don't forget to hit that like button and subscribe
