In Phnom is a Samsung Galaxy X-Cover Pro, and today I will show you how to go through the setup process of the device
0:14
So to get started, let's notice the amazing battery percentage of 69, nice
0:22
And from there let's actually change the language to something a little bit more easy to understand
0:28
stand so I'm going to select English confirm it and then press start next page
0:34
connect to mobile network so in here you could normally insert a SIM card and
0:39
connect to mobile network but you can also skip it and completely disregard it and
0:43
insert a SIM card later on without any kind of problem or additional steps so
0:48
next page will have some legal items to review out that be end user license
0:55
agreement as a mandatory thing that you need to agree to and if you want to
0:59
get up on the details right here to read exactly what you're agreeing to now
1:03
it's probably not going to be the lightest read that you had and it's more
1:08
like a couple hours of trying to understand this and deciphering so I'm just
1:15
gonna agree to it and pretend I read it from there let's stop on next and here we
1:22
have the option to connect to Wi-Fi Now, this might be a little bit wonky because if this device is completely brand new
1:32
Samsung might not allow you to skip this for some odd reason, even though the skip button is there
1:37
it's going to tell you what you need to connect to Wi-Fi. So that's kind of stupid, but I guess there's no way around it
1:45
But if the device has already been reset it, so it's already after the actual first setup as a brand-new device
1:52
and it has been resetted and you're back in the setup. From here, you can actually skip it
1:57
Again I don get why it works like that but whatever Now you could also connect to Wi if you wanted to so you just choose your Wi and connect
2:07
and you would have the option to later on log into your Google account if you wanted to
2:11
and if you choose to skip it, you won't have that option, along with the fact that you will also have to set the date and time manually
2:19
Now, on the next page, here we have the option to copy apps and data from a different device
2:23
so you could basically restore it using Google account. Now if you press Next, it's going to allow you to do that
2:31
but you will first need to go back and connect to Wi-Fi first and then also log into Google
2:36
And overly, I'm setting it up as a new device, so I'm going to select Don't Copy. Next page, Google Services, so location, scanning
2:45
and sending user and diagnostic data. You can read exactly what you're agreeing to here
2:52
You can top on the arrow, it will expand, the explanation of what it is, what location is, or scanning, but the gist of it, location is a GPS tracking
3:03
used for applications like maps as an example, for the sole purpose to give you accurate routes
3:13
to your destination from where you are right now. But it's also being used by trash apps like
3:19
everything that has a smart in it. So smart home. smart thermometer, smart something
3:28
Yeah, most of those applications, for some ungodly reason, once your location, because they have as much business in your location
3:34
and where you live as your neighbor. So, yeah. Anyway, next thing we have is scanning
3:42
Now, this is a little bit more reasonable. So basically, scans for Wi-Fi networks nearby
3:46
and also Bluetooth devices, stuff like that. So, yeah. Now, below that, we have sent user and diagnostic data
3:53
Now it might seem harmless or stuff like that and for the most part it is But the meaning behind it is a little bit different So Google basically you allow Google to gather data on you So as they explain it they can improve the user experience of their devices
4:13
which what I would say otherwise it's so they can earn more money off of you
4:18
by selling your data because that's really what Android is all about
4:23
You get a cheap device because it's stealing your data. So from there, let's actually go back and disable all of this, if that even has any effect
4:34
And from there, let's go further. So here we have the option to protect our device, and that'd be to a face recognition, fingerprint, pin pattern, or password
4:42
And if you choose to set up a fingerprint or Facebook ignition, you are still forced to set up one of the actual physical ways of unlocking the device
4:52
That'd be pin, pattern, or password. one of those you will have to choose. That is because if something would happen to your face or fingerprint
5:00
you would basically lose access to your device. So you could catch your finger and fingerprint won't recognize it
5:07
Or you could get beat up and the phone won't recognize your face. Or as a more probable example, you drop your phone, screen cracks
5:16
goes over the camera and the fingerprint sensor, although the fingerprint sensor is on the back or on the side here
5:21
But let's just assume something happens to both of them. and you can't unlock your device using those methods
5:28
So that's why there's also a pattern, pin or password as a forced option on you
5:34
I'm going to go with a pattern anyway. So let's just draw the pattern, redraw it, confirm, and it's now completely set
5:42
Now here we have a Samsung account, absolute bloatware on this device
5:47
or basically any other Samsung device. And I might seem a little bit harsh about it, but let's be honest
5:53
everything that Samsung offers has a longer existing, probably better alternative from Google
6:01
After all it is Android So Google was first to basically everything that they offer here And when you try to skip it it basically gives you this but look at all the things that you missing
6:11
which you're not really missing anything, to be really honest. And just going quickly over this, we have Samsung Cloud, which Google Drive is a thing
6:23
Bigsby, Hey Google, which is significantly better, Galaxy theme, entire Play Store, which has themes
6:29
find my mobile, find my device, Samsung Pass, if you are logged into Google account on your phone
6:37
it will automatically ask you if you want to store your password, so I have this useless
6:42
Galaxy Store, the existence of the entire Play Store, makes this thing completely obsolete
6:47
and a secure folder, which actually that might be the only thing
6:51
that is usable here, because Samsung removes the actual Google files application
6:58
which therefore remove the password-protected option here. So this is the only thing that you have
7:05
and overly even if Google's version would be still here, Samsung one might have a little bit of advantage
7:11
because of the NACS security, so it will be a little bit more secure than the Google version of it
7:17
So this is the only thing. And if you don't need the last one here, the secure folder, you don't really see any way or any reason to encrypt your data
7:24
and basically make it harder to access, and you really have no reason to log into this
7:30
because everything else is provided by Google. So I'm going to skip it, as I always do
7:36
and basically finish up the setup. And there we go. So that is how you could go through the setup process
7:48
with minor differences and how you set it up. But if you found this very helpful
