And for no means a Xiaomi 11T and today I'll show you how to go to the setup process of this phone
0:13
So when you put it up for the first time you should be presented with this screen right over here
0:19
and all you need to do is stop on this arrow right over here and then find your desired language
0:25
Next page choose your region. And on the next page we have terms and conditions
0:33
Nothing greets us more warmly to our brand new device than agreeing to privacy policies and user agreements
0:41
Just what I wanted to see whenever I spend 500 bucks on my new phone
0:46
Then next page we have the SIM card insert page, so this is strictly for people that would want to, at this moment, connect to the Google account
0:56
So you can either insert a SIM card, or you can insert a SIM card, or you can
0:59
login to your Wi-Fi, assuming you have one that you can connect to. If you choose to skip both of them, like I will
1:07
then you won't have the Google account page, or login page visible throughout the setup
1:14
And additionally, date and time usually set incorrectly, so you will need to fix that up as well
1:19
Now, you can change both of those things later on after the setup is complete
1:23
by just simply connecting to your Wi-Fi or inserting a SIM card
1:27
And in terms of Google account, you can simply go to your settings accounts and add one and in terms of time or once you connect to any kind of network it will automatically set itself so I going to select skip right here and I also going to skip the Wi
1:42
page as well and this brings me to Google services so you have services like location scanning
1:50
and sending user diagnostic data now the very brief version of them is location is GPS tracking
1:56
scanning allows the device to look for signals like Wi-Fi Bluetooth and then send user and
2:01
diagnostic data spy on you what you do and then sends the info to themselves
2:05
So yeah no thanks because that's just creepy. And we can then go to the next page which is setting some kind of protection to our device
2:14
We have two different options of protecting our device. One would be through a screen lock and the other one would be through a fingerprint
2:22
Now if you choose to use a fingerprint you are also required to set a screen lock as well
2:28
That is so if something happens to your finger you still have some way of accessing your phone. But the other way around is not a requirement to have a
2:35
fingerprint if you have a screen lock. So I'm just going to set up a pattern here. Now
2:46
Xiaomi is one of those companies that considers their users to be an absolute donkeys and feels
2:52
the need to let you know that passwords need to be remembered if you already didn't know that. And from there
3:01
Just draw a pattern, repeat it once more to confirm it, and it's now set
3:08
And here we have some additional settings Now if you look it closely really looks similar to what we already seen from Google But this isn from Google This is now from Xiaomi So the location allows apps to access your location No thanks Send diagnostic
3:24
data automatically. To be fair it says automatically but then it implies that it can
3:32
also not be sent automatically which there isn't such an option so I don't even
3:36
disabling this creepy spying option gives any difference. Then we have automatic system update, self-explanatory if you want to do it
3:45
Then we have the worst offender of them all, personalized ads. This basically uses things like your search histories, your microphones
3:53
to basically determine what you're interested in, what you're searching for, and give you related ads to just that
3:59
The sheer idea of my phone literally listening to me, because that's kind of what it does
4:05
even though it's not disclosed anywhere if you ever tested it out
4:09
if you start talking about something most of the time you'll get ads related to that
4:15
so yeah no that that is just way beyond the boundaries here
4:21
and just pay attention that when you try to disable that one
4:25
it gives you this pop-up when personalized ad recommendations are off whatever
4:32
bullshit crap that we want to give you So yeah, basically we want you to keep it on because it gives us more data on you
4:40
But obviously it just absolutely creepy to have that on so I will choose to turn it off And just to put that further out there if I turn off anything else you can see there is no pop related to it Only this one gives you So anyway once we
4:58
have tackled a couple things off that should have no place of being enabled, we are moving to
5:03
the next page, which is the default launcher. Now this is just more of a home screen experience
5:10
what I would call. Basically, it determines how your apps are stored
5:15
on the home screen. So we have the classical, which I wouldn't really call this classic. It's classic for
5:19
iPhones, not Android's because all your apps are smack in the middle of your home screen
5:25
And then we have the classic Android version, which is the opt-dore. And that is what I prefer to have
5:31
an uptrow. So I'm going to select that and go to the next page and set up complete. So
5:36
stop on an arrow. And we should be in our home screen a second once the phone loads apps
5:43
because apparently didn't have enough time doing, I throughout the setup to do it
5:51
Ah, no, this is, this shouldn't pop up for you. This is just related to a factory reset that I have done
5:57
Connect to network to restore system items, whatever, not now. So yeah, there we go
6:03
Once I got rid of this, that's basically what you should be presented with
6:07
your home screen. So anyway, that is how you'd go through the setup of this phone
6:11
