Welcome, and follow me is a Samsung Galaxy A52
0:11
and today I'll show you how to go to the setup process of this phone
0:16
Now when you boot it up for the first time, you'll be presented with this welcoming screen in basically every language
0:23
really reminiscent of Apple setup screens, but anyway. So from here simply tap on the almost only button that you can to select your language
0:34
So I'm going to select English. From there, let's stop on next, and we have the option to connect to mobile network
0:41
Now, basically what it wants us to do is insert a SIM card, but we can just completely skip it and not insert it
0:49
A SIM card, it's kind of whatever. You can insert that SIM card at any moment, and you don't need to do any extra steps apart from inserting it in
0:57
So this page for the setup is kind of useless, I would say
1:03
But anyway, let's go to the next page. We will have some agreements that we need to check on
1:09
because nothing welcomes us better into a new device like end-use user license agreement for the device that you just bought
1:16
So let's select the first one. And if you actually are interested in what you're agreeing to
1:21
you can top on the details right here to, well, read the entire book
1:27
that they have about whatever you're agreeing to. And from there, make sure you check it on
1:33
The first one, the rest of them are optional. And then top on next
1:39
Then we have the option to connect to Wi-Fi. Now, this will be a little bit different for some people
1:47
I'm not exactly sure how this is justified, but as a completely brand-new device
1:55
meaning that we literally just like unsealed it from the stickers and stuff like that
2:01
connecting to Wi-Fi is not skippable for some reason now I'm not exactly sure this is
2:09
on this phone but Samsung is one of those companies that basically doesn allow you to skip Wi connection if the device is completely brand new for unknown reason So if that is the case for you then just simply connect to some kind of network if you have to
2:28
But for everybody else that doesn't need to, or it's a second-handed device, you should be able to skip it
2:34
So that is what I'm going to be doing here. Now, skipping it doesn't really do anything
2:39
The only thing that I'm going to be missing now is the ability to log in
2:43
into Google account throughout the setup process. And also date and time won't be set automatically
2:48
So this will show up throughout the setup process for me to actually choose that
2:52
date and time for myself or see if it's correct. So anyway, moving on, we have on the next page the copy apps and data
3:01
which allows us to basically get a different device and copy all the content from the
3:06
old device to this one if we wanted to. But I'm setting it up as new. So I'm going to go with don't copy option
3:13
and there is the date and time now it actually looks like it's correct almost by
3:20
off by like half an hour and a completely different month and day so January March
3:28
I think it's like the 29th there we go and it's 30 something whatever there we go
3:37
close enough so let's stop on next and from here we have Google Services
3:43
location, scanning, and send user and diagnostic data. So you can read exactly what it does, or at least whatever they tell you that it does
3:53
And if you don't like it, disable it. I'm personally not off and off any of those
3:57
So I'm just going to turn them off and then scroll down and tap on Accept. Then next page we have Protect Your Phone
4:04
So this is where you can set up fingerprint, face recognition, pin pattern, password
4:09
Now I'll mention that if you want to choose one of those two first ones, face recognition or fingerprint, you are still required to set up a different method of
4:18
unlocking a physical one and you have a choice between pen pattern or password so you
4:23
do have to choose one of those as well. Now the reason for this is because fingerprint and face recognition may not always work and that is as an example if something happens to you you might not be able to unlock it or if something happens to the phone So as an example if you drop your phone and the screen cracks
4:41
so assuming screen cracks in a really unlucky way that it just kind of goes over the camera and your fingerprint sensor
4:48
that might mess up the actual fingerprint and face recognition, making it not recognize your inputs and thus basically not allowing you to access your device anymore
5:01
So that's why there is also a way to unlock it physically with a pen pattern or password that has no ways of failing in a way
5:12
Now I'm going to skip this anyway, but you can set it up if you want to. So skip anyway
5:21
Give it a moment and this is probably the page where it tells us to log into a Samsung account
5:27
So I would call this complete bloodware, but I guess to each there are all
5:31
some people might find the use of it. I completely don't. I despise this
5:35
And I'll explain my reasoning for this in a second. So if I tap on Skip
5:40
it brings up this completely crappy list of things that you're missing out
5:45
So it looks like Samsung wants to add Galaxy or Samsung Words to everything that Google already offers
5:51
and has been offering almost since the release of Android operating system
5:56
Maybe that's a little bit stretching it. but yeah, Samsung just tries to, I don't know
6:02
get more people in their ecosystem, which we don't really care. Now, I might be alone here, but I'm going to justify this quickly
6:13
So each, almost every one of these options right here has the equivalent that comes baked into Android
6:20
and has been coming out for at least several different iterations of it
6:25
for like, I don't know, three at least. that's from where I started using Android
6:30
and I know that they were there since then so anyway let's start off
6:35
Samsung Cloud has alternative in Google called Drive or Google Drive then we have Bigsbee which
6:43
Google or Hey Google has been out for well it was the first one out
6:48
and this one from what I remember is kind of trash anyway then we have Galaxy themes Because you know Play Store doesn have any themes That kind of sarcasm
7:00
It does. Find my mobile. Find my device. Again, nothing really special here
7:08
Samsung Pass. Basically, Google already comes baked into it. If you log into the account
7:16
it asks you every time if you want to store your passwords and stuff like that. and I like it using a fingerprint, so useless
7:22
I don't have Galaxy Store, which is the poor man's Google Play Store
7:28
Again, it has a better alternative, making this completely redundant. And the only thing that I think might be actually worthwhile here for not everybody
7:40
just small majority of people, or small amount of people, is the secure folder
7:46
Now, לפson, I believe, or not something, but Google actually does come, I believe, with like, some kind of securing folder option working encrypted
7:56
But this one will be most likely way more secure and probably work better
8:01
But this is the only thing that I would say is a decent option here, primarily because of the NOx security
8:09
But if you don't have any use for this, you don't care about, I don't know, protecting your data really well
8:15
which is understandable because this will basically encrypt it and you will need to unlock every time you need to access something
8:22
then if you don't need this kind of encryption this kind of protection
8:27
then basically this entire page here is completely useless to you just as it is to me
8:32
and that's why I'm calling it a complete blowtware and waste of time here so once we skip this
8:37
we can now finish up the setup and have access to everything that Google actually provides
8:43
which is better at least objective by me. So yeah, there we go. Setup is now completely finished. So this is how you
8:52
could go through the setup of the device and if you found it very helpful, our
