Hi all. This article is about how a beginner can use a smartphone on Android and for those who have decided to change to a new device and want to treat it more carefully.

The first thing a buyer will encounter after purchasing an Android smartphone is its initial setup. This will include: language settings, region, changing the date and time, enabling/disabling location, ensuring security, and creating a Google account. This setup stage needs to be taken very seriously; more on that later.

How a beginner can use an Android smartphone

During the initial settings, you will be asked to set a password, pattern or PIN code to unlock the device. This is where you should think carefully, since this setting will not be easy to cancel in the future. As a toy, this function will quickly get boring and you will have to turn to specialists or try methods suggested on the network, many of which will lead to the smartphone not working.

This feature can be installed later. And it’s better to first find out how it is disabled in your version of Android.

Quite often, a Google account is registered after a long period of use, when the need arises to use Google services. Careless device users lose or forget their account login and password. Therefore, I advise you to write down your login and password not on a piece of paper, but in a regular work notebook and keep it in a safe and accessible place.

Android is tightly connected to all Google services and losing a password sometimes backfires. For example, you forgot your pattern key and cannot unlock your device, the first thing that can help is your Google password and login. In another situation, the service center is crying about the device, where you will have to pay specialists to unlock the smartphone.

The next stage of smartphone settings is transferring contacts from the old phone to the new one. The transfer can be accomplished in several ways. One of the methods is described in the article “”. The next method leads again to the Google service.

One of the functions of a Google account is to transfer to another device. For example, if you lose or acquire a new smartphone, you can use your account to transfer everything to a new device and even to other operating systems.

As you can see, Google is always nearby and this is only a small part of the opportunities that the service provides.

The main reason for frequent system crashes is low-quality software that the user installs from unverified sources. The Android mobile OS is open to users, so it allows them to install programs from unofficial stores, which leads to lethal consequences.

I recommend installing applications using only the official store - Google Play. At this stage, one of the functions will protect, which will prevent you from downloading a third-party application until it is disabled.

Any user needs programs for work or leisure, but it happens that in the official store they are paid and therefore many are looking for sites where everything is free. Be careful, it’s better to overpay for an application than to suffer from it later when it crashes your new device or gives away your data, which scammers will use to clean out your bank accounts.

This advice will help reduce the risk of getting malware on your phone, but it will not protect the user one hundred percent. Therefore, you should install good ones, for example, Dr.Web, Avast, Kaspersky. Antivirus must be installed based on the version of the operating system, as well as taste preferences. The Android operating system ranks first in terms of virus attacks and scammers often use this to defraud gullible users of money.

Using, for example, the Avast antivirus program, you can not only protect your smartphone from viruses, but also from loss or theft, and if it does fall into the wrong hands, you will not be able to use it.

Google is also able to determine the location of a lost device and give you the opportunity to block it.

The penultimate tip is aimed at optimizing your device. Android allows you to completely change all the design elements that the manufacturer has set. The main thing when installing various launchers is not to overdo it. After all, the more processes a smartphone performs, the more difficult it will be for it to process all the information. The user can choose the keyboard that suits him best. It has a wide range of themes to highlight your personality.

There are applications that will actually save battery power by not allowing background processes to eat it up. This information can be found in the article “”

And don’t forget to clean Android of excess garbage in terms of the system. Surfing the Internet, installing applications and other actions leave behind unnecessary files that gradually take up free memory space. Here we can recommend a cleaner - it is one of the best ones that will restore order on Android.

Smartphones running Google's operating system sometimes freeze. This happens rarely, but it does happen. Therefore, read the instructions on how to reboot the device using physical keys. This last tip will help you save a lot of time in finding a solution to the problem.

Let's summarize how to use a new smartphone on the Android operating system and still have fun.

The user needs to:

1. Pay careful attention to the initial settings.
2. Register a Google account and remember it well.
3. Use the official store to install applications.
4. Choose a convenient antivirus.
5. Highly optimize your smartphone to suit your needs.
6. Learn how to reboot your phone using physical keys.

If you follow these simple tips, a novice user will be able to use his Android smartphone one hundred percent without fear that something will happen to him.
