How to Set Up an Android Phone
Android is the most popular operating system for smartphones worldwide, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. Android is one of the most versatile and intuitive mobile OS options on the market. At the same time, Android’s open-ended nature means that setting up your phone isn’t always the foolproof affair it can be with the iPhone.
Bear in mind that every Android phone is slightly different from all the others, and manufacturers often add their own steps to the setup. The setup process on Android is pretty straightforward, but if you’re wondering how to narrow down the options at your disposal, follow our step-by-step guide. And remember: You can always reset and try again.
