Setting up your new phone for the first time

When you switch on your new phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up.

You can enable TalkBack to navigate by voice feedback before selecting the language. Press and hold two fingers on the screen until you hear a message saying that accessibility mode is enabled.

Walk through the on-device setup to choose your Internet connection, sign in to your accounts, and more.
