What would you do when you buy a new phone. There are a lot of options that fit each person’ preferences. However, there’re 5 essential things you should do after buying a phone.

1+2. Back up and set security

The first thing you need to do when you buy a phone is back up. Just back up all the contacts, as well as messages, from your old device to the cloud storage. If you use Android smartphones, your files will be synced with Google account. If you’re an iOS user, the files will be synced with iTunes account. With the backup step, you don’t have to waste your time to add your all contacts to a new phone.

Smartphones nowadays are just like storages. You store many things on your phone like personal information, clips, pictures, and bank accounts. It’s really dangerous if the information leaked out. So, it is necessary to make your phone more secure. You can lock your phone with a password, a pattern, or fingerprint. Some phone brands also let you remotely track and locate your phone as long as it connects with Wifi or 2/3/4G.

3. Root

The third thing you should do after you buy a phone is root it. When a smartphone carrier sells you a phone, they do not give you all ability to access to features of the hardware. So, the best thing you can do is root/jailbreak your phone. After rooting, you will have more power to access and control your phone performance and display. Just go online, do some research about your smartphone and the way to root it. One thing you need to notice that phones rooted are easy to get viruses. However, you can get back by resetting factory it.

4. Delete the Bloatware

When you buy a phone, you will usually see 2 apps with the similar functions like mail or browser. One is from Android OS, the other is from the manufacturer. You can’t move these apps and those will slow down your system. However, with a root smartphone, everything will be easier than before. With Root Uninstaller (Android), you can remove these apps. Now, your handset will be clean and smooth.

5.  Fully charge the battery

The last thing you need to do when you buy a phone is fully charge it. Although the new technology battery is now lithium ion, you sill should charge you phone for the first time. The recommended charging time is bout 7 to 8 hours. Remember to charge your phone with an outlet, not a USB port. To last your battery span longer, you should not let your phone capacity down to the 0%. This will shorten the battery span. The appropriate percentage to charge your phone is about 30%.

If you are an iPhone fan, you will be glad to know that iPhone next year will come along with a wireless charger. According to some resource, the Foxconn company is working on a wireless charging module for iPhone 8.

iPhone 8 will have a wireless charger

Apple is one of the rare smartphone brands which do not equip their products with a wireless charger. Before iPhone 2016 was launched, everyone expected that iPhones this year would come with a wireless charger. However, they don’t. Now, things will be different with iPhone next year. According to some sources, iPhone 2017 will come with a wireless charger.

The Foxconn company will manufacture a wireless charger for iPhone next year. This is one of the special ways to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this US company. With this special occasion, Apple is said to skip the iPhone 7s lineup and move straight to iPhone 8. This new product will have a new look and new features. iPhone 8 is said to come with 3 screen versions: 4.7-inch, 5.0-inch, and 5.5-inch. They will be made of glass and metal.

With wireless charger, iPhone 2017 will satisfy all iPhone fans. Wireless charging modules are what they’ve been waiting for a long time. There’s a high possibility that this news is true. Foxconn is also working on the OLED display of  the 5.5-inch variant. Meanwhile, the other iPhone 8 versions will use LTPS screens.

Wireless charger: another Android borrowed feature?

iPhone is always one of the special products because of its unique features, from chipset to OS. However, iPhone this year doesn’t seem to keep its “identities” anymore. iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have many features borrowed from Android smartphones. Water-resistance, dual camera, and no head jack are some examples. Now, iPhone 8 will come with a wireless charging module. You can easily see that there are many Android handsets equipped with this charger. So, this time, Apple will borrow another Android feature to add to their new product. Maybe Apple will bring some new features to this charger. Let’s just wait and see!
