Инструкция по эксплуатации смартфона для начинающих самсунг galaxy

Если он у вас уже есть — просто введите логин и пароль. Если еще нет — создайте, следуя инструкции на экране. На всё про всё понадобится пара минут.

Этот аккаунт — полезная вещь. С ним можно в свое удовольствие пользоваться всеми сервисами Samsung — причем не только на смартфоне, но и на
Smart TV. А еще через аккаунт легко переносить настройки и данные с одного устройства Samsung на другое. Например, когда вы снова решите сменить смартфон.

Тут тоже не обойтись без приложения Smart Switch. Данные можно забрать с iCloud – для этого в Smart Switch нужно выбрать способ передачи Wi-Fi и ввести логин-пароль от Apple ID.

А можно получить всё прямо со смартфона: тут понадобится кабель, который идет в комплекте с современными устройствами iOS. С его помощью соедините смартфоны, запустите на Samsung Galaxy приложение Smart Switch и выберите, какие данные хотите забрать со старого смартфона. Готово!

Если вы используете дополнительные карты памяти и новый смартфон их поддерживает, хорошо бы их защитить от посторонних глаз:

Настройки → Безопасность и конфиденциальность → Шифрование SD-карты.

Резервные копии данных смартфона можно хранить на компьютере, но есть минус: они занимают память. Способ проще и надежнее — синхронизировать устройство с облачным хранилищем Samsung Cloud, чтобы иметь доступ к данным всегда и везде, где есть интернет. Как это сделать:

Настройки → Учетная запись Samsung → Samsung Cloud → Выберите данные, которые хотите хранить в облаке.

Там же — еще два пункта меню:
— Архивировать данные. Это настройка резервной копии смартфона.
— Восстановить данные. Тут можно выбрать, какие данные хотите восстановить прямо сейчас.

Вы ведь часто используете наушники, правда? Вот. Значит, нужно подкрутить настройки так, чтобы любое аудио звучало максимально комфортно:

Настройки → Звуки и вибрация → Дополнительно → Качество звука и эффекты → Эквалайзер.

Если вы привыкли платить прикосновением смартфона к терминалу — продолжайте платить прикосновением смартфона к терминалу. Если ваш Galaxy предназначен для распространения на территории России и Беларуси — вы легко можете добавить карту «Мир» в сервис электронных платежей Samsung Pay.

Откройте приложение Samsung Pay. А затем:
