I’ve tested countless smartphones, and the excitement of opening the box and taking the stickers off a new device never gets old. I love holding the phone for the first time to see how it fits in my hand, and can’t wait to get past the pesky initial setup to test its capabilities. It usually takes a few minutes, and then I’m ready to load my apps.
These days, I have certain go-to apps that I install first on any new Android phone I get. To me, they are the most useful and practical because I use them daily, and I eventually get around to installing the others later when I’m ready.
