If this happens to be the first Android device you’ve ever bought, then you should introduce yourself to Android interface and its basic feature before looking into more features.Learn how to import your contacts and synchronize them, place a call, and take pictures.
Tackle your settings

Install widgets to your Home Screens
Widgets happen to have the biggest impact over the Home screen. Widgets come in handy in so many ways. You can use widgets to save time. You may want to view emails, notes, your calendar, and RSS feeds. Well, Widgets are the way to do it.
Download apps
You should update apps to always have the latest and greatest features. Such as Twitter, Google Wallet, Netflix, Facebook, Google Play Store and much more. Mobile apps can be so much fun.
Set up your space
Your new handset might be installing all your old apps, but it does not mean you have to keep doing things the same way.With the new handset, you now have great chance to wave good-bye to some bad habits and say hello to better life decisions, or maybe to better apps decisions. For instance if your devices was using the default browser, now you can get your hands on
Chrome. It is lightning fast. Or if you were using Nova launcher, which is way 2012, now you can use Google launcher, which happens to be quite hard to beat. You can also grab a custom Keyboard (Swipe or Swift key) to stay focus on your typing habits.
