all right y'all welcome back to Rome
reviews I'm Rome and this is xiaomi 15
Ultra and what we'll be doing today is
just going ahead and uh wiping it and
setting it up from nothing
so um this is going to be new to me so
I'm going to stumble a little bit but
we'll figure it out together and I'll
try to clean it up as much as I can and
edit so let's jump into it we're going
to go in oh and I just want to show you
that I have set the device up um I got
Google play store installed and all the
Google apps and everything so I am
actually undoing all of the work that
I've done so far but that's fine CU it
this will be a good learning experience
so let's get into it so I'm going to go
in and I'm going to hit factory reset
erase all data and I'm going to put my
pen in one
second all right I'm going to do factory
reset and I'm going to put my pen in
again all right reset will reset all the
data on your device including photos
songs notes blah blah blah blah blah and
it won't let me hit next until a few
seconds okay make sure our important
items are backed up okay and we're
wiping all right so the phone has been
wiped and we're back at the screen is
loading and we're going to go through
this initial setup so what I'm going to
do is uh since this is the Chinese
version of the shiai 15 Ultra and I have
the Chinese version of the Vivo X200 Pro
here I'm going to try to transfer my
files because when I was trying to
transfer things D during the actual
setup um I was having issues with the uh
Vivo X200 um Chinese
version and transferring files from the
X20 the Vivo x uh x43 Pro uh Global
version it just wouldn't work um I once
I got into the OS I could download a
file manager and transfer all the files
but anyway I just want to do like doing
an initial setup because the initial
setup pulls everything so we're going to
try that now so let's do English
immediately all right connect the
network I have a SIM card you know what
I'm going to do Wi-Fi because I'm going
to be transferring files so one moment
all right we got Wi-Fi
connected all right let's keep
going text size I'm I'm fine with the
smallest setting that's fine terms and
conditions probably should read that but
I'm not location emergency
location automatic system updates I
think I'm going to turn that off simply
because I know that um hyper OS the
changes vary so greatly and it impacts
the OS so heavily and sometimes I've
read a lot of stuff online about like
just people not really being happy with
the updates afterwards so so I would
like to verify that before I update so
let's okay let's keep going me browser I
don't care about the browser I don't use
I'm not going to use the native browser
on here I don't know what dooen
is content Center the app provis Ranger
information nah I'm okay me home welcome
to sh me home you can use this app to
add control I don't know me video search
super me
AI I don't think the AI is going to work
but I'll leave it on just for later
purposes use as a new device import from
old device so here's what I was talking
about so let's move the xiaomi box out
of the
way and I'm going to put the Vivo X200
next to
it all
right and we're going to import from old
device and let's see let's see how this
works so I'm not going to read any of
this
I'm going to do
Android allow me mover to access photos
yeah why not allow all the time okay I'm
going to scan that Q QR
code all right so it basically made me
install the Mi mover app on the uh Vivo
X200 we going to
agree this is going to be the old
device remove
restrictions fingerprint
uh I don't know why I would need
whatever whatever only this
time allow
allow
allow allow full access cuz it's going
to be moving everything over so
allow goodness these phones are really
strict on what they allow so you have to
go in and allow everything manually but
we're going to keep moving
all
right my great
data whatever
allow so we're going to do
next searching for new
device there we go xiaomi 15 Ultra
connect switching to highspeed transfer
Channel interesting
all right so we'll see how long this
takes I'm going to transfer everything
like
everything so we'll see how it works out
especially since Google services has not
been set up on this new uh phone yet so
it should be
interesting uh oh connection interrupted
I don't know why connect
again open migr data why this this
device is so much cooler than this one
like color-wise so much cool okay
anyway
connect hopefully this won't be a
problem but I just want you guys to see
this stuff live so let me move all this
out of the
way all right move this in Center
next important reading confirm do not
turn off Wi-Fi okay your device must
might get hot okay that's fine
all right so it's transferring so what
I'll do is I want to turn the brightness
up on
my uh
see it keeps losing connection for some
reason oh you know
what are they on the same Wi-Fi I'm
curious about that anyway it says 52
minutes so what we'll do is we'll be
right back once once we make a little
progress okay all right so I know that
initially said 50 minutes but it's
jumped up uh significantly in roughly
about five minutes or so so this is
going to be fairly quick so just wanted
to give you guys an update we're still
making progress uh everything is still
working it was disconnecting uh a couple
times because the phones are dis there
dis they are connecting directly to each
other so that's what's going on but it
seems to have stabilized and it's still
progressing I haven't seen that pop up
anymore so we'll be back in a minute all
right all right so I got a message on
the Vivo X200 that the file transfer had
completed but I still see it working on
the shiai 15 Ultra so uh I'm just going
to let it finish doing its thing and
then I think it's just because it's
downloading the actual apps uh that it
needs to apply that data that it moved
over to so yeah we're just going to let
it keep working and I'll be back in just
a bit all right so it looks like the
xiaomi just finished up so we're going
to keep moving all right let's see what
we got I'm going to move the X200 out of
the way oh did it got a little warm but
not bad at all let's see this one did
get a little warm as well quite a bit
okay not too bad so let's go ahead I'm
going to move it down Center that a
little bit Zoom you guys in some see if
we can focus that up make sure we're
nice and clear all right let's keep
moving sign in I think I'm going to skip
this I don't have a sh me account so I
skip that for
now I skipped the fingerprint lock and
all that for
now uh I'll continue record your
greeting H interesting I'mma skip it for
now mobile network operator I've read
and agreed which I
haven't learn navigation I'm going to do
full screen gestures from the very
beginning because I don't use the
buttons anymore um I said it in the
comments but I like as much screen real
estate as I possibly could have which is
what initially triggered me to go to
full screen gestures so that's where
we're going to keep
going setup is complete let's see what
we're working with so this is my first
time actually seeing uh how xiaomi looks
from the very beginning because I
ordered this phone from Geek wheels and
they went in and powered it on and set
up the Play Store and everything like
that so I didn't get to see all of the
bloatware that came that comes on the
device now what you will see is a lot of
these apps are actually my apps
so interesting so I got to go and clean
all of this up um I don't like all of my
apps being on my home screen because I
just like to organize it a certain way
but I do see some
uh some of that blo way in here so I see
that Chinese app right
there Chinese app right there okay so
what we're going to do is I'll clean all
this up later but what I want to do
right away is go ahead and jump into
settings
and we're going to figure out how to get
the Play Store set up so let's let's do
Google let's just search Google oh what
is it doing it wasn't typing in
there so here we are we got a hiccup
already so let's see what's going on so
let's come out let's go back
in yeah it's not typing anything in
there that's weird
oh it was typing but it just wasn't
populating weird Okay so basic Google
services additional settings accounts
and sync basic Google services it's
enabled
okay so let's do Play
Store and let's see cuz I'm just
stumbling through just trying to figure
this out with you
guys I think the phone is still doing
some work in the back ground which is
why it's acting kind of odd okay that's
fine so I'm going to go to hm let's
figure it out let's go to uh get
apps
Google let's see let's see what comes up
when you type in
Google Google Play Store right there all
right so this is pretty simple on this
phone actually you don't have to do uh
deal with micro G or anything like that
I think you have to deal with micro a
lot with the Huawei devices because
Huawei is banned in the US
but let's go ahead and it says update
not install which is
interesting okay let me figure this out
and we'll be right
back all right we're back so the app
right here Google Play Store open and
what I'm going to do is sign in and we
have lift off people so we're good to go
so what I'm going to do is I'm going to
go through set up my credential IAL
anything I feel like that stands out
that you may need to do afterwards we'll
I I'll start back up and we'll add that
in okay all right I'll be right back all
right so I was able to open the Google
Play Store and get logged in with my
credentials and everything
so what I want to test out is let's see
I'm just going to find like a Google app
let's see if it downloaded
messages that's my you know what hold on
let me take about this um yeah messages
is right there says my default
app yep there we go so it pulled all my
messages over which is great so let's
see what else we want to check out uh
how
about YouTube music that's another
Google app let's see if it logs it logs
Us in automatically so once you install
the Play Store and log in with your
credentials it'll automatically pull
that information over to the other apps
now I have seen cases not on this phone
but on other devices where it will
prompt you afterwards to verify yourself
on in certain apps so just be ready for
that but otherwise I think we are good
to go so what I'm going to do is go
through clean up all this bloat wear and
then we'll come back for either the
close to final result or the final
result we'll see how I feel is I'm
working through all right be back in a
moment oh you know what I wanted to
touch bases on uh as I was getting
started it made me remember that xiaomi
has a
very iPhone like approach to their
devices and their software so as you can
see all of my apps are on the home
screen so what we need to do is go in
and set up the app drawer so we can get
all this stuff off off of our home
screen so go to settings and you're
going to go to home
screen and I think yeah here we go so
home screen with app drawer that's what
you want to turn on and another thing
you want to turn on I'm not going to do
it right now I'm actually going to show
you because like I said very Apple like
approach so we going to leave the screen
up but we're just going to swipe up and
what you'll notice is okay let's just
get rid of the
calendar I'm going to get rid of it and
you'll see it shifts all the apps around
I do not like that at all I do not want
it shifting apps around uh because once
I organize my apps the way that I want
them I want them to stay put so what you
want to do is let's go back into that
and you see Place us see not Place new
apps on definitely want to turn that off
but uh let's
see I had to stumble around to find this
the first time so give me one
moment okay here we go so back on the
home
screen um so if we go
in and we go back to home
screen you'll see fi sales of UN
installed apps you want to turn that off
I mean if you don't want your apps
moving around you want to turn that off
okay so now when you delete an app let's
go ahead and remove Gallery CU I'm not
going to use the default gallery app you
see nothing
moved that that was very important to me
that saved that protected my sanity when
I found it that when I found it found
that so yeah um what was the other thing
I wanted to touch on oh home screen
search bar I'm not going to use the
default search bar on this phone so I
turned that off and it that gives you
back a little a little bit more uh
screen real estate so I turn it off
remove and you'll see it's gone and you
see your apps shifted down a little bit
okay so going back into settings let's
go to home
screen let's see app Vault I don't know
what that is I'll learn like I said I
will be learning this phone this my
first xiaomi device so let's
see home screen layout ah there we go
4x6 4x7 and 5 by9 now I uh there was a
suggestion in here where you have to get
rid of that home screen search bar in
order for these options to pop up I'm
going to go as many apps as I can on the
screen cuz I like a lot of you know a
lot a lot of room to work with so we're
going to do that and I think that's it
for
now um I'll be back after I finish
setting up the device and cleaning up
some things and we'll talk all right I
had to jump back in cuz xiaomi has this
very satisfying thing that it does so if
you pinch on the screen you can select
multiple apps at one time so let's
see and when you hit the the remove
button look I I know it's not that big
of a deal but I am easily play
so let's do it one more
time ah I don't know why I like that so
much but anyway just want to show you
guys that I'll be
back all right so on the xiaomi device
if you're not a fan of the default
keyboard that comes on here what you can
do is install gboard which I've already
done is pulled it all over from the
X200 go in here enable and you're going
to go to current
keyboard no no no manage keyboards yeah
and you have to turn gboard
on
yeah and then go to man Uh current
keyboard and switch you'll see they put
it real small down here other keyboards
you'll
CH maybe I tapped it okay gboard okay
and now that'll be your default keyboard
so let me show you g board down here now
we're in business all all right
so all right so I've made a bit of
progress on here
so I got all my apps pretty much set up
where I want to be I still got a few
more to do but I just wanted to touch
bases so got my always on display set up
let's go to the lock screen nice and
let's go into the
phone lovely all right so I haven't set
up my fingerprint and my face unlock yet
but you know this just regular stuff
that you do on the phone so uh if that's
something you want to see just let me
know in the comments below but um here
we are got my phone a little organized
now I haven't logged into all of my apps
yet but I do have a couple of widgets
set up um the only thing that I wish I
had done before I changed the phone to
the app drawer was completely uninstall
all of the bloatware because now I have
to go into the app drawer every single
time and I'll show you what I mean so
let's see that let's get rid of that
uninstall that
and I just have to stay here and do that
one by one where I feel like if it were
if it was actually like the Apple or the
iPhone uh the way I had it previously
you can go in and uninstall multiple
apps I believe um or I could just be
talking so I could be absolutely wrong
but this is not so bad but I really
would prefer to have done this before I
turned on my app drawer but at least it
doesn't kick you out of your app drawer
after each removal of of an app so not
too
bad but there's quite a lot of bloat
Weare on these phones on the Chinese
versions of these phones so just be
aware that you will have a little work
to do um after setting this device up so
I'll spend some time doing that
afterwards but as far as my home screen
goes it's pretty much set up I still
have a few more apps I need to put on my
home uh on my third
screen but otherwise it's all good um I
hope this helped you guys uh with
setting up your xiaomi phone if you
decide to order one um and I can't think
of anything else I really want to touch
bases on the only thing I find weird
about this phone well one of the things
I find weird about this phone
is it if you noticed at the beginning of
the video it had a settings icon on a
Settings app on the home
screen um and then um when I went in
here I had to actually uh add this
shortcut up here so I can quickly get to
set since I removed the app on my home
screen so that's another little weird
thing about this phone I can't find a
quick way and I know there's probably
like a button combination or shortcut or
that I double tap the power button if I
hold the power button what happens it
opens me uh AI okay uh let's press power
and volume up that's how to turn the
phone off okay and I'm sure that uh
Power and volume down is going to be
screenshot
all right
so I'm not entirely sure how to get to
settings on this phone um that just
brings you to your notifications and
status
bar so I'm not entirely sure uh if
anybody knows uh feel free to drop a
comment down below uh to help me out
like I said I'm very new to xiaomi so
I'm still learning but I did find a way
I found a workaround so it's not that
big of a deal but I just wish they had
it to where you could just drop it down
and on settings like up here somewhere
but not a deal breaker by any means but
anyway really appreciate you guys tuning
in for this video and how to set up the
xiaomi 15 Ultra feel free to like And
subscribe to and you know just to see
future content like this all right I
will catch you guys in another one later
