Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure your phone is ready for the Tet holiday:

Check battery capacity and prepare backup charger

Long trips often last all day, while smartphones are indispensable devices for taking photos, locating, or communicating. Therefore, make sure the battery is fully charged before going out. Don't forget to bring a spare charger to avoid interruptions when using, especially on long trips or to places without convenient power sources.

Update necessary applications

Before the holiday, you should check and update useful applications such as maps, e-wallets, bus, train or hotel booking applications. In addition, applications related to transportation or searching for places to eat are also essential for Tet trips.

Ensure adequate storage capacity

When going out for Tet, you will definitely want to save beautiful moments through photos and videos. Therefore, check and clean up the memory capacity on your smartphone, delete unnecessary files or transfer data to cloud storage services such as Google Drive or iCloud.

Enable device location and tracking

GPS positioning will help you navigate more easily when exploring new places. At the same time, enabling device tracking features such as "Find My iPhone" or "Find My Device" will also give you peace of mind in case your phone is lost.

Prepare a stable Internet connection

Check your 4G/5G plan to make sure you have enough data to last you through your vacation. If necessary, you can purchase additional data packages or a travel SIM card if you are traveling far away. Internet connectivity not only makes it easy to share beautiful images on social networks but also helps you look up information when needed.

Protect your phone from impact and weather

With outdoor activities, the risk of dropping or damaging your phone is quite high, so using a shockproof case or tempered glass is a must. Also, if you are going to areas with extreme weather, consider buying a waterproof bag to protect your device.

Set up important notifications

If you are waiting for information such as schedules, train tickets, or appointments, don't forget to turn on notifications from the relevant apps. This will help you not miss out on necessary information during your vacation.

A well-prepared smartphone will be a great assistant to help you enjoy the Tet holiday more fully. Therefore, do not ignore the above suggestions to always be proactive in every situation!
