Measures to take when buying a used phone? (lemmy.ml)

Hello, I bought my first used phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro) and was wondering what are the best practices taken before using it. I've read the reviews of the merchant selling the phone, looked into ratings and asked some questions about the condition of the phone, so I'm sure of my purchase on that end.

What about after receiving the phone? I know I would run a factory reset, aside from that, is there anything else to do?

I think I'll stick with vanilla for the first few months and then consider an AftermarketOS, I've used Huawei's EMUI before so I think I have a little bit of an idea what to expect with MIUI, even though they're not the same.
