Android smartphones are blazing fast in these generation with processors, RAM and storage type working in conjunction to make everything snappy. But often with time, many of them slowdown as more ‘junk’ keeps getting stored in the form of cached data, unused files and folders. As a solution, most of us download an Android anti-virus app that does the job in a single tap. But what if we tell you that there are multiple ways how you can speed up your Android smartphone
1. Clean the home screen
Cleaning up the home screen will help bring down the stutters. Keeping a live wallpaper with widgets for weather, news and other such constantly updating apps, may result in lags often as all of them get refreshed as soon as you unlock your smartphone. Same is the case with keeping multiple windows on the home screen
2. Enable ‘Data Saver’ mode.
Enabling the ‘Data Saver’ option in the Chrome browser will also help you surf without waiting much as it compresses the page, using less data and loading pages faster. Here you could be sacrificing on the image and video quality a bit. Also, data speed matters here.
3. Switch off auto-sync
Most of the smartphones these days have this particular option in the Settings app. You can simply head there to take a look at what apps really need to be auto synced in the background. You can select the ones you think you don’t need auto syncing for and turn off the auto-sync option.
4. Clear the cached data
This is perhaps the most common method of clearing out junk files and making the smartphone quick in certain tasks. You get a lot of apps for this and some smartphones even have an inbuilt phone manager with this feature.
5. Keep the OS version up to date
If your smartphone is still in the official OS upgrade cycle, do install the latest version whenever the OEM rolls it out. This keeps the bugs from the previous version away and brings several fixes and optimizations to keep the device snappy and non-laggy.
