The performance of an Android phone often feels slower over time and the use of its users.
The declining performance of Android phones often triggers us to buy new, better devices. However, to get a device with qualified specifications, more funds are also needed.
For those of you who have an Android phone with performance starting to slow down, you can do the following 12 tips so that the performance of your smartphone can feel faster.
- Delete Unused Apps
Phone performance can be improved by deleting some applications that are rarely or never used. The reason is that the application also fulfills the storage and processing space (RAM) in the cellphone. That is, the application has a hand in burdening performance.

- Update OS Periodically
Make sure the Android phone you are using is updated to the latest version of the operating system (OS). Usually, the latest OS will also improve the performance of the phone. The steps for updating the OS vary depending on the phone maker. However, usually you can update the OS by going to the “Settings” > “About device” > and “Software update” menu. Then, click the “Check for updates” button.
When you find an update, immediately download and install it on your phone. Usually, apart from improving performance, these updates also contain various new features. The same applies to the applications installed on the phone. Try to always update it so that the performance of the application remains fast.
- Restart Phone Periodically
Turning off the phone and turning it back on (restart) is believed to improve phone performance. Because, when the phone is restarted, the system will delete some garbage in storage and RAM.
- Turning Off Animation
Turning off or speeding up animations can visually improve the performance of your Android phone.
The method may vary between mobile phone vendors. However, usually you can turn it off via the “Settings” > and “About phone” menu. Then, look for the “Device information” or “Systems” menu.
From the menu, look for the column that displays “Build number”. Touch the column 7 times to activate Developer mode. After that, in the “Settings” menu, a “Developer option” will appear. Go in there and find the “Window animation scale”, “Transition animation scale” and “Animation duration scale” fields. In order, change the numbers listed to “0.5x” or “Animation off”.
- Clear App Cache
Apps usually store cached data so they can be reopened quickly. As time goes by and the use of the phone, the cache data can accumulate bigger and take up a lot of memory and slow down the performance of the phone.
To avoid this, try to free up your phone’s memory by accessing the “Settings” > and “Apps” menus. Then, select an application that usually stores a lot of cache, such as Facebook and select the “Storage and cache” menu. Then, select the “Clear cache” button. You can also use third-party applications that can clear cache, such as CC Cleaner or Clean Master.
- Reset Phone
The easiest way to improve the performance of your Android phone is to do a Factory Reset. This will make the phone software back to the condition when you just bought it and clean up all the data on it.
Usually, a factory reset can be done by visiting the “System” menu > “Reset” > and “Erase all data”. Indeed this is not simple because it will delete all applications and data. You even have to re-download some applications that are really important, then re-copy the data. However, by doing a Factory Reset, the phone’s performance can return to normal
