When you invest hundreds of dollars in a new smartphone, you expect it to last for a while.
Unfortunately, there are tons of tiny factors that could be slowing down your phone that you might not even be aware of.
If you're Android phone is feeling sluggish, try a few of these easy fixes.
First, restart your phone.
It's easy to forget that our phones need a good restart every once in a while, just like any other type of computer. Before you take any other measures, try shutting down or restarting your phone.
Make sure your system is up to date.
If your phone is running slow, it's possible that you may not have installed the latest Android software update. Head over to Settings >About device >Software update to see if there are any updates available.
Delete old photos, apps, and anything else you don't need anymore.
If your phone is still slow, try getting rid of files you don't need.

Apps could be using resources from your phone to perform processes in the background, which could be slowing down your phone. The less clutter, the better.
