"As a person who covers consumer tech for a living, I get to use a few dozen smartphones every year. While I almost always advise on which is the new best smartphone, the majority of consumers don't upgrade every year. I have friends and family who tell me they don't want to upgrade and ask, 'How can I make my current phone faster?' I finally have an answer."
"Decluttering your Android phone can make it faster because it won't need to allocate resources to apps that are no longer in use. Uninstalling such APKs will lead to better resource management and thus, a faster phone. You can go to Settings > Storage > Apps to see the list of installed apps and uninstall the ones you don't need anymore."
Old Android phones slow primarily because of filled storage and background resource use. Uninstall unused apps and remove forgotten APKs to free space and reduce background processes. Clear cached data and delete or offload large files, photos, and videos to cloud storage or an SD card. Disable or restrict background activity for heavy apps and uninstall or disable bloatware. Keep the OS and apps updated, restart the device occasionally, reduce animations, and consider a factory reset as a last resort to restore responsiveness. These steps improve resource management and can noticeably speed up an older Android phone without rooting.
