"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."
"I don't get to use review devices for long, but I have picked up tips and tricks from years of experience that can help boost the speed of your old Android phone. Before you ask, it doesn't involve rooting your device. These tips are easy to implement for both tech-savvy consumers and the average Joe. If your Android phone has started feeling slow, you should primarily focus on clearing its storage."
"Over time, phones can collect a lot of unused apps and leave you with a cluttered space. You might have used a QR scanner app from a restaurant on your years-old trip or a photo editing app that is no longer in use. It is best to uninstall such apps to clear space on your Android phone. Decluttering your Android phone can make it faster because it won't need to allocate resources to apps that are no longer in use."
Experience with many devices yields practical tips to boost older Android phones’ speed without rooting. The primary focus is clearing storage to free system resources. Uninstall unused or forgotten apps to reduce background processes and reclaim space. Access installed apps via Settings > Storage > Apps or long-press an app and choose App Info > Uninstall. Decluttering removes APKs, cached data, and other junk that accumulates over time. Removing unnecessary files and apps improves resource management and responsiveness. These steps are simple to implement for both tech-savvy users and average consumers.
