Is your smartphone not working like it used to or let’s say it has slowed down?

If yes then knowing the reasons that slow down a smartphone can help.

Most of the time these phones are quick due to any defect but not taking care of a few everyday things affects the speed of the smartphone.

The following are some common reasons affecting smartphone speed.

Lack of storage space

Downloading too many photos, videos, games, and other content quickly fills up the phone’s storage while putting pressure on its computer processing unit (CPU), slowing down the phone.

Poor Wi-Fi connection

If your phone has become slower than usual, it might be the result of the Wi-Fi connection.

Check the Wi-Fi network signal strength to determine this.

A bad Wi-Fi connection affects the phone’s speed as apps and web pages try to refresh frequently in the background.

The phone’s old operating system

This is a fairly common problem with Android phones as they require very little time to update the operating system.

This is the reason why Android phones slow down after a certain period because they are not upgraded.

Filling the phone cache or RAM

The more you use the device, the more data accumulates in the phone’s cache and RAM.

This data collected from apps and web browsing gradually starts forcing the processor to do more work, which in turn slows down the phone.

Too many apps

Most people install multiple apps that they don’t even use for a long time.

These apps occupy storage space and affect the phone’s speed.

Even if they are not deleted properly, some data from these apps remain on the device.

Old battery

In some smartphones, an old battery affects the speed of the device.

An old battery negatively affects the operating system, affecting the performance and processing speed of the device.

Following tips to improve battery life can help reduce this problem.
