It has probably happened to each of us. You get a new phone, fire it up, do a few basic settings, sign in to your Google account, and install a few apps. Everything just works great and with your new "sweetheart" you feel like you're in a fairy tale. However, as time goes by and you actively use your phone, you install more and more apps on it, until you reach a state where the system is no longer Android not nearly as fluid as it once was.
Moreover, you will get to such a similar state gradually. You often don't even notice that your phone is slowing down. Until suddenly you run out of patience and tell yourself that something is probably wrong. This is the perfect time to give your system a good clean.
Why is Android phone so slow?
Slowing down the operating system Android it is usually caused by a large number of installed applications, some of which run in the background - mostly as a system service - and use valuable hardware resources - memory and processor. When you have too many applications running in the background, you can reach the limit where no more system resources are available. At this point, the phone starts to overheat and slow down significantly. As a user, you can tell by the fact that switching between running applications, transitions between desktops and scrolling through lists are not completely smooth. The movement occasionally stutters slightly - sometimes just for a millisecond, sometimes for a fraction of a second. In both cases, it is very annoying from the user's point of view, and even more so if similar jamming happens often.
Owners of mobile phones with a larger amount of operating memory, i.e. RAM, are somewhat at an advantage, as their devices can withstand much greater user demands. You have to install a large number of apps before stuttering even starts to occur. Even so, it is quite possible to easily jam a phone with an operating memory of 3 GB. It's not a disaster, but you can tell the difference between a new phone and one that's been used for almost half a year. If you have less RAM under 1 GB, you will get into a similar situation much faster. How to speed up your phone again? It is necessary to perform regular phone maintenance and delete unused applications.
