"Kerry Wan/ZDNET 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."
Many consumers keep Android phones for multiple years, which leads to accumulated apps, files and photos that slow performance. Removing unused apps frees storage and prevents the system from allocating resources to dormant APKs. Navigate to Settings > Storage > Apps to identify and uninstall unnecessary apps, or long-press an app and select App Info > Uninstall. Clearing cached data, deleting junk files and removing old photos and downloads further reclaims space. Prioritizing storage cleanup improves resource management, reduces background activity, and can noticeably speed up an older Android phone without rooting or advanced technical steps.
