If we take a look at the hardware specifications of current year are drastically updated. In both Android and ISO many features have been added. However, all these features are made for new hardware specs. So, if you have an outdated phone with newer versions of operating systems, then this might be a reason for the slowness of your phone.

However, its very hard to ignore these updates, but minor updates are okay, but if your phone come in Android KitKat and you are thinking to upgrade it to Android Nougat then be ready for difficulties.

App Updates

Everyone wants new apps and games in their Android and IOS devices. That so called light weight apps and games that you have installed can be transformed into heavy weight over time. The main reason behind these apps are “Updates”. Developers are constantly make changes in their apps, and every new updates bring some new features, which cause the slowness of your phones.

There are many system apps like phone, messaging, email services which are always active, because shutting these apps cause your phone some harms. but the problem is there are many other useless apps which always keep active without any reason, these types of apps use CPU and RAM of you phones and cause the slowness of you phone.

Memory Degradation

Smart phones run on the flash memory unit, NAND is the most common type of flash memory. NAND memory get slower when its full. In other words, NAND memory need some free space to run operations efficiently.

The best thing is always keep clearing your cache memory which help you in freeing down some of your storage, and always stick with 80% of your device’s total memory. For example, if you have 32 GB of internal storage, don’t cross 24 GB threshold.
