So you really want a shiny new Android smartphone or tablet but can't afford one and your current device is getting slow and annoying. Well there are numerous things you can do to improve the situation. Here's how to speed up android phone.

How to speed up Android Phone: Delete unused apps
A common cause of a slow Android smartphone or tablet is that you've filled it up with app, many of which you probably downloaded on a whim and don't actually use. Like a PC, your Android device will slow down if it's become bloated with applications. Our advice to start with is to go through all your installed apps and pick out ones which you don't use to free up some space. Remember to uninstall them fully rather than just remove the icon from your home screen.

How to speed up Android Phone: Get rid of media
The next thing to cull on your Android smartphone or tablet is media. In the same way that apps can easily take up a lot of space, music, photos and videos do the same – even more so if you're shooting 4K video regularly or keeping your entire music library stored on your device.
To speed up your Android device, trawl through all the media you have and get rid of anything you can to create more space. Perhaps videos you've transferred to your PC or photos you've taken multiple times.

How to speed up Android Phone: Remove widgets
Widgets are a great feature of Android but they take more processing power to run compared to simply displaying an icon.If you're using a lot across multiple home screens, consider which ones you don't use much or could do without. Having fewer will lighten the load on your Android device and help speed it up.
