Help your phone to perform better and last longer with these tips.
1. Use a protective case
Choose a high-quality case to protect your phone from scratches and drops. A case can also add a layer of insulation against extreme temperatures.
2. Apply a screen protector
Keep the screen free from scratches with a special protective layer. Some screen protectors also offer additional features like anti-glare or privacy filters.
3. Keep your phone clean
Regularly clean your phone, including the screen and ports, to prevent dust, dirt and debris from building up.
4. Avoid extreme temperatures
Extreme temperatures can affect battery life and overall device performance, so avoid excessive heat or cold.
5. Keep your phone away from water
If your phone isn’t water resistant, it can be worth investing in a waterproof case. If it does get wet, turn it off immediately and let it dry before turning it back on.
6. Charge carefully
Make sure you use the manufacturer’s recommended charger and cable. Avoid using cheap or third-party chargers as they can damage your battery. It’s also recommended that keeping your phone’s battery between 20% and 80% is best for battery health.
7. Regularly update software
Keep your phone’s operating system and apps up to date. Software updates often include security patches and performance improvements.
8. Manage your storage
Remove files, apps and photos to free up storage. This can also help improve your phone’s performance.
9. Use a password or biometric lock
Secure your phone with a password, PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition to protect your personal information in case your phone is lost or stolen.
10. Install security software
Use security software to protect your phone from viruses. It’s also a good idea to regularly back up your data, either to the cloud or computer, in case your phone is ever compromised.
