GOT A NEW ANDROID PHONE THIS SUMMER? HERE ARE 6 TIPS TO LOOK AFTER IT!
Thinking about getting a new Android phone, or have you just bought one? Then you really should follow these 6 tips to take care of your new gadget! Tip no. 6 is actually the most important one.
Tip no. 1. First things first! Get a screen protector and a sturdy case.
Nothing is as disappointing as a nasty scratch right across the middle of your shiny new phone. When my new phone gets a little scratch!
Tip no. 2. Charge your phone the right way
We all know what happens when our phone runs out of battery. Most experts recommend keeping phones charged between 40% and 80%. When my phone is low on battery. Topping up regularly, instead of doing one big daily charge up to 100%, helps keep the battery healthy.
Tip no. 3. Update the device’s operating system
Update your Android operating system to the latest version as soon as it’s available. And yes! It’s time to give it a good kick… The latest versions come with bug fixes for better performance and improved security.
Tip no. 4. Don’t clog up your phone with unnecessary apps
If Google Play Store offers 100,000 free apps, that doesn’t mean you need to fill your phone with 100,000 free apps. Keeping apps you rarely or never use takes up your device’s memory which, in the end, can slow your phone down.
Tip no. 5. Keep it cool
A cool phone is a healthy phone. On a sunny day, don’t leave your phone in the car, and use it in the shade whenever possible. Using it in direct sunlight also requires maximum brightness, which again makes the phone heat up. For long voice calls, it’s better to use earphones. It’s also a good idea to keep your phone in open areas rather than confined spaces such as pockets, bags, etc.
Tip no. 6. Protect your Android from viruses and other online nasties.
Whether it’s corrupting data or stealing it, a virus can ruin everything that’s good about your phone. So, to avoid ending up in a situation where your phone is taken over by an infected or harmful app, get yourself reliable mobile security software.
