Sometimes, all your smartphone needs is a simple restart. 

However, like a computer, restarting your smartphone can help reduce lag.

2. Update software

Every newer version of Android contains bug fixes and includes many performance improvements. 

So, it is very important to always update the device software so that it can work better. 

The method is also quite easy. 

Go to Settings>About Device>Software Update. 

Check if there is an update to update your device. 

The same thing needs to be done on the Playstore application and make sure all your applications are up to date.

Each application on the device uses a certain amount of memory. 

Because memory space is limited, it is recommended to only store apps you need. 

Now apps that you never use and are still on your device will consume memory and potentially eat up system resources.

Now to see a list of apps on your device, go to Settings > Apps and swipe to the All tab. 

Here, all applications will be listed. Find and identify the apps you don't need. 

Next, tap on the app and select Uninstall. 

If the uninstall option is not there, tap Disable.

4. Clean home screen

Putting a live wallpaper on your home screen along with a widget may look good, but it actually puts extra weight on your device and affects the performance of your device. 

It is better to replace the live wallpaper with a static image and remove all unused icons and widgets. 

The fewer apps you have on your home screen, the better your device's performance will be.

5. Clear cached app data

Cache data for apps helps load faster the apps you want to open. 

However, there are also some apps that you don't use regularly. 

Well, you should clear cache data for applications that are rarely used. 

You can free up a lot of space by deleting old data. 

Also, doing this improves device performance, and apps can save the latest version of old cached data.

Currently, you can store all your data in the cloud. 

In this way, you can access it through all the devices you use such as laptops or tablets. 

In addition, storing data in the cloud will help free up internal memory and can help improve the performance of your smartphone.

But it will be different if you use a smartphone like the Oppo A95 which has a RAM configuration of 8GB + 128GB ROM. 

Because this device is equipped with RAM Expansion technology. 

So you can convert ROM storage into virtual RAM. 

Through this technology, the Oppo A95 is able to provide the option of expanding 8GB of RAM to a total of 13GB, by converting some of the available ROM to virtual RAM so that the phone continues to operate rapidly.

In addition, this device also includes a System Booster to optimize the system so that the phone can run smoothly. 

Even with multiple applications running at the same time, the Oppo A95 is able to ensure seamless and consistent performance for longer than before. 

Guaranteed it won't lag.

7. Try using the lite version of the application
