We are not all the same, nor are mobile phones. You probably have a mobile that at the beginning, when you bought it, its performance was good. But over time it has started to go slow, and considerably slow. There are different factors that make your mobile slow, but this is the real reason.
First of all, the customization layers are quite to blame, especially when it comes to Android devices. Manufacturers are betting on a different interface to Android Stock, which although it adds extra functions that can be good for the user, they make the terminal slow down. Why? Because there are many apps that are taking up memory space, perhaps the interface is full of animations or is slightly overloaded. That is, they limit performance. If you have a mobile with Pure Android, you may not have noticed a lack of performance, since in most cases it is Google who is in charge of supporting the software, adding updates and improvements so that performance is not impaired.
There is another thing that is also related to the layers of personalization, and it is the space that we have available on our phone. Especially in those mid-range or low-range mobiles, which have an eMMC memory. This type of memory manages its performance independently of that provided by the processor. Therefore, the less free space, the less read and write speed.This especially affects file management, when downloading an application or when performing any other action that requires information from the internal storage. Also, eMMC memory has a slower read speed than UFS. An example: an eMCC 5.1 memory (for example, that of the Huawei P30 Lite) has a speed of reading sequences of 282 MB / s, while a UFS 3.0 memory (that of the OnePlus 7 Pro) allows speeds of up to 2,100 MB / s.
Therefore, that your mobile is slow does not have to be because the RAM is less than that of the other model, or because the processor is mid-range and not high-end. In fact, there are terminals with a mid-range processor that are much more fluid than other models with a high-end chip. For example, the Pixel 3a.
How can I improve the performance of my mobile?
Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL, with a mid-range processor, but without a customization layer.
Mainly, eliminating those junk files that are not useful, since they are occupying memory in the device's storage. Also, remove all the applications that you do not use, as well as the 'performance managers' or 'antivirus', since they are taking up space and are not really necessary.
You can also resort to the odd trick to improve the performance of your mobile at specific moments. For example, by speeding up system animations from development settings. You just have to go to Settings> System information> build number. Then press several times until the developer box is activated.
Once activated, go back to 'Settings' and click on the option that says 'Developer options'. Look for the animation modes and lower the different transitions to 0.5x.
