because when gadgets are used for a very long time,the apps are slowed because the caches are slowing down.the junk files have taken a lot of memory because keeps a lot of little space and therefore the mobile phones get slower.

I think it's the new apps that's being developed that makes old phones to slow down. The apps are made for new phones with better specs than the older ones.

Hi Dudes...

What causes older Mobile Phones to Slow Down?
Is it because the memory Read/Writes are failing?

Also, why is it, when a mobile phone is left for 6 months in a drawer, the touch screen fails on cheaper phones?

This tends not to happen with Samsung and Apple Phones, but overall, the cheaper the phone, the quicker it degrades....

I wonder sometimes if the touchscreen corrodes or something...

Old mobile phones has low processing power to process the latest mobile applications that requires more processing power to work smoothly!

There are many factors why older smarthphone gets slower. The first reason is its cpu's capacity. The second reason is its software version. The third reason is its motherboard's capability tends to be slower as time goes by. And the last reason is that, many apps and systems are running and as you update your software versin, its not smooth since iits not suitable for that phone.

I think the operating systems and hardware on phones get obsolete, and need require a technical upgrade. When my Iphone slow down, is not responding properly, then iPhone Recovery Mode may solve problem. I put iphone in recovery mode, and reinstall iOS without erasing data. Sometimes it needs to be done.

Im still looking to know the answer to my question, I want to know if its the quality of the build or the read/write limit of the chips inside.
Prob combination of both.

My television doesnt slow down, the speedometer on the car doesnt slow down. My first Generation Xbox doesnt slow down. My PSP doesnt slow down. My Microwave oven, that works after nearly 20 years.

So why are Mobile phones and tablets the only devices to slow down. Im going with Read/Writes



Because all of those devices dont get updates nearly as often as your phone. Your phones os and apps update constantly and become bigger and more hungry as time goes on.

With something like android, it has to do with a mixture of OS updates and app updates. As more and more powerful phones come out, the OS gets heavier and the developers spend less time optimizing the apps, which makes it slower for older phones. Also less ram means less cache.

the softwares fill up free spaces with logs and unwanted junk.

if you want to enjoy your phone like new,
take backup
do a complete format.
do restore.

less free space is major issue for phone slowing down., and some major companies give 16 gb for internal storage .
and reboot your phone once in a two days. it keeps phone fast, at least in my case.
It can still be that RAM is full, it happens when you use the Internet. Except for all files in the phone there are additional, which the owner does not see, but they must also be deleted by the cleaner.

It has to do with the memory space of the phone. If installed apps clog up space, it definitely slows down the phone.
I have noticed this myself with my phone...when most of my phone storage is full, my phone slows down. Once I delete a bunch of music, pics etc...I do notice a spped boost in how my phone operates

Older mobile phones have older version of operating system. Applications are continuously being developed and compared to older applications the newest apps have higher system and hardware requirements. In this case, installing new apps in older mobile phones causes it to become slow.

Mainly they just get bloated with apps and processes.

It's gotta be the older people. Younger people get newer mobile phones, and keep on going fast.

I think the operating systems and hardware on older phones get obsolete with time and they are unable to keep up with the current operating bands of th network service providers hence they slow down and would ultimately require a technical upgrade to be able to catch up on the growing trend.

Everything can be too many applications and memory cards are used to cause the loss of functionality over time. In general, you need to back up and Hard Reset a phone every once in a while.
Sometimes the software update can slow down the phone rather than accelerate it. So always pay attention when updating.

Do not buy cheap mobile phones. Better you will use them for several years, but you will always be sure that the phone will not let you down. Better to spend $ 300-400 for 5 years, than every six months to buy new for $ 100.

Lack of memory, lack of ram, too many programs/apps

Things don't just slow down. If you have a phone that suddenly got slow, then the software is the problem. If you were to factory reset, it doesn't mean it's going to still be slow just because the phone is older. Phones don't age the way humans do.
