How do I know when I have to change my phone? It is a question that surely more than one has arisen in some occasion. Luckily, the answer is usually on our own Android phone. Since with the passage of time, the phone is giving us some indications that are clear symptoms that the time has come to change the smartphone. And they are easier to identify than many people think.

Therefore, below I leave you with these signs that warn us that the time is coming to look for another Android phone. What it means to start consulting again what is in the market or the aspects to be taken into account.

Lack of space

One of the most frequent problems that we face when our Android smartphone has already a time. You will notice that whatever you do, you always end up running out of space on the phone. Even if you resort to different methods to free up space, the phone will be left without it after a short time.

This is something that can happen for many reasons. The applications can be very heavy, especially after updates. We must also bear in mind that there are users who have devices with a reduced storage space, of about 8 or 16 GB in some cases. This greatly limits the possibilities of memory.

It works slow

Even though we follow tips with which to help our Android phone to stay stable at all times, there comes a time when it works slowly. This is something that surely happened to you on occasion. There is a clear slowdown in the operation of the device. He keeps thinking when carrying out various processes, and on more than one occasion it is possible that he gets caught completely.

This is evident if even when we carry out daily tasks out we noticed that the phone works slow. If to open an app that we use frequently, or simply in the browser already gives us problems, it is usually a clear symptom. There are times when a slow operation may be related to the lack of space, but if you have freed space or do not have too much space occupied, then we already know that it is a system thing.

Battery duration

The battery of your Android phone has a certain life . In addition, with the own use of the telephone and the load cycles, a wear is generated in it. Something that causes a reduction in their autonomy. If your phone already has a time, it is something that you are probably going to notice. You will see that the battery lasts you very little time.

Even if you resort to tricks to increase it, you will not make this change. In addition, although you follow the advice to keep the battery in the best conditions at all times, it ends up being inevitable that some wear arises and its capacity is decreasing. In many phones we have the possibility to change the battery. Although depending on the age of the phone and the cost, there are cases where it pays to buy a new Android smartphone.

Old version of Android

Another of the clearest signs that our Android phone is old may be that the version we have been somewhat outdated. At present we are in the middle of transition between Oreo and Pie. Oreo is about to be the most used version in the market, it may be in a month already.

On the other hand, one way to know if your version is outdated is if you have stopped receiving updates. Most brands on Android usually give two years of updates, although there are phones that only get an update of the operating system. If you have stopped having updates, it is a clear sign that the manufacturer will no longer support you.

Also, using a somewhat older version of Android has another problem. Since many applications stop giving support and compatibility. So with the passage of time, you will not be able to use some applications, such as Chrome, on your phone. Something that in the end forces you to go looking for a new smartphone.

Outdated specifications

Another way we can use to know if the time has come to buy a new Android phone, is to check the specifications of the phone. We can see the differences you have with other devices that we are currently in the market. It will be helpful to see this.

For example, the fingerprint sensor is common in Android phones today (whether it is on the back or integrated into the screen). If your smartphone does not have one, we can see that something has been left behind in this regard. Also cameras are something to consider. There has been a great improvement in this field in the market.

If our camera is bad, it is a clear indication that it is not up to what is in the market. Especially now that we have many phones with double cameras in the mid-range, as normal. Check the specifications of your phone and you will know if it is worth renewing it or not. We can try to make it last longer, but there comes a time when it will not work anymore.
