These days people are keeping their mobile phones for longer. With the cost of living continuously climbing, gone are the days of getting a new smartphone every year. If you fall into this category of people, here are 7  tips and tricks on how to keep your phone in good condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Your Display and Ports Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smartphones get dirtier quicker than you think. Whether that\u2019s from resting your phone down on a train table or simply touching your phone after a snack session. This can cause a build-up of dust and dirt within crucial parts of your phone for example the microphone and charging port which can affect the overall functionality of your device. To avoid this it\u2019s important to clean your phone regularly – you can buy a mobile phone cleaning kit online which comes with phone-friendly swabs and wipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy a Durable Mobile Phone Case<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Getting a durable mobile phone case <\/a>is the perfect way to protect your device from any knocks and drops. If you\u2019re one of those people who prefers the look of your phone with no case, then why not opt for a clear case instead? This way you still get to see all the natural beauty of your device whilst protecting it. It\u2019s a win-win.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Your Phone OS Updated <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With all the operating system updates that are constantly released, it\u2019s easy to fall behind. Although you might think this is harmless, this can deteriorate the overall performance of your phone. New OS updates often come with bug fixes improving performance and include enhanced security updates. So it\u2019s 100% worth following through with updating your phone even though it might be a drag.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Extreme Temperatures<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all seen the classic \u2018Temperature Warning\u2019 message that\u2019s popped up on our phones every now and again. When our devices are put in direct sunlight, they are at risk of battery draining, random crashing and other permanent damage. When you can, try your best to keep your phone out of extreme weather conditions (this includes environments that are too cold!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Downloading Unnecessary Apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all go through phases of downloading apps on our phones that we never actually use. You might think this action is harmless however this actually consumes the memory on your phone and ultimately reduces performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a Screen Protector <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Screen protectors are shields between your phone screen and the world. If you\u2019re a particularly clumsy person who drops your phone a lot, a protector will prevent your display from cracking saving you a significant amount of phone repair<\/a> money in the long run. Prevention is better than cure! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Your Phone Away From Moisture and Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although most phones these days have an official IP rating making them dust and water-resistant, it\u2019s still important to avoid moisture and water to your device where you can.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you have 7 different ways to keep the longevity of your mobile phone up, it\u2019s time to put it into action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
