What should I do if the operating time of the device does not coincide with the operating time declared by the manufacturer?
A smartphone is a complex electronic device that includes the functions of a pocket computer and cell phone and consumes a lot of energy for these functions to work. The main amount of energy is spent on the operation of the display module and the GSM transmit-receive path. The brightness of the display is automatically set to maximum in very bright environments (sunny day) or manually set by the user. Maximum brightness consumes maximum power. During GSM operation and with stable and stable reception "at maximums", the device consumes a minimum amount of energy to maintain communication. In case of an unstable and weak network signal, the machine needs more power to maintain communication. In the case of "Network Search" in an area with no network, the device consumes the maximum amount of energy that is spent on searching for the nearest base stations...

And if this happens at a time when you need everything at once, then you want to smash the phone against the wall.
Performance degradation is a problem we face not only on phones. After prolonged use, they begin to brake and personal computers and laptops, this is normal. The good news is that the speed of Android can be restored.
Think back to the moment when you just bought your Android smartphone. Did it also slow down and buggy when performing simple actions? If not, then we will try to return the former performance to our phone or tablet.
We clean Android from unnecessary applications
So, the first step you need to take is to review all your applications. Each installed application takes place in the system and therefore negatively affects its performance. Feel free to delete application if you do not remember when the last time you used it! After all, reinstalling the application, if necessary, will only take a few minutes, and removing unnecessary applications will speed up the Android device and possibly save your nervous system 🙂
We clean the smartphone or tablet from garbage
The second step to cleaning Android smartphone or the tablet will be cleaning the device from debris.
Photo and video

Downloads
Go to downloads, usually a whole bunch of unnecessary garbage is collected there too, due to which Android slows down. Review the files in the downloads and delete what you don't need.
Cache
Go to settings and select the "memory" section. Here we are interested in the item "Cache" or "cached data". The cache is information from various applications preloaded into the device's memory - for example, gallery thumbnails, screensavers, media files of applications. Large amounts of this data can also slow down the device. Therefore, feel free to click on this line and confirm the clearing of the cache.
In the "Memory" section there is also an item "Other" or "Miscellaneous", you need to be careful about cleaning it, you can go into it, but if you are not sure whether it is worth deleting any of its items, then it is better to leave everything as it is.
We clean the memory card of the Android device
Let's go further - a memory card. A lot is also collected on the memory card with active long-term use. unnecessary files... The system takes longer to scan them, which slows down your Android phone or tablet. 
It is better to clean the memory card having backup data. To do this, if there is a card reader in the computer or laptop, then turn off the Android device, then remove the memory card and insert it into the computer. Create a folder on the computer disk and copy all the contents of the microSD card of our Android device into it. After copying, check if everything has really been copied, this can be done by comparing the size of the information on the SD card with the folder that contains the copy.
Next, insert the memory card into the Android device and turn it on. The following steps will lead to to complete removal all data from the memory card... We go into the settings, the memory item, look for the line "Clear memory card" or "Clear SD card" and start cleaning.
What is Hard Reset
None of the above helped? Well, there is still the most radical, but at the same time, the most effective remedy. You may have heard its names such as wipe, hard reset, full reset of Android, general reset of Android, reset to factory settings of Android. All these names reflect the essence of this decision - a complete reset and Android return to the state when the phone was turned on for the first time. All data that was on the Android phone or tablet will be irrevocably destroyed!

Should I change my phone
If even after full reset Android phone slows down, then maybe it's just outdated and no longer meets your requirements, it's time to change it! 🙂
There are special applications for evaluating the performance of the phone, for example. Install and run this application and test your Android device, if your faithful friend scores less than 6000-7000 points in the test, then you should seriously think about a new device. 
When choosing a new device, it is desirable that it score at least 15,000-20,000 points in Antutu, this is the minimum necessary for comfortable work and launching most games. But that's a completely different story.
