SPEED

UP YOUR

SLUGGISH

DEVICE

FROM SMARTPHONES TO LAPTOPS

AND TABLETS, MOST DEVICES SLOW

DOWN OVER TIME, BUT THERE ARE

WAYS TO BOOST THEIR SPEED.

LET US ADMIT IT. There is nothing

more frustrating when our smartphones,

laptops or tablets (yes, even the premi-

um Apple products) slow down, freeze

and start crashing. Life in the slow lane

is unenviable when the world is getting

ready for super-fast 5G devices and tech

giant Google is reportedly developing a

‘never slow’ mode for its Chrome browser.

One way out is to replace your old device

with a new one, but even flagship gadgets

with the best processors are not immune

to lagging, especially when you are using

too many apps or storing too many files.

Before you give up on your current device

because its speed and performance have

gone down, try our tips to find a suitable fix.
