Buying a new mobile phone is an expensive business. Today it is difficult to find any of the newer models for a sum under SEK 10,000.
At the same time, the lifespan of a mobile phone is not very long. TT reported last year that the average cell phone lasts two to three years.
But what if you could make your Android phone last seven years?

The tricks that make your mobile last longer
But apart from the fact that the updates make your mobile last longer, there are some tricks to use. It is important that you take care of your phone if you want it to last a long time.
The New York Times recommends doing the following to make your phone last seven years:
A common problem with many phones is that the battery goes bad and discharges quickly. The battery usually begins to give way after two years and therefore it is wise to replace it to extend the life of your phone.
It is also common for phones to be destroyed by external factors, for example if you drop the phone on the ground so that the screen is smashed. It is therefore important to protect your phone so that it lasts to accompany you through thick and thin.
Have you ever looked into the mobile phone’s socket for the charger? If you do, there is a high risk of finding dirt and dust. As dirt and dust build up, it may take longer to charge the phone. Dirt can also accumulate in the speakers, making it difficult to talk on the phone.
