Android is a mobile operating system that really offers many possibilities for the user to personalize their own experience. It will be enough to fiddle around with the Settings to be able to better manage the notifications, enable the gestures and improve the functioning of your smartphone.
Google's mobile operating system is open source: each company can develop its own user interface and offer a completely different usage experience. And if you are not satisfied with the user interface created by the software house, you can install one of the many launchers on the Google Play Store. While this freedom allows users to experiment with many different features, on the other hand it often forces people to face continuous slowdowns and application malfunctions.
The big difference between Android and iOS is precisely in the optimization between the software and the hardware part. While Apple has worked constantly to solve any kind of problem, even the most insignificant, for Android programmers it is more complicated to intervene when there are dozens and dozens of companies that produce smartphones with the green robot operating system. iOS is a closed operating system and only the developers of the Cupertino company can intervene to solve some problems or malfunctions. It is no coincidence that the best Android smartphone on the market is the Google Pixel: nobody knows the potential of the green robot better than the Mountain View company. But, even if you are not a programmer, you can get the most out of your device thanks to the very simple tricks that will allow you to improve the performance of your Android smartphone.
We don't realize it, but surfing the Internet with a smartphone takes up a lot of the bandwidth available to us. Especially if we use Chrome. But the browser made by Google saves "time and money" by activating the "hidden" data saver in the settings. To activate it, just launch the application, press the icon in the shape of three dots at the top right and click on Settings. A window will open with several options: pressing on Data Saver you can activate the "data saver". Thanks to this technology it is possible to save up to 30% of data in a single month and use the band of your Wi-Fi connection to listen to music on YouTube. Even Facebook Messenger is about to launch a data saver to optimize data consumption. So, if you want to improve your connection, you need to activate the data-saver in the applications that give it a chance.
Optimize battery consumption
One of the main problems with Android smartphones is battery life. By now most of the devices have an autonomy of about twenty-four hours, even with intensive use of the device. All companies are working to develop new systems that optimize battery consumption: Google introduced Doze technology with Android Marshmallow, while Sony, HTC and Samsung have developed a battery saving mode.
Among the various components of the smartphone, the one that most consumes the battery is the display: to optimize consumption it is possible to decrease the brightness of the screen and disable the "Adaptive brightness" option from the Display Settings.
When installing an application some permissions are required to access other features of the smartphone. For example, installing the torch may require access to Contacts on the device. Usually there is not much importance given to permits, but in reality they are fundamental to protect your personal data. To control the "freedom" that we have granted to the applications it will be necessary to enter the applications and then press on the App. A screen will open with all the applications installed on the device and it will be possible to analyze all the permissions we have granted to the various apps. In the event that something abnormal is found it is preferable to immediately uninstall the application: space will be gained on the internal memory and the performance of the smartphone will be improved.
One of the great battles between Google and Apple is being fought on the front of personal assistants. It is no coincidence that the Mountain View company has developed a new voice assistant for Android Nougat: Google Assistant. But for all those who have not yet received the latest update of the mobile operating system, they can use Google Now, which despite being criticized by users is an excellent voice assistant. It integrates seamlessly with all the applications on your smartphone and allows you to speed up computer operation. Just a simple command to activate it and with few words it will be possible.
