Modern mobile phones are designed to last only 3-5 years.
However, the gadget will function much longer if the owner takes good care of the device.
A smartphone can easily operate without interruption for a decade or even longer.
The main thing is to follow the four rules listed below.
Use protective equipment
It is necessary to install protection on the screen (glass or film).
In addition, it is advisable to use a case.
But remember: no protective equipment provides 100% protection for a gadget.
Do everything possible to ensure that your mobile phone does not fall and get damaged.
Maximum caution when using your smartphone is a guarantee of a long life for the device.
Avoid overheating
Constant overheating can seriously shorten the life of a smartphone.
Do not leave the device on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight. And do not use the mobile phone while it is charging.
How to use a charger correctly
Try to connect only the “native” charger to the gadget.
If it is lost or broken, purchase the highest quality replacement.
A cheap and bad charger can quickly “kill” a smartphone.
Periodically rid your device of unnecessary data
Delete unnecessary applications, as well as photo and video files, in a timely manner.
Also, don't forget about the importance of periodically clearing the cache - temporary files saved by certain applications (most often we are talking about instant messengers).
Remember: overloaded memory seriously increases the load on your mobile phone.
For reference
A smartphone is a mobile phone (modern ones - usually with a touch screen), supplemented with the functionality of a smart device, almost always equipped with a camera, and also a front camera designed for video calls, video conferences and taking selfies.
