How to make your old cell phone look brand new | Digital Trends Spanish


If you’re bored with your phone, it feels old and you don’t have much budget available, we have the solution for you.

That’s right: believe it or not, you can apply a series of changes to your cell phone that will cost you very little (or nothing) and that will make you feel like you’re brand new.

Replace the screen protector

The screen is the face of the phone, what we see all the time, which is why it is very important to keep it in optimal condition. If you have been foresight, your device will have a screensaver. This type of solution is very useful to prevent the glass from being damaged, but over time cracks and marks tend to appear that give the device a bad appearance.

If you want to revive your phone for a while longer, change the screen protector and even if you have the device insured, you can completely change the panel to make it look brand new.

change your wallpaper

We continue through the front of the phone, since it is what we see the most on a day-to-day basis. It is possible that you have had the same lock screen background for a long time and always seeing the same thing can make us tired.

Changing the wallpaper is a small gesture that can help you look at your phone with different eyes. We recommend that you choose a different one than you had before, with an opposite color scheme, theme, or style.

Unlock a casing

Part of the appeal of a new phone is its appearance, so what if instead of buying a new device you put a new case on your current phone? It may seem like a simplistic solution, but you’d be surprised how effective it can be.

replace the battery

If your phone is a few years old, the battery may no longer last as long as it did when you first bought it. While a new battery may be a bit expensive, it will always be less than buying a new phone.

This gesture can prolong the time you spend away from the charger and, of course, prevent you from having to buy a new model.

free up space

If your phone is full of applications, photos or videos, you may have noticed that it does not work properly or that it even crashes or closes suddenly. If this is your situation, you can give your device a little extra life by emptying the space that is unnecessarily occupied.

You won’t need to erase much; removing 5 to 10 percent of the memory will see your phone start to run more smoothly.

  • To find out how much space you have occupied on an iPhone, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
  • On Android go to Settings > Storage.

Both operating systems will give you options to delete large files or even duplicate files.
