Most slowdowns come from a few habits rather than an old phone.
Free up storage
Phones slow down when storage is nearly full. Clearing old downloads and large videos helps immediately.
Limit background apps
Apps you rarely open can be set to restricted battery use so they don't wake up constantly.
Keep the system updated
Updates often include performance fixes, and restarting once a week clears stuck processes.
