WTF? Did you really need to write a fucking book? Very simple rules if you want a phone to last a long time. 1: Don't buy an Apple phone, it's because they intentionally slow the hardware down with operating system update bloat to drive a faster hardware upgrade cycle. They do this with all their hardware, tablets to computers. Why they have so much money. 2: Buy a phone without an extra OS on top like a Pixel, not a Samsung OS phone. Again less bloat. 3: Buy twice or more storage space you'll think you'll ever need. It's because as a storage fills up it starts to slow down. 4: Buy a decent phone about a few months after it's release once the initial bugs are worked out. 5: Backup your files to the cloud routinely, including files that are only on ones phone. This requires some careful attention to ensure everything is backed up. 6: Once you have your phone backed up good, then once a year do a factory reset, the operating system and updates will remain, the apps and your files will be deleted. This helps clean up things because one can just download apps they are using now, the files then can be returned via the cloud. 7: Stay off questionable sites like porn, they take advantage of a browser exploit to install a RAT (remote access trojan) that silently installs malware that does bad things and slows down the phone. Everything from pop up ads, to watching you enter your passwords to banking sites. 8: Keep your system and store updates current. Run the free version of Malwarebytes and update the definitions.
