Greeting all, I’ve only ever been an android user, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone talk about this. My Galaxy S21 is starting to have performance issues and I’m curious if a clean install would breath new life into it?

Does this help with android devices like a fresh install on a PC, or do android devices just get bogged down with updates? Would it be worth the trouble to back things up and do a factory reset?

Thanks!

    depends

    as long as it is an android image from the manufacturer for the drivers

    beyond that the part that contains the operating system the memory module is the same as desktop/ laptop, auto, and any other computers in one regard

    anything that contains, reads, or writes data will eventually lose integrity usually at 2-3 years sometimes up to five years
