Whether you just bought the Galaxy S8 or have had it for a year, we’ll show you how to improve performance and speed up the Galaxy S8 in three easy steps. While Samsung’s phones are powerful, they often start to slow down the longer you own them. This trick can fix software lag and improve your phone overall.
There are several different ways to modify or improve the Galaxy S8, but most of them are really advanced hacks. This trick is so simple that anyone can do it and it takes a few minutes at most.
You have to start by enabling a developer options menu which is hidden by default and then change three settings on the phone by following our instruction video below. This process is completely safe and will not damage anything or void your warranty. Try it today.
How To Speed Up Galaxy S8
This will unlock the hidden developer menu. Then change these three settings.
Out of the box, these are all set to 1x. All three settings control animations on the Galaxy S8. Like windows and other effects that disappear when you scroll or hit the house. This is what makes Android look beautiful. Setting it to 0.5x halves the duration, animations, and effects. Windows will boot faster, you can navigate the settings menu faster, and the whole phone should now be smooth.
This is an old trick on Android but still works great. In fact, share this with your friends as it works for any Android smartphone or tablet, even on the new Galaxy S9. Some may even turn these three settings all the way down to zero for even better performance and potentially longer battery life.
It’s worth noting that some of these animations make Android look and feel like it is. So changing it to 0 can have a huge impact. That’s why we recommend 0.5x for a perfect midpoint of speed and visuals. To finish, simply reboot the Galaxy S8. You’ll instantly notice better performance in everything you do on the phone.
Free Space
We also recommend doing some kind of “spring cleaning”. Basically, freeing up space by clearing out old, unused or bloated files on the device. Especially after the Android 8.0 Oreo update earlier this year. Here’s how to free up space and get better performance on the Galaxy S8.
Use Performance Mode
Finally, use Samsung’s performance mods to get better performance. And although this may reduce battery life, you will notice the increase. Samsung’s performance mode options increase the phone’s responsiveness, increase the brightness, give the screen a higher resolution, and tweak a few other settings.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Galaxy S8 Performance Mode. Changing the animations is our first recommendation, but these three things combined will give you a better experience on your phone. old or new.
