Hey Samsung Members! 

I have a question I've been really paranoid about making sure my phone lasts the full 7 years and I was recommended to set a schedule to automatically restart my phone every 7 days however I want you lot to comment other ways I can look after my phone internally without sacrificing performance.

To save battery , charge it with original charger only, stop charging at 80 percent, try to put charging at night time , turn off fast charging. Optimise the apps for less battery consumption. Avoid testing water proofing

Hello @Brooklin  👋 

As @RajeevPR mentions limiting the charge of the battery is thought to help keep the battery healthy. 

Other ways of helping to keep the phone in tip top are >

  • 1. Use a case. 
  • 2. Use a screen protector and consider camera lens protectors. 
  • 3. Use the optimisation tool in Device Care perhaps once a week. 
  • 4.  Always update your software / security patches. After a software update consider clearing the phone's System Partition Cache Files Section. Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's } 
  • 5. If the internal storage capacity starts to fill up then look at deleting unused / rarely used Apps etc. 
  • 6. Do not use apk files.

I mention the case and screen protectors in my list  as invariably not using these can usually limit the capabilities of a phone if accidental damage occurs. 

Think of adding some form of insurance. 

Above all enjoy using your phone. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎
