5 Simple Ways to Make Your Phone Last Longer

Phones are expensive, and repairs are not cheap either. These five habits help your phone last longer and keep more of its value when you sell or upgrade.

1. Use a case made for your exact model

A case that fits properly protects the corners, buttons and camera. Generic cases slip and leave gaps. We stock cases made for specific phones, such as the Tecno Camon 30 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy S24+ and S25+ and the Infinix Smart 10.

2. Look for a raised camera edge

Modern phones have big camera bumps. A case with a raised ring around the camera keeps the lenses off the table and away from scratches.

3. Add a screen protector

A tempered glass protector takes the hit instead of your screen. A privacy glass protector also stops people beside you from reading your chats and banking apps.

4. Charge smarter

• Use a good charger and cable. Cheap ones can damage the battery.
• Avoid charging under your pillow or in direct sun, because heat wears batteries out faster.
• You do not need to drain the battery to zero. Topping up between 20% and 80% is gentler on it.

5. Keep it clean

Dust in the charging port causes loose connections. Clean ports gently with a soft, dry brush, never with a pin or water.
