Some devices suffer from a low-memory issue and most perform poorly once they hit around 80% of their device storage capacity. If your device are showing signs of lag, it may be time to do some spring cleaning.

I would like to clarify one point here that, the term memmory has to be corrected as lack of sufficient RAM specifically. The top reason for lower RAM is by the following; 1. Running multiple applications in the background 2. Ratio between the processor speed and RAM are not in Sync 3. Phone cashe is full and need to reset the phone to get rid of this situvation after a while

  1. When the phone storage is full, it will experience some lagging.
  2. Running of so many applications at a time will make the phone lag because all these applications will need their space on the phone memory and once this happens, the memory gets filled up quickly.
  3. Also viruses could affect the phone although this is not common but there are a few malware with third party applications that can affect a smart phone.

Mostly devices lags whenever your app takes too much processing and also consumed too much memory space for the processing in the mean while other apps also running in the background and they also takes memory space due to this memory buffer exceeded and your device going to lags. So this can be sorted out by focusing or analysing which task takes too much memory and then re-edit their business logic.

Some of the reasons for this would be that you have installed numerous applications and your storage is full, cached files from older application taken up space.free applications that keep pushing adware to the phone.Old browsing history that has never been cleared,Many open applications that have not been closed.

The list can go on.
