Here are ten ways to make a second-hand phone feel newer and more personalised:

1. Clean the phone thoroughly:
Use a microfibre cloth and isopropyl alcohol to clean the screen, body, and ports of the phone. This not only removes dirt and grime but also gives it a fresh feel.

2. Factory reset the device:
Though Cash Converters wipe all their tech products before a resell, nothing prevents you from doing it again. A factory reset clears out all previous data, apps, and settings. This ensures you’re starting with a clean slate, just like a new phone.

3. Update the operating system and apps:
Check for any available updates for the operating system and installed apps. Updating to the latest version can enhance performance, security, and overall usability. And remember to download all your favourite apps like games, social media or shops.

4. Install a new launcher or theme:
Customise the look and feel of your phone by installing a new launcher or theme. This changes the icons, home screen layout, and animations, giving the phone a fresh look.

5. Change the wallpaper and lock screen:
Set a new wallpaper and lock screen image that reflects your personality or interests. Pictures of family or happy memories are always a good call – in fact, why not go out for the occasion and make some memories in the process! Using high-resolution images or dynamic wallpapers gives a very polished appearance.

6. Customise ringtones and notifications:
No one likes having a strange ringtone or sound. Spend some time listening to the phone’s sound options and choosing your favourite for buttons, alarms, ringtones and more. This small change can make the phone feel more tailored to you.

7. Get a new phone case and screen protector:
Buy a new case that suits your style, along with a fresh screen protector. This not only protects the phone but also makes it look and feel new in your hands.

8. Organise your apps:
Arrange your apps in a way that suits your usage patterns. Create folders, remove unused apps, and add useful widgets or links to the home screen.

9. Optimise battery performance:
Check the battery health and calibrate it if needed. Use battery-saving modes and manage background apps to enhance battery life and improve overall performance.

10. Add personal accessories:
Consider adding accessories like wireless headphones, a pop socket, or a custom stylus. These accessories can make using the phone more enjoyable and unique to your preferences, and what’s more, Cash Converters stock these too!

So, what are you waiting for? Pop into your nearest Cash Converters to get an upgrade on your phone. Pre-loved means you’ll be saving money, and you’ll of course have the option to sell your old phone too.
