While most people prefer to set up a new Android with a backup of their old device, I always configure a smartphone from scratch. It requires a bit more manual effort than transferring all your data and settings automatically, but the extra work is worthwhile. By choosing your settings individually and curating the apps you want to reinstall, excess bloat is removed, and wasted storage space is recovered. In fact, when an Android phone starts to feel slow or bogged down by apps and files, I won’t hesitate to wipe the device entirely and start all over again.
