10 THINGS WE LEARNED ABOUT THE TOTALLY SWEET NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 Could this be the iPhone killer you've been waiting for? Samsung On April 21st,  Samsung  will unleash their Galaxy S8 and S8+ on the world but we were able to count ourselves among the lucky few who pocketed the phone a week early. Using the Galaxy S8 as our primary phone, we put it through the ringer and were damn impressed with what Samsung has accomplished this time around. Here are 10 standout features of Samsung’s Galaxy S8, and why it’s setting a new standard for cell phones. 1. There's No Home Button The main difference and first thing you’ll notice about the S8 is that it’s without a physical home button. The S8 isn’t the first phone to do away with the home button but it is the best implementation of a software-based alternative that we’ve seen so far. We didn’t miss the home button on the S8 because the virtual one Samsung has built into the screen is intuitive...

6 quick ways to clear space on an Android device that lags

How to - Zap cached app files in a single tap, clear the Downloads folder, delete unneeded offline maps, take charge of music downloads, and more.
Few things in life are as annoying as finding that your Android handset refuses to install anymore app updates because it’s run out of storage. Unlike many of life’s little annoyances, though, this one’s easy to fix.

You can quickly clear out hundreds of megabytes or even a gig or two by sweeping up stale downloads, rooting out offline maps and documents, clearing caches, and wiping unneeded music and video files. There’s even an easy way to find and nix space-hogging apps that you no longer use.

1. Clear out all cached app data:

 These caches of data are essentially just junk files, and they can be safely deleted to free up storage space. Tap the Clear Cache button to take out the trash.

If poking through each and every app looking for cached data to clear sounds like a chore, there’s an easy way to clear all cached app data in one fell swoop. Tap Settings > Storage > Cached data, then tap OK in the confirmation window.

2. Clean up the Downloads folder:

 Just like on a PC or a Mac, your Android device has a Downloads folder, and it’s a favorite hideout for miscellaneous junk files downloaded from the Web or by your various Android apps.


Tap and hold a file in the Downloads folder and then tap the Trash button to delete it.
Open the app drawer and tap Downloads to see what’s lurking in the Downloads folder. Tap the three-line menu in the top corner of the screen and sort the list of downloads by size, then take a look at what’s hogging the most storage space. If you see anything you don’t need, tap and hold the file to select it, then tap the Trash button.

3. Dump photos that are already backed up:
One of the best features of Google’s new Photos app is its ability to back up your entire photo are safely backed up, Photos can zap any locally stored images to free up more storage space.
Google Photos will quickly delete any pictures on your device that have already been backed up to your Google account.
Open the Photos app, tap the three-line “hamburger” button in the top-left corner of the screen, then tap Settings > Free up device storage. The Photos app will let you know how many pictures it can delete from local storage; tap OK to pull the trigger.
4. Manage downloaded music and podcasts:

Google’s Play Music app gives you two options when it comes to storing tunes on your device: You can manually pick which purchased or uploaded Google Play songs and albums get downloaded, or you can let the app make those decisions for you. Either way, music lovers may end up with a significant amount of their device storage gobbled up by their favorite artists.5. Erase offline areas in Google Maps
Downloading a map in the latest version of the Google Maps app makes for a great way to navigate when your device is offline, especially now that both searching and driving directions are supported.

5. Erase offline areas in Google Maps:

Downloading a map in the latest version of the Google Maps app makes for a great way to navigate when your device is offline, especially now that both searching and driving directions are supported.But those searchable offline “areas” come at a cost: storage space, and potentially lots of it. Indeed, a single offline map can consume more than a gigabyte of storage depending on the size of the area.

You can check how much space your offline maps have staked out by tapping the three-line hamburger button in the top corner of the main Google Maps interface, then tap Offline areas. The storage used by each offline map is displayed below its name; tap the map and tap Delete to reclaim its storage space.

 6. Unload your least-used apps:
ct that I can download and install Android apps to my devices remotely from a desktop Web browser. The downside? My Android handsets tend to be overstuffed with too many apps, many of them used only once (or even never).The solution, of course, is to delete some of those apps—ideally, the ones you use the least.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to sort your installed apps by the last time they were used, although you can (if you tap Settings > Storage & USB > Apps) organize them according to size (tap the three-dot button in the top corner of the screen, then tap Sort by size)
These are 6 ways that i came across to wipe free space, if you got any post Yours​ in comments
