The Nokia G10 was launched in April 2021 as a budget smartphone. It is a simple but elegant device that has a 6.5″ screen, and a light but durable build. It has a MediaTek MT67626 Helio G25 processor and a Triple AI camera. It also comes with 2 years of security updates. The Nokia G10 has a 5050 mAh Li-Po battery that gives long-lasting power.
Now, are you looking to make your Nokia G10 run faster and smoother? Have you had problems with your phone being laggy and slow? Here are some ways to make your Nokia G10 perform much better and faster.
Delete Unused apps
The benefit of owning a Nokia smartphone, the G10 included, is that they do not come with bloatware and unwanted apps. Any smartphone user would love to have all their desired apps installed. This might lead to large amounts of apps piling up on the device, over time. It is important to form a habit of uninstalling unused apps and games. Having lots of these apps will hinder and slow down the performance of your device.
Especially when you have some of them running in the background. They also become so many and have so much data on each one of them, that there is barely any storage space left for your device to run as smoothly as you may have liked.
Clear App Cache
Cleaning the cache of the app on your Nokia G10 is important in terms of sending up your phone. Clearing the cache of an app can make that particular app run faster and smoother than it did before, and reduce possible lag. Clearing cache is also very important for entry-level devices too to help them improve their performance. As they are not as powerful as high-end devices. You can clear the cache of any app by long pressing the app icon, selecting App info, and then Storage. There will be an option to Clear cache. Select that and you’re good to go.
Updates
It is important to keep your Nokia G10 updated. This is because, with every new update, there might be security enhancements (which are crucial) but there might also be performance improvements added to the update that can make your overall experience, and device speed, better.
Restarting your Device
It is well known that any device can perform faster and better simply off of a restart. The same holds for the Nokia G10. Doing this should address most of the performance issues, as it deletes temporary files to speed up the phone and clears the phone’s memory.
Use the Lite Version applications
Lite versions of apps are the shortened versions of these said apps. Apps Tit Tok, Facebook, e.t.c. The lite versions are usually limited in comparison to the actual applications and don’t offer as many features. These lightweight apps, that do not work your device as hard as the main ones, are designed for entry-level smartphones and designed for users who want to keep their apps simple or use something simple. They help boost the performance of your device and lower your data and charges.
Hard Reset
If you are looking for a simple method on how to Make Nokia G10 Run Faster, it may be the most effective. If you do a hard reset on your Nokia G10, then all the phone data will be deleted, and the phone’s storage will be clean. At the same time, the random-access memory of your Nokia G10 will start working like new again. However, you need to back up all the data before performing a hard reset.
The main reason for this is a hard reset because all the data in your Nokia G10 storage will erase. This will increase the performance of your Nokia G10 phone compared to its previous state before the reset. But it bears too much of a cost for some. If you are fine with having all your data lost, you can go for this option. It will certainly improve the phone’s performance and feel like you just bought a new phone.

If you do not own a smart TV, you can still get Netflix on a non smart TV : So, you are tired of watching Netflix on the tiny screen of a smartphone and want to go big. You have a regular TV and know that people watch Netflix on their Smart TVs. But you are not ready to replace your regular TV with a smart one. How can you watch Netflix on a regular TV?
In the guide below, I share a few tips including how I got Netflix on a non Smart TV, without a fuss.
How To Get Netflix On A Non Smart TV

To Get Netflix On A Non Smart TV, You Need A Dongle
Because regular television sets do not come with certain features, they require an external device to enable them to connect and interact with a service like Netflix. That external device is called a dongle.
Chromecast with Google TV looks quite differently from Fire Stick, but it also comes with a remote controller. See the below image.
There are three models of Fire Stick. They differ in price and performance. Which means that the higher priced ones offer you better performance. Let’s look at each type.
- Fire Stick Lite: Costing only $29.99, this is the most affordable option to get and watch Netflix on a non Smart TV. You get the full functionality to stream from Netflix and other services like Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc.
- The 1080p Fire Stick costs $39.99, for the benefit of having a slightly faster processor and the new Fire Remote controller. The new controller provides voice commands and volume and power controls for your television.
- Lastly, the 4K Fire Stick, as the name suggests, supports 4k resolution, in addition to the extras that the 1080l version already provide. It costs $49.99.
Setup
- Buy your preferred Fire Stick. As already mentioned, it costs anything between $20 and $50 and can be found on Amazon, AliExpress, Jumia, and many other online stores.
- Plug it into your regular TV via the HDMI port. If your regular TV does not have an HDMI port, you will need an HDMI to AV (RGB) converter/adapter, or HDMI to component adapter. These are available for as low as $15. Connect the Fire Stick to the adapter and then that to your TV’s AV port.
- Make sure your Home Internet WiFi is up and running.
- Plug your Fire Stick into a power outlet. It should indicate that it is powering on.
- Use your television’s remote controller to select the input that matches the port you plugged the Fire Stick into. That should be HDMI. Once you pick the correct port, your Fire Stick boot up screen will appear on the TV display.
- Your remote should auto-pair with the Fire Stick. If it doesn’t, hold the “Home” button for about “fifteen seconds” to force it to happen.
- Next, follow the instructions on the TV screen to connect your Fire Stick to your Home Internet Wi-Fi network.
- Once connected, navigate to the app store to download the Netflix app. Don’t get scared; if you know how to install apps on a phone, it is the same process.
- Login to your Netflix account and begin to stream and watch your favourite movies and TV shows.
How to watch Netflix on a regular TV with Chromecast With Google TV
Note: What you need to get Netflix on a non smart TV is “Chromecast with Google TV”, not the older and less capable models that are called simply, “Chromecast”. Either the HD or 4K variant of Chromecast with Google TV will do. The 4K variant is the more advanced of the two, and also the more expensive, but you really should not bother with it if you do not own a 4K television set.
- Buy your Chromecast With Google dongle.
- Plug it into your regular TV via the HDMI port. If your television set does not have an HDMI port, try one of the alternatives mentioned above already.
- Make sure your home router is on and there is an active ainterbet connection.
- Plug your Chromecast device into a wall power outlet and it will power on.
- Download and install the Google Home app on your smartphone. This is important, as it is used for setting up your Chromecast.
- On the app, set up a Home and add your Chromecast a device on the Home app. Your Chromecast device will connect to your WiFi and then to TV, after which you can install all the apps you want on your TV.
- Now, it is time to login to your Netflix account and start watching your favourite shows and movies.
Summary and Final Words
Personally, I use Chromecast with Google TV and setting up was smooth and easy. It has served me well till date without issues.
Is there any way to get Netflix on a non Smart TV without connecting an external device? Unfortunately, there is not. It is the external device that puts the “smart” in your regular TV. What other external devices can you use to get Netflix on your non Smart TV? Options include Chromecast with Google TV ($30-50), Roku ($30-39), and Apple TV ($150).
