5 ways to reduce high data usage on Android Phones & Tablets

Last night I got an offline message from a friend of mine, for the message to be sent offline few hours I left the media was enough for me to indicate a problem from him. Going through his message I knew he was bothered about his lately purchased samsung galaxy. He complained that the usage of data plan on the device was too high that he can’t bear to keep wasting his last cards on recharging for another data plan. He was like; a monthly data plan subscription which is meant to last within that period ends up draining in a week.

Actually, android smartphones are used to high data consumption. So today’s stroll, I would be explaining the 5 ways to reduce android data usage.
