- Transition Effect and Flipboard Briefing are basically just for eye-candy, for users who are concerned with performance issues, this options can be turned off. Additionally, lowering or turning off the Window animation scale can greatly enhance the device's performance.

- Uninstalling apps that are not in use can also help conserve storage space. Additionally, this can also help speed the processing power of the device. Clearing Cached Data will not only free up storage space but can also help in increasing Internet browsing speed.
