Maintenance applications

[AC Question]

Hello , i'm going to get a new smartphone soon with Android 5.0 , Quadcore 1.3Ghz and 1GB of Ram and 8GB of storage.

I'd like to know if these applications are really needed or not for a better performance:
-Startup manager
-Memory booster / Ram booster
-Clean master

I've heard that android doesn't need memory booster because its own ram management is enough but i want an opinion from someone regarding my case.

Thanks.

Good evening, and thank you for visiting Android Central!

I have never used any of those, and never had any issues! I only download trusted applications from the Play Store, and I always look at the reviews before I download them. I find that turning your phone off when it starts getting sluggish and back on does everything that all of the other apps claim to do. I base that on my experiences with Android.... and I do realize that opinions may vary!

I don't use any of those apps either, and I've never had any issues with my devices getting slow.

Unlike Windows, Android works best when RAM is used, not unused.
