When to perform a soft reset

We should mention that restart, reboot, soft reset, etc., basically mean the same thing – cycling its power state. It is advised to restart your phone every few days to close the processes that run in the background, boost memory, and provide better performance. Also, a restart is always a good idea if you are experiencing issues with your phone.

How to soft reset your Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G

There are two ways to perform a soft reset. If the phone isn’t frozen, you press and hold the Power button. When the Restart option appears, tap on it. Your device will reboot. That’s it.

However, another method is handy when the phone is frozen and responsive. Since most phones today come with built-in batteries, a soft reset serves as a simulated battery removal.

Here's how to soft reset your device using the hardware keys:

  • Press and hold the Power button and the Volume down button at the same time
  • Keep holding the buttons until the screen powers off
  • Wait a couple more seconds as the phone restarts.
