Since making its debut in the smartphone industry, Samsung has maintained its reputation as one of the most reliable names in the business. The whole Galaxy Note 7 fiasco shook the company to its core, but like the best in the business, Samsung, too, has learned from its mistakes and bounced back.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 has hit the shelves and is already being lauded as one of the best Note-series phones ever. Sadly, despite its undeniable brilliant, even Note 10 is bound to run into some issues, sooner or later. If simply restarting the device doesn’t fix an issue, a comprehensive factory reset may be in order.

Factory resetting is a time consuming, enormous process, so, make sure you follow the simple steps below before resetting.
