How to reset the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

In an ideal world, our devices should continue to perform without any issues, but this is never the case. There could be a myriad of reasons why our phones might start acting up. It could be due to a buggy app, buggy software, hardware issues, malware, and so on.

So, if you happen to find that your Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is behaving in ways that it shouldn’t, one of the ways to solve this problem is by booting it into Safe Mode. If that still doesn’t solve the problem, then it might be time to consider resetting the phone.

This is usually a last resort kind of method, but if you have no choice, or maybe you just want to reset the phone before sending it for repair or giving it away or selling it to someone else, then check out the guide below where we’ll show you a couple of different methods that you can use to reset your Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.

This is a good way to potentially eliminate any issues with your Galaxy S20 FE, but it also means you’ll lose all your data in the process, so make sure your device is backed up before proceeding.
