Samsung Galaxy A50 - Restart Device

Here's how to restart your Galaxy A50 if it crashes and resets, freezes or runs slowly.
Restarting your Galaxy A50 can help if you experience continuous resetting / rebooting, crashing, freezing or if the touchscreen is unresponsive.
  • Since this device has a non-removable battery, the restart (soft reset) process can be used to simulate a 'battery pull' when the device is unresponsive, frozen or doesn't power on.
  • In rare cases, a restart could affect data (e.g., backup in progress, cached data, etc.).

Preferred Method

  1. Press and hold the
    Power / Side
     and
    Volume down button
     (right edge) until the 'Power off' prompt appears then release.
    If the device is unresponsive, attempt the alternate method.
    Power off menu
  2. Tap
    Restart
    .
  3. To confirm, tap
    Restart

    If your device won't power back on, partially charge the device then retry.

Alternate Method

  1. Simultaneously press and hold the
    Power / Side
     and
