Samsung Galaxy A53 5G UW - Restart Device

Here's how to restart your Galaxy A53 5G UW if it crashes and resets, freezes or runs slowly.
Restarting your Galaxy A53 5G UW 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

If the Power / Side button is set to Bixby and you'd like to adjust settings to display the Power menu, refer to  Enable / Disable Bixby Button.
  1. Press and hold the
    Power / Side 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
    .
    Allow up to 30 seconds for the reset to complete.

Alternate Method

  1. Simultaneously press and hold the
    Power / Side button
     and
    Volume down button
     (right edge) until the screen goes dark (approximately 15 seconds) then release.
