How to Hard Reset Infinix Phone

If you are an Infinix user, you might have experienced issues with your phone, such as slow performance, frequent crashes, malware infection, forgotten passwords, or system errors.

A hard reset is a process that restores your phone to its factory default settings and deletes all your data and settings. It can help you solve many problems and make your phone run faster and smoother. However, a hard reset can also be risky and complicated if you don’t know how to do it properly.

In this article, I will show you how to hard reset Infinix phone in two ways, boot your phone into recovery mode and answer some questions about hard-resetting Infinix phones.

Let’s get started!

What to Do Before Factory Reset on Infinix

Before you factory reset your Infinix phone, there are some things that you need to do to prepare your phone and protect your data. Here are some tips that you need to follow:

• Backup your data. The reset will delete all your data and settings from your phone, so you need to back up your important and valuable data before doing it. You can backup your data to your computer, external storage device, cloud service, or Google account. 
• Remove your Google account. A factory reset will also remove your Google account from your phone, so you need to remove it before doing it. After the reset, this will prevent you from facing the Google account verification or FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock. Go to Settings and log out of your account.
• Remove your SIM card and SD card. Factory reset will also erase the data on your SIM card and SD card, so you must remove them before doing so. This will prevent losing your contacts, messages, photos, videos, music, or documents stored on your SIM card or SD card.
