Samsung Software Phone
While most of the time you do not need to reboot Samsung phones, there are some situations that require you to reboot your device for the changes to take effect. Rebooting a Samsung phone is pretty easy and there are actually two ways to reboot the device. Either you can soft restart Samsung device or you can hard reboot your device. This depends on how your device performs and if one method does not work you can try the other one.
The first way you restart Samsung tablet or phone is with the soft reboot method. This method does not require any complex steps to be followed as it is the standard method of rebooting any Samsung device.
To soft reboot your device, all you need to do is press the Power button for about two seconds and you will see the menu with the reboot option. Choose the option and your phone or tablet will restart.
If you are in a situation where your Samsung device refuses to normally reboot, you may have to use the hard/force reboot method to get around the issue and to reboot your device. Hard rebooting a Samsung device is pretty easy and the task can be done right from your phone itself.
If there is a serious issue on your device and it fails to reboot using both soft and hard reboot methods, you may have to fix the operating system of your device. Many times it happens that the OS gets infected with issues and repairing the OS becomes the only way to bring your device out of abnormality. Fortunately, using a software called ReiBoot for Android, you can repair the operating system of your device in no time.
The repair feature in the software downloads a fresh stock ROM for your device which it then installs on the device for you. Once the ROM is installed, you will find all the issues you had on the previous ROM are gone as you now have a completely new version of the OS on your device.
Step 4 Once the device info is entered, the software will start downloading a firmware for your device. Wait for it to do that. A prompt with some tips will appear on your screen. To move past it, click on the button that says Continue.
If you are having trouble restarting your device, the above guide should teach you multiple methods on how to restart a Samsung phone. We hope it helps you reboot your device and teaches you how to repair the device if it has any issues with ReiBoot for Android.
With that, you're now a pro at updating your Samsung Galaxy phone. Looking for more Samsung content? Check out our guide on customizing One UI 4's always-on display and our picks for the best cases and chargers for the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
The software updates for the Z Fold 3 and the Z Flip 3 already started on September 5 and will gradually roll out globally. The updates are also coming to the Z Fold 2, Z Flip, and the original Z Fold. The latest watch UI will be supported by the Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic, while a minor software update with only some of the features of One UI Watch 4.5 are coming to the older smartwatches.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra brings back the awesome and versatile camera system of the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but with superior software processing and computational photography smarts for an even better camera system: shots in low light are less noisy and better balanced, particularly with the main camera; videos are more stable, the zoom prowess even more epic. This is a phone that can grab super sharp and clean 10x zoom images, and even respectably decent 30x zoom images. And while the 100x shots are still not great, they have improved tremendously as well. The ultra-wide camera also offers one of the widest field-of-view around for sweeping landscape shots. Samsung's portrait mode has improved by leaps and bounds over previous years too thanks to the combination of a strong 3X telephoto lens and excellent computational photography.
Throw in Android 12 with four guaranteed years of Android updates and then another year of security updates, plus great Samsung software features like Samsung DeX and you have a do-it-all, well-rounded flagship that offers more than what any other phone has to offer. If you want the most reliable, capable, and widely available Android phone, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is still it even as the calendar turns to 2023 soon.
If you find the Galaxy S22 Ultra's $1,200 price just a tad too high, the Galaxy S22 Plus offers a lot of what made that phone great at a penny under $1,000. You won't get the S-Pen stylus, nor the 10x Periscope zoom lens, but you still have a beautiful 120Hz OLED screen, an excellent 50MP main camera with a respectable sensor size, a good 12MP ultra-wide lens that can grab sweeping landscape shots; and an excellent 3x telephoto zoom lens. In other words, this is a phone that can still capture some very top-notch images, even if it can't grab those insane zoom shots of its more Ultra sibling.
On the software front, you still get Samsung's excellent OneUI with all the bonuses that come with it including Samsung DeX; and you also get a 2022 flagship SoC (either Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Exynos 2200 depending on your region) too. The 4,500 mAh battery here, while not as large as the one in the Ultra, is still enough to power the phone all day, and it's also rated IP68 for water and dust resistance.
This category is tricky because the phone that tops this list isn't usually the best phone per se in terms of having all the most premium features. But it's the best phone for most people, the phone regular consumers should consider first because of the combination of performance, features, and value for money.
And starting at $599, the newly released Google Pixel 7 takes this category. Despite costing almost half of the typical flagship phone, there are several key flagship features in the Pixel 7, including Google's second gen silicon Tensor G2 and a flagship 50MP main camera, that when paired with Google's camera software prowess, makes for arguably the best main camera around. You also get a 6.3-inch OLED screen (slightly smaller than the Pixel 6's 6.4-inch), IP68 water resistance, and a gorgeous, unique design with some very fun colors.
Of course, there are areas of compromise to get this phone down to this price range: the display only refreshes up to 90Hz (but Google's UI optimization is so good that animations feel smoother than that anyway), there's no dedicated zoom lens, and relatively slow wired and wireless charging. But these compromises are very easy to accept for those who want a phone that looks and feels like a flagship but costs half the price.
But let's get back to that camera: the Pixel 6 brought much needed camera hardware improvements to the Pixel series, and the 7 brings back the same 50MP GN1 sensor that has better synergy with Google's Tensor-powered computational photography smarts. Whether it's day or night, expect jaw dropping images that produces lively colors, accurate white balance, and plenty of details. This is a phone that you can point and shoot and get a great shot almost every time. The ultra-wide camera is also excellent, and despite not having a zoom lens, the Pixel 7 can pull off above average looking 8x digital zoom thanks to Google's "Super Res" zoom that uses in-sensor cropping and computational photography trickery.
All that and we haven't even talked about another major Pixel selling point: this is a pure Google phone, so you can expect to get exclusive Android-Pixel features and the fastest software updates too. And with Android 12 getting one of the biggest visual overhauls in years, now is the best time to have first dibs on all things Android 12. Simply put, the Pixel 7 is the best overall value on this list and the best phone for most people.
The Google Pixel 6a brings many of the strengths of the Pixel 6 (and even the Pixel 7), including the unique back design, Google's own silicon, and that useful and awesome Pixel software. But it is more affordable than those other phones.
Up until this point, I would argue most of the above "shortcomings" don't matter much unless you happen to drop your phone often or like to take your phone into the swimming pool. Otherwise, for most casual consumers, the difference between 60Hz and 90Hz isn't a dealbreaker, IP57 is more than enough protection against rain and accidental dunks in toilets, and 6GB RAM is fine.
If you're in the market for a phone and you really do not want to pay more than $400, the Pixel 6a is probably the best choice. If you're not hampered by that budget? Then sure, the Pixel 7, or any other phone listed earlier, are more capable devices.
Every Android flagship offers a 120Hz refresh rate these days, but OxygenOS' (and ColorOS') animations just zip around noticeably faster and smoother than, say, Samsung's OneUI, which sees dropped frames from time to time. Google's Pixel UI has pretty smooth animations, and a case can be made for that software taking this spot, but OxygenOS is just a bit more customizable, with a better Always-On Display and more useful shortcut gestures.
The OnePlus 10 Pro itself is a fine phone too, running on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, with a visually striking design that sees the camera module spill over the sides and blend into the chassis, and a very good "Hasselblad" camera system headlined by a 48MP, f/1.8, 1/1.43" main camera plus a 50MP ultra-wide shooter and an 8MP 3.3x telephoto zoom lens. Photos captured by the OnePlus 10 Pro are vibrant with punchy colors and excellent dynamic range. If we must nitpick, it's in the ultra-wide sensor, the image sensor is smaller than last year's OnePlus 9 Pro, so you get ultra-wide shots that are actually softer on details. 2ff7e9595c
