How to Reset Samsung Galaxy Without Deleting Data or Factory Reset

Guide on Resetting your Samsung Galaxy Android Devices Without losing your personal data.

If your Samsung Galaxy Android phone isn’t operating properly and you’re considering resetting it, you should be aware that there are two options.

You can either execute a normal reset, which will not destroy any data you have saved on the device, or a hard/factory reset, which will remove any data you have saved and return the device to its original state. If you’re planning to give the Samsung Galaxy Android Device to someone else, a factory reset is a must-do option.

If you want to perform a hard reset on your Samsung device, see this page: Samsung Hard Reset.
