How To Reset A Xiaomi

Reset A Xiaomi : The first thing you should keep in mind is the difference between formatting and resetting.

In the field of computers and other devices (not smartphones), the concepts of formatting and resetting are different. But when it comes to smartphones, formatting and resetting is the same.

To explain it in a quick way, we will say resetting an electronic device (not smartphones) is like restarting or resetting the preset parameters while formatting is deleting everything, therefore, the formatting is much more drastic and radical.

That is, with formatting, the device stays the same as when you received your equipment from the factory.

But this premise does not happen with mobiles, since in this case, resetting and formatting is the same.

Why Does This Happen?

Very easy, because in the world of mobiles, we have an option that is known as hard reset, which is like formatting, that is, it deletes everything and leaves the mobile from the factory. Therefore, when talking about resetting a mobile, it is the same as its formatting.

When Is It Advisable To Format A Xiaomi?

• When we want to reset all settings to factory defaults on a Xiaomi phone.
• When we want to quickly delete all the content that is stored (applications, music, photos, videos and other user data from the Xiaomi mobile phone)
• If we notice that the mobile does not work properly, it is extremely slow, has coverage problems, etc.

If you are facing one of the situations that we have described in the previous contribution, you should try to carry out a factory data reset on mobile to solve these problems.

However, it is very important to carry out a Backup first.

You must think that when the reset of the Xiaomi is carried out, all the data that was on the device will be erased.
