Pre-requisites

While resetting an Android phone, you need to go through some most required prerequisites.

Create a backup of your data

• Backup creation is the most significant thing you need to consider before resetting your Android phone.
• No one can endure losing all his data, and because the Android phone reset process takes away all your data to restart your phone initially, its important to backup your data.
• So before going on, take a complete backup of your data, including your contacts, videos, pictures, and all other things.

Unlink all the Google Accounts

• You must be thinking why unlinking or deleting Google accounts is mandated before resetting an Android phone, right?
• Yeah, it’s real, and you can also lose access to your phone if you aren’t careful with this prerequisite.
• Don’t get agitated, and just unlink all your Google accounts from your phone before resetting it.
• Primarily, Google secures your smartphone by checking your identity after resetting the phone.
• It’s not that tough if you remember your Google account ID and Password, but if you’re unaware, you must unlink your Google account before resetting your Android phone.

Charge your smartphone

• Lastly, Charging the phone is also equally significant as the above prerequisites.
• You won’t ever want to make your phone bricked, but you will unintentionally do that if your phone automatically gets switched off during the resetting process.

Hence, it would be best to charge your phone at least 40% before initializing the process to Reset Android phone.
