If you want to learn more about this dedicated operation and most important if you want to learn how to hard reset or factory reset your own Samsung Galaxy S6, don’t hesitate and read the lines from this tutorial.

As pointed out during the introduction from above, the hard reset operation is also known as a factory reset – the result obtained is the same, though the terms are somehow describing two different processes. Anyway, making a hard reset basically wipes the system of your Galaxy S6, which means that everything that’s saved on the internal storage memory of your phone will not be erased.

Also as mentioned already, the hard reset operation is usually applied when software related issues are being involved. Since the internal system of your Galaxy S6 will be cleaned, the hard reset / factory reset operation can be a real life saver in term of troubleshoot solutions – you can easily address issues like boot loops, different lags and bugs, force close errors, battery drain, heating problems, total blackouts and other similar software issues.

But, since the data will be wiped out, the hard reset is also used when someone is trying to sell his Samsung Galaxy S6, just for protecting his personal data, info and accounts. Therefore, what you have to conclude: you mustn’t go any further without backing up your data, or else you will lose everything that you have saved on your SGS6.
