The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ have turned out to be the most popular Android smartphones launched this year. The bezel-less design and the excellent 12MP shooter at the rear of the handset has probably lead to hoards of iPhone users to switch to the handset as well.

So, if you are new to the Android world, there’s one thing you need to know: you should restart your Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ on a regular basis. Restarting your Galaxy S8 periodically will also ensure that it runs smoothly and does not run into any issues. So here are the steps to restart the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.

Step 1: Long Press the Power button 

Long press the power button located on the right side of your Galaxy S8 to bring up the power menu.

Step 2: Select ‘Restart’

From the power menu, select the ‘Restart’ option to reboot your Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+.

Ideally, you should restart your Galaxy S8 once every 3-4 days to ensure optimum performance. A restart is also the best solution if your Galaxy S8 starts running slowly suddenly for no particular reason at all.
