Hard Reset - advantages and disadvantages Xiaomi Redmi?
In simple words, Hard Reset means hard resetting the phone. As a result, the system automatically returns to the factory settings and the system is completely cleared. Contacts, correspondence, application, files, search queries, passwords - all of this is deleted from the device's memory.
Benefits of Hard Reset:
The ability to get a completely clean phone from user settings and data. Removing viruses that have entered your phone. Solving various problems that arose on the device after installing some applications and did not disappear after uninstalling them.
Disadvantages of Hard Reset:

What needs to be done before the Hard Reset operation.
If you want to do a hard reset on your phone, then make sure you know the login / password for your google account. You can sign out of your google account before resetting. In this case, after performing a factory reset, you can immediately use your device. In case you have already done a factory reset and cannot remember the login and password for logging into your Google account, for most models there are instructions for bypassing protection (FRP). You will need to contact the official service center to bypass the FRP protection on some new phone models.
After performing a hard reset, your device will be completely wiped clean. Everything that was in the memory of your device will be deleted.
