Welcome. In front of me is an Infinix
0:04
Note 60 and today I will show you how
0:07
you can hard reset this phone through
0:09
settings.
0:16
So,
0:18
uh to get started, I do want to quickly
0:20
talk about uh some important things like
0:23
backing up your device. As resetting
0:25
your phone does delete basically all of
0:27
the data from your device. So, if you
0:28
have anything like photos, contacts,
0:31
videos, applications, or anything along
0:33
those lines that you would like to
0:34
preserve, you should make a copy of it.
0:36
Now, I will show you a couple ways that
0:38
you can do this. Um, at least one way
0:40
that I'm going to show you and one that
0:41
I'm going to talk about because as far
0:44
as I'm aware, NFX doesn't have its own
0:46
way to to do the second option. I'm
0:48
going to quickly check though. Oh, no.
0:50
They actually do. Mobile cloner. Okay.
0:52
So, I'm going to show you both. I'm not
0:55
going to actually be backing up the
0:56
devices. that will take a little bit too
0:58
long. But I'll be showing you how we can
1:00
go about them and the benefits and
1:01
drawbacks. So, let's start off with the
1:03
most common one, the one that is
1:04
probably going to be the easiest and uh
1:07
also the worst one, which is Google
1:09
backup. We can open up settings and
1:10
scroll all the way down to system and in
1:12
system find backup uh to Google Drive.
1:17
And
1:19
you can see right here we have photos,
1:21
videos, and other device data. and it
1:23
tells me that they are both being backed
1:25
up which can define this by this check
1:27
mark. If you have the green check mark
1:29
that means that your data has been
1:30
backed up and it is being proactively
1:32
backed up. Now uh we can actually click
1:35
on these and for instance for Google
1:38
photos you can see it space right here
1:40
15 GB in total. 15 GB is the amount of
1:45
storage you get for free from Google
1:47
with your Google account. That's also
1:50
where your photos and videos will go to.
1:52
And if your photos and videos library
1:54
exceeds 15 gigabytes, the rest of the
1:56
thing that goes over that 15 gigabytes
1:58
gets left behind. So, as a backup of
2:02
photos and videos, it's pretty bad
2:03
because let's be honest, you probably
2:05
might have more than 15 GB of photos and
2:07
videos, especially when you have videos
2:09
in 4K 60 frames or even 8K. So, it's
2:14
absolutely useless in this case, which
2:16
means that you potentially need to do a
2:18
backup of photos and videos manually.
2:20
But you can, for instance, just grab a
2:22
cable, plug it in, and move to your
2:23
computer quite easily as there's a DCIM
2:26
folder in in the actual when you open up
2:30
the folder on your computer, and you can
2:32
just grab that entire thing that is
2:34
representative of your photos and videos
2:36
or just general media on your phone.
2:40
Now if we go back to the other device
2:42
data, what it tells us is that other
2:44
device data is things like uh our
2:47
contacts, call history, device settings,
2:49
apps, updata, SMS, and MMS messages. Now
2:53
I am here to tell you that this is just
2:55
loadout Um number one, calling
2:58
this a backup is blatant lie. It's not
3:02
backing up half of this data actually.
3:04
uh the things that is bucking up is the
3:06
things that you produce as a unique data
3:10
and that Google can monetize by
3:12
basically making some ad profiles and
3:14
selling this information. So your
3:16
contacts, call history and u SMS
3:21
messages, anything that can be fed to
3:22
the uh the corporate bullshittery to
3:26
feed to their AI algorithms and also
3:29
advertisements is what they're going to
3:31
take and back back up. Um now things
3:34
that would actually matter to you maybe
3:37
applications or updata if you don't know
3:39
updata is responsible for for instance
3:41
information such as let's say you have
3:44
Netflix and Netflix is signed in with
3:46
your account when you open it up usually
3:49
you don't need to resign in that's up
3:51
data that is keeping that information
3:55
that data isn't being backed up ever
3:58
u so uh other things like applications
4:01
uh if they came from outside of Play
4:03
Store. They don't exist to Google.
4:06
Google treats them as an unwanted child.
4:10
If you didn't get it from Play Store,
4:12
you didn't get it at all. So, they will
4:15
just completely ignore it when back
4:17
backing up this data. Uh, and
4:19
applications that did come from Play
4:20
Store, uh, well, they're not any better
4:22
either because Google Backup doesn't
4:25
actually back them up. What it does is
4:27
the equivalent of giving itself a little
4:29
sticky note with the names of
4:30
applications that you used to have on
4:32
the device that Google when restoring
4:34
will need to redownload from play store.
4:36
Now you may wonder what happens if the
4:40
application no longer exists on play
4:42
store and that would be the right thing
4:44
to wonder because if an application no
4:46
longer exists on play store it sure
4:47
ain't getting downloaded from there such
4:50
as Yuzu. Nintendo made sure that the any
4:52
kind of uh shred of uh of this
4:55
information has been scrubbed. They
4:57
literally scoured the uh multiverse to
5:01
to find every possible user emulator
5:04
that was available and made sure that
5:06
it's Gonzo, right? You can still
5:08
probably find it somewhere on the
5:09
internet, but it's no longer on Play
5:11
Store. Um so
5:15
you might have downloaded it from Play
5:17
Store when it was there for a brief
5:18
time, but it no longer is there. And
5:20
even though you backed it up by Google's
5:22
terms, uh, yeah, you're not restoring
5:24
that because that backup is worth
5:26
Um, so just be aware of it. Now, better
5:31
way to back up your device because I
5:33
kind of spend time explaining how to not
5:36
do it in a way is going to be
5:40
this right here, mobile cloner. Now,
5:42
this is something that can use
5:45
if you're migrating your data to another
5:49
device that would also be an Infinix.
5:52
Now, if you are if you have a old phone
5:56
that is not an Infinex or maybe you're
5:58
moving to a new phone that also isn't an
6:00
Infinex, you would need to most likely
6:02
use a different application. You use the
6:05
application of the company like Infinex.
6:07
uh mobile cloner is Infinex's
6:10
application and they do this or create
6:12
this application to help you move data
6:14
to their devices and between their
6:16
phones and any other times you will need
6:19
to use basically the application of the
6:22
phone you are moving right now the data
6:24
too.
6:26
So, as a example, if I'm resetting this
6:28
device and I'm moving I either I have an
6:32
old Samsung that I have lying around or
6:34
I'm moving to this one. What I could do
6:35
is download smart switch, which is
6:38
Samsung's application for this. And it
6:40
looks almost exactly the same. The
6:42
purpose is exactly the same. So,
6:44
download smart switch on this phone. I
6:47
would launch it on this one and on this
6:48
one and connect these two phones
6:50
together. I would select that this is an
6:51
old device. This is the new one. uh old
6:53
and new basically uh defines uh if
6:56
you're sending or receiving data. Old
6:59
means that you're sending, new means
7:00
that you're receiving the data. Uh and
7:03
technically you can use this both ways.
7:04
So I could reset this and this is my old
7:07
phone. I can move the data to it, right?
7:09
Using smart switch. And if I reset this
7:12
phone, I can then move back the data to
7:14
this phone. But I would need to download
7:15
now on Samsung mobile cloner because
7:18
again I'm now moving again the data back
7:21
to So I need to use the application of
7:23
the phone I'm moving the data to.
7:26
And this one will be the best. It this
7:28
process creates a connection between
7:30
these two phones uh through a hotspot
7:33
and then allows me to move over every
7:35
shred of data regardless where it
7:37
originated from and regardless how much
7:39
of it is. As long as the amount of data
7:42
that I'm trying to move doesn't exceed
7:43
the phone's capability,
7:46
uh I I'm fine. And it is going to be
7:49
much better way to go about this. It
7:51
seems a little bit convoluted
7:52
considering you might need to use two
7:53
different applications for this if you
7:54
want to move data from and back to it.
7:57
Uh but believe me, uh this is a small
7:59
price to pay for a much better process
8:02
than what you get with Google.
8:05
Now, with that out of the way, let's get
8:07
into the actual resetting. I wasted
8:09
already 8 minutes of your time, so let's
8:11
open up settings and just get quickly to
8:13
this. We're going to go into system
8:15
again, and this time around, we're going
8:16
to select reset phone. And here you want
8:19
to choose erase all data.
8:22
Give it a moment. It will load loaded
8:24
the data that will be removed which
8:26
includes things like your Google
8:27
accounts that are signed in on the
8:28
device. They will be removed from the
8:30
phone. Not generally just from the
8:32
phone. Uh you have things like your
8:34
system app data and settings, downloaded
8:36
apps, music, photos, and basically all
8:38
user data. Obviously, this doesn't
8:40
really matter as our device should have
8:41
been backed up by now. That's what I
8:43
wasted 8 minutes of your life for. So,
8:45
we're going to click on erase all data.
8:47
And if you have some kind of screen
8:48
lock, which I do, you will need to
8:50
confirm it right here.
8:52
Once you do so, click on a check mark.
8:55
It gets you this pop-up. Erase all data
8:57
permanently. All of your personal
8:58
information, including downloaded apps
9:00
and uh SIMs will be deleted. You cannot
9:04
undo this action again. Our data should
9:06
have been backed up. So, erase all data.
9:09
Give it a moment and it will begin
9:11
factory resetting itself. Now, this
9:13
process will take about 1 to two minutes
9:15
to finish up. And when it's finished, we
9:17
will be presented with Android setup
9:19
screen. So I'll be back once that is
9:21
visible for me.
10:59
And as you can see, the process is now
11:02
finished and you can set up your device
11:03
however you like. So if you found this

11:12
I'm also not sure why the SIM card
11:13
showed up. It should have been popped
11:14
out. just
11:19
Oh, there we go.
11:24
Okay.
