The Redmi Note 5 Pro is definitely the best budget flagship smartphone of last year. However, having all that strong hardware doesn’t mean that, it can’t get a little slow or have a few software issues from time to time. Though, if the issues started after a firmware update there’s no surety that the reset would help. Because there can be a problem with the firmware. A Factory Reset solves these problems most of the time. Whereas, if you want to perform a Factory Reset anyway, then here’s how to Factory Reset your Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Things to do before you start The Factory Reset process on your Redmi Note 5 Pro
Before we jump into the process, you must do a few things so, you don’t lose any data or get locked out of your device.
- Back up all the data in your Internal Storage. A Factory Reset wipes out the Internal Storage.
- Remember the password of your Google account from which you’re logged into the phone. You may need it to unlock your device after the reset & prove your authenticity. If you forget the password & change it somewhere else you’ll need to wait 3 days before you can log-in with your new password.
That’s all for the pre-reset process. Also, you’ll be on your current firmware after the reset so, no worries about that.
