Tablet sales have gradually picked up in the last few years. Even the smartphone manufacturers are now eyeing this market and contributing with capable devices. OPPO, Realme, and Xiaomi are the latest brands that have joined this race in India with affordable and premium mid-range Android tablets.
All the brands are focusing on performance delivery with the new-generation tablets. However, the large screen size and support for external accessories such as keyboard and stylus pen have been giving tablets an edge over smartphones. This is specifically when you need a gadget for creative work.
You can easily use any third-party application on your tablet and use it as you would on any smartphone. While the user possibilities are endless, clogging the tablet’s memory could hamper the performance. Performing a factory reset in such scenarios is one of the best ways to boost performance. Most of the new generation tablets have a built-in option to perform a factory reset. We’ll speak of the steps below. These methods will also make it easy to factory reset any Android tablet without a power key. Take a look:
