Because the X28 is an Android 11 handheld, the normal reset is the standard Android factory reset under Settings → System → Reset options → Erase all data, which returns the device to a clean state. The X28 also has a hardware Reset button to force a restart if it locks up. For deeper recovery — for example if Android will not boot — you would re-flash the official firmware from a PC, which is the firmware-update procedure. Remember a factory reset wipes internal storage, so back up first.

FAQ

How do I factory-reset the X28?
Open Settings → System → Reset options → Erase all data and confirm, just like any Android device. Back up first, as this wipes internal storage.
What does the Reset button do?
The small recessed Reset button forces a restart when the device is frozen. It does not erase data; for a true factory reset use the Android menu.
