Launched by Samsung in July 2012, the Galaxy Beam is a powerful smartphone equipped with a variety of amazing features. Its two cameras, the 8 GB storage capacity and the dual-core 1 GHz processor are just a few examples. If you are proud to own this phone, we’re certain you’d like to keep on taking advantage of its functionality from now on. This is why today’s article will focus on the hard reset procedure for the Samsung I8530 Galaxy Beam.

You may wonder why we chose to discuss such a topic, so here are a few of our reasons. First of all, whenever you have a software issue (e.g.: fatal errors, failing apps, hangs) this process is going to solve them all instantly. Secondly, if you happen to have acquired a virus when you transferred files on to this device, the same master restore is going to erase all documents to make sure the virus is removed. On the other hand, though, given this aspect, you should make sure you don’t lose any important data by making a backup.
