How to reboot your OnePlus 8 in case it’s not responding?

Sometimes, your mobile performs slow while playing a game or doing some heavy task on OnePlus 8. You can not continue the current task on your phone. At that time, you will need to proceed with restarting your OnePlus 8 using physical buttons.

Suppose you want to do a force shutdown of your OnePlus 8; press and hold the power button for at least 8 to 10 seconds until you see Android Logo or OnePlus logo appearing on your display. Now release the button to let it start again.

Sometimes, your device is not responding even with physical buttons. You can not even force reboot your OnePlus 8. It’s possible that your smartphone has a low battery. The only solution in that scenario is to connect your charging cable and try again.
