Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Infinix Hot 20 Play?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Infinix Hot 20 Play to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Infinix Hot 20 Play remove the SIM lock or carrier lock?
No. A hard or factory reset only clears data and settings — it doesn't remove a carrier/SIM lock, which is tied to the device's IMEI at the network level. You'd need to contact your carrier for an unlock.
How long does a factory reset take on the Infinix Hot 20 Play?
Typically a few minutes, though it can take longer on older or heavily used devices as more stored data has to be wiped.
Will I need my Google account password after resetting the Infinix Hot 20 Play?
Yes, if Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is enabled. Android (and HarmonyOS 2.x devices with Google services) will ask for the last signed-in Google account after a reset — make sure you know that password first.
How do I reset my Infinix Hot 20 Play?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Infinix Hot 20 Play is frozen or won't respond, or the Factory Reset method if the screen still works normally — both are covered step by step on this page.
How do I format my Infinix Hot 20 Play?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Infinix Hot 20 Play — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
Does my Infinix Hot 20 Play have a hard reset button?
Not a single dedicated button — the Infinix Hot 20 Play uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.
