Our mobiles are full of functions and tricks to be able to access certain functions. Although practically all the operation is carried out from the touch screen, the physical buttons still play a fundamental role. We have no doubt that one day they will disappear in the same way that the central “home” button did. Today we wanted to review the key combinations that we can carry out on Realme phones.
The physical hardware buttons are still very important to turn on our phone or turn the volume up and down . Even the easy fingerprint sensor is often placed on the side next to the power button. The future of smartphones goes through their elimination, as revealed by many patents, but for the moment they are essential.
All key combinations in Realme
On Realme phones, the combination of certain hardware keys can activate key functions . Let’s go over them in detail and see what each one is for.
Screenshots
To take screenshots, we will have to hold down the power and volume down buttons . The terminal will take a screenshot instantly.
Long screenshot
If we hold down the power buttons and turn up the volume for around two seconds, the terminal will take a long screenshot. We will have to touch on “Page Down” to move to the next page and continue touching on “Page” down until we want to stop capturing. It is a great option to capture large chunks of a web page
Force restart the phone
This feature is useful and most likely we will have to use it sometime, when the phone freezes or does not respond . To do this we hold down the power buttons and increase volume for at least 8 seconds. We will have to wait until the phone restarts to release the buttons.
Close Talkback
This Google assistance tool provides voice messages so that we can use the device without looking at the screen. Thanks to a combination of keys we can also close the application temporarily. To do this we hold down the volume up and down buttons.
Recovery mode
This mode is essential for many users, since it allows updating the system, deleting data, verifying the disk , deleting the cache … To enter we will have to press the power buttons and lower the volume, when the phone is switched off.
Force boot
With the terminal off, we will have to press the power keys and increase the volume until the phone turns on . This is a way to force its restart when it is off and there may have been previous problems.
