The most effective ways to power off a Samsung phone without using the touchscreen are by using physical button combinations, voice assistants like Bixby, or battery removal when possible.
1. Using Physical Buttons
For most modern Samsung devices, you can use button combinations to force power off or restart the device:
Force shutdown: Press and hold the Power (Side) button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for 10–20 seconds until the device vibrates or displays the Samsung logo
If the phone is charging, pressing Power and Volume Down for 5 seconds may also turn it off
On some newer phones, press and hold the Side button and Volume Down until the power menu appears, then use the buttons to navigate (if the screen is partially visible) to the Power Off option
2. Voice Assistant (Bixby)
If your Samsung phone has Bixby or Google Assistant set up:
Activate Bixby by holding the Side/Power button for ~2 seconds.
Say "Turn off my device," and the phone will shut down, though you may need to unlock the device first with fingerprint or face recognition
3. Recovery Mode
For advanced users:
Connect your phone to a computer via USB.
Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until the screen goes blank. Then release Volume Down and hold Volume Up.
In recovery mode, use Volume buttons to navigate to Power Off and Power button to select
