If you're the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S20, you'll know its flagship specs and design don't come cheap. You've probably already invested in one of the best Galaxy S20 cases, and possibly a screen protector too. But wait — do you know how to turn off your Samsung Galaxy S20? It might sound obvious, but it's actually not all that simple. Samsung's latest phones tend to hide their power options behind the Bixby button, which can make it tricky to power down your phone unless you know how. We'll show you how to turn off your Galaxy S20, and avoid summoning Bixby from beyond the grave every time you do so.
On your Galaxy S20, the power button is the side key — but a long-press of it brings up Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant, by default. So, how do you turn off your phone without launching Bixby? There are actually three ways to do this:
A quick and easy way to turn your phone off is to use the notification tray.
Step 1: Swipe down from the top of your phone’s screen to open the notification tray.
Step 2: You should see a power button icon in the top right.
Step 3: Tap that icon to bring up your power menu.
The second way to turn off your phone is also quick and easy. Just hold down the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously to open the Power Menu, then select Power Off.
The third and final way to power off your phone — and the way we would recommend — involves remapping your side key function so it doesn’t automatically trigger Bixby. This makes it easier for you to turn your phone off in the future.
Step 4: Here you can select what a long-press (press and hold) of the side key does, so select Power Off Menu.
From now on, whenever you long-press the side key, you’ll see the Power Off menu, and can select Power Off to turn off your phone. Note that remapping the side key will disable Bixby, something to bear in mind if you use Samsung’s voice assistant.
It's definitely worth taking the time to remap your phone's Bixby key, particularly if you never use Samsung's voice assistant, but for a quick fix, the other two methods work a treat.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
