At the top of the screen, you should see a bar with various numbers, the time, your phone’s charge level, etc.
Put your finger on the bar and drag it down the screen.

Tap Power icon once. Then tap power off to confirm.
After that, your smartphone will turn off.

You can also turn your Galaxy XCover pro off using the side keys.

On the right side of the device, there are two buttons, the Volume button, and the Power button, otherwise known as the Power key.

To turn your phone off, press the power button and the volume down key simultaneously.
A menu will appear on the screen.
There are several options in it. Flight mode, Silent mode, etc. You need to tap on the power off icon.
Tap power off twice to confirm your choice, and your phone will shut down.

Restarting the XCover Pro is just as easy.

The restart phone feature can come in handy if you experienced some kind of issue.

However, this time you’re going to need to pick the Restart icon.
Tap twice to proceed.
Your phone will shut off and then turn back on again right away.

After that, tap on the Side key option.
Now you can reassign the function of the key.
Tap Power off menu option.
From then on, you can press the power button to switch the phone off.

Alternative way

There is also another method which is called force shutdown or the hard reset. I only recommend you resort to this method in case of a serious issue or if the touch screen is off.

After the force shutdown, all the data on your device will be deleted.

Switch your phone off following the steps mentioned above.
Press the power button and the volume up button at the same time.
