If you’re a Samsung Galaxy A52 or A52 5G user, you’ve probably noticed that powering off your phone isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. By default, long-pressing the power button launches Bixby rather than giving you the power menu. This can be frustrating when all you want to do is turn off your device. In this guide, we’ll go through the methods to turn off your Galaxy A52 and A52 5G easily.
1. Turning Off Using the Software Menu
The simplest way to turn off your Galaxy A52 or A52 5G is by using the software menu. Here’s how you can do it:
- Swipe Down Twice: Start by swiping down from the top of your screen to bring down the notification and quick settings panel. Swipe down once to see some options, then swipe down again to reveal the full range of options.
- Locate the Power Symbol: In the top right corner, you’ll see a circular power icon. Tap on it, and it will bring up the power menu with the option to power off, restart, or enter emergency mode.
- Confirm Power Off: Tap on “Power off,” and confirm by tapping it once more. Your Galaxy A52 or A52 5G will now power down.
Using this method is pretty easy once you know it, but it might take a few extra steps compared to older models where a single press of the power button would do the trick.
2. Turning Off with the Power and Volume Down Buttons
For a more familiar option, you can use a combination of hardware buttons to access the power menu. This approach might be especially useful if you’re in a hurry or prefer not to swipe around the screen.
- Press and Hold the Power and Volume Down Buttons: Locate the power button on the side of your phone, along with the volume down button. Press and hold both buttons at the same time.
- Wait for the Power Menu: Keep holding until the power menu appears on the screen. From there, select “Power off.”
- Confirm Power Off: Just like in the software method, you’ll need to tap “Power off” again to complete the process.

This method works well and feels quite intuitive for users who are accustomed to using physical buttons to power down their devices.
3. Setting Up the Power Button for Easy Access
If you’d like to skip Bixby altogether and make the power button bring up the power menu as it used to, Samsung lets you reconfigure it. Here’s how to set up the power button to function as a traditional power button:
- Open Settings: Swipe down from the top of your screen to access quick settings and tap on the gear icon for “Settings.”
- Go to Advanced Features: Scroll down in the Settings menu until you find “Advanced features.” Tap on it to open.
- Select Side Key: Under Advanced Features, select “Side key.” Here, you’ll see options for what happens when you press and hold the power button.
- Choose Power Off Menu: Change the press-and-hold action from “Wake Bixby” to “Power off menu.” Now, the power button will directly take you to the power menu when pressed and held.
Enjoy a More Convenient Power-Off Experience
By following these steps, you can enjoy a more straightforward and convenient way to power down your Galaxy A52 or A52 5G. You don’t have to settle for Bixby’s default settings, so feel free to configure the power button to meet your preferences. This little adjustment makes managing your device much easier and brings a familiar feel to turning off your phone.
