The two button approach
Simply press and hold both the power and volume down keys and this will launch Samsung’s power-off software screen.
You can select ‘Power off’, ‘Restart’, or ‘Emergency mode’ - the last of which an option to ultra conserve battery life for as long as possible when in an emergency situation.

What about a crash or freeze?
Sometimes products go wrong, and while we’ve found the Galaxy S22 series to be pretty stable, certain apps may cause a crash or freeze that will require intervention.
In this situation the solution is similar: press and hold the power button and volume down keys, but continue to do so for 10 seconds. You should feel a vibration, after which the device will restart and fix your crash woes (well, hopefully).
