factory resetting a samsung phone before selling it
Selling my old Galaxy and want it fully wiped. Is the reset in settings enough, and do I need to remove my Samsung and Google accounts first so the buyer doesn't get locked out?

back up first with Smart Switch or Samsung Cloud, then sign out of your Samsung account and your Google account in Settings > Accounts. people skip that bit and the buyer gets a phone that asks for your password after the reset, which is how you end up with an angry message a week later.
unpair your watch or earbuds, take the SIM and memory card out, then Settings > General management > Reset > Factory data reset.
