A completely frozen Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone can be alarming, but a force restart almost always solves it — and it does not erase your data.
Universal Method (Works on Most Models)

If that does not work, try:
Power button + Volume Down held simultaneously for 10 seconds. This is the standard Android force-restart combination used on Redmi Note, POCO F-series, and Xiaomi 13/14/15 series.
Model-Specific Tips
| Model Series | Force Restart Method |
|---|---|
| Xiaomi 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 | Hold Power 10–15 s |
| Redmi Note 12 / 13 / 14 | Hold Power 10–15 s |
| POCO F5 / F6 / F7 | Hold Power + Vol Down 10 s |

After the Restart

- If it stays black: try charging for 15 minutes first — a completely drained battery can mimic a freeze.
