========================================
So today, while I was using the phone, the screen turned black and now is stuck on the black screen. The phone is still on because I still feel the vibrations if I swipe back, and the green LED lights up when I double tap the screen to access the face recognition. However, the screen remains black no matter what.

I need to find a way to force restart the phone using hardware keys. The only option I found online was to hold press the power button until it shows me an option to restart. I have set up the settings so that the "hold press" of the power button activates google assistant, which is what happens when I do it.

What other options do I have now???

Thanks
