There has been some misinterpretations and misinformation re the A50 being IP-rated & is water resistant.
Can someone please tell me if the A50 is actually IP-rated or is splash resistant?

    Guys,
    I have accidentally broken the screen and back panel of my new Samsung Galaxy A50.
    Can anyone suggest what will be the replacement cost of same in Mumbai.
    I really don't want to kill my phone and want it to relive.

    Regards,
    Swap

                  The Galaxy A50 is the best budget phone 2019: solid camera, in-screen fingerprint reader, headphone jack and long-lasting battery, all that at a very affordable price.

                    Normal usage doesn't have it heat up. Also, Huawei P30 Lite and Xiaomi K20 series have the same 42°C records on notebookcheck if you wanna go there.

                    Camera performance is satisfactory enough except for details on a "25" MP camera.

                    Even after playing a battery-draining game (Minecraft. Doubles the drain) for almost 3 hours I got around 9 hours of screen-time. This really is something that would come from a bad battery life (!).

                    Speakers are really low on bass though. I find the speaker quality not good enough as well but from what I have seen, other mid-rangers (mi 9 or F1 kinda ones aint midrangers) suffer from this too.

                      The Exynos SoC runs very hot and rather than allow thermal throttling Samsung engineered it so the outside of the phone will heat up instead. A50 has some of the hottest recorded surface temperatures of any recent device recorded at over 42C by notebookcheck.

                      The lack of power/thermal efficiency is why the battery life on this 4000maH battery is similar to other phones with only 3000mAh battery and a more power efficient Snapdragon SoC in the same range like 665, 670, 730, etc.

                      Samsung cheaped out on the speaker audio quality and antennas while artificially limiting LTE speeds as well, so it can have decreased signal on WiFi and mobile data.

                      Camera quality is low despite having 3 sensors on the back. Additional options like Wide angle is great but not if the image quality is going to be even lower than the regular pictures which are poor as well.

                      I went with Pixel 3a despite it costing about $150 more as it does not suffer from these issues and will have monthly software updates guaranteed until Android 12.

It's not working it's getting hot the screen keeps on blinking when I try to enter the pin after one or two key pressed it's off and again in few seconds it's on. If somehow I manage to unlock when I try to open any app after I click it open after a minute. The worst part is during this condition if someone calls it rings for the caller but for me (receiver) I'm unable to see or hear the phone ringing.

                                      I Have the newest A50S also Redmi note 7 Pro

                                      in my oppinion :
                                      Samsung 48mp (A50S samsung ISOCELL) Camera not that good, Redmi note 7 pro night mode have much much much better result.

                                      Samsung A50S Battery Drain very fast compare to redmi note 7 pro. I think this is number 1 A50S weakness, battery like a shit.

                                      Samsung One UI Ecosystem sometimes a bit laggy, MIUI ecosystem is much faster in any circumstances.

                                      What i like from samsung A50S
                                      It have Earphone.
                                      It have Original Fast Charger.
                                      It have NFC.
                                      Samsung No ads, while redmi have alot of ads.
                                      Samsung had a better keyboard than Redmi.
                                      One UI is very simple compare to MIUI.
                                      not much garbage app.
