It will fix the situation and the A8 2018 will receive it soon! However, the A8 2018 and the A5 2017 are the only hi mid-range models that get updated every month! even the new A9 with Snapdragon 660 does not receive every month update !!!

M E R O, 31 Mar 2019Is it possible to explain the meaning of a limited range of... more4G/LTE uses many different frequency bands. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands . Any individual country uses only a few of these. A phone sold for use in a particular country usually supports the 4G bands in current use in that country but may not work in other countries (but 3G should usually work).

If anyone said that the camera quality of A50 is better than A8, it is not true 100% because we can not notice the difference between two practically. It may be different on paper but not in our daily usage.
All the rest, A8 is still better than A50.

A8 2018 of course is old, it is the last year phone. It may look worse now but it is just a look. The A8 2018 was positioned just below the flagship S8/S9 at the time it was launched. So, the material quality is on the TOP. The A8 2018 lacks the more RAM, the secondary camera and the trendy display. The chipset...hm you wont notice it practically.
A50 is recently new and of course it has many fun features like secondary back camera, trendy display, trendy color of back casing etc. So if you need those feature, it is better to have A50. And do not forget, there will be A70 and A90 which is above A50. And I am sure you will be confused again and again.

Even when watching youtube for more than an hour and half (i.e movie), I never feel hot on my hand, just little bit warm. So far so acceptable.
Have you ever used any brands but Samsung?
Yes, I have. I am a Xiaomi lover and still using it as secondary phone. Before using my first Samsung (which is A8 2018), I always use Xiaomi as my daily drive. My mom always tell me that my Xiaomi is hot when she is chatting with the family, using mine. And I feel the same. Well, it is still touch-able but it is what I feel HOT (more than warm). I am still Xiaomi lover anyway.
I am using 2 brands in this Android world. I appreciate this Samsung for this matter.
