Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Back Cover

Start by switching off your phone.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the back cover to soften the adhesive.
The adhesive of the Samsung Galaxy A50 is very strong. A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used if you aren’t able to open the device with the iOpener. Be careful not to overheat the phone—the AMOLED display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

Step 2

Insert an opening pick at the bottom of your phone near the USB-C port.
If you can’t get between the back cover and midframe with your opening pick, you can use a suction handle or strong tape to pull up the back cover to create a gap.
Slide the opening pick to the bottom left corner.

Thank you for this write up, I wanted to insure there were no connections and overall it’s just something I practice to make sure to double check rather a back cover has any hidden surprises, Trust me I’ve learned from experience not to Assume anything, lol. Take care, and thanks
