First solution: Force reboot your phone first What is this? Press and hold the Volume Down button and don't release it. While holding the volume button down, press and hold the power key as well. Now, keep both keys held down together for 15 seconds or until the Galaxy A50 logo shows up.

Despite being one of the best terminals released lately, Samsung Galaxy A50 does not have a glass surface on the back. Unfortunately, it cannot be charged with a wireless charger due to its design and structure.

We've already covered the excellent Samsung Galaxy A70, but that's not the only low-cost handset the South Korean giant is releasing this year. We also have the Galaxy A50, which is a very close match to the A70 but sits a little lower in the company's portfolio. The burning question is which should you go for – and is the A50 as strong a rival for the all-conquering Google Pixel 3a? We're about to find out.Samsung A50 Review: DesignThanks to Mobilefun.co.uk for supplying the Samsung Galaxy A50 used in this review.
