The Samsung Galaxy A50, Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ are no longer listed on Samsung’s website about the software update schedule for Galaxy devices. For some reason, the Galaxy S10 5G phones, which also launched in February 2019 alongside other Galaxy S10 series devices, are still listed and will continue to get software updates. (Samsung S10 is equipped with Snapdragon 855 4G chip, S10 5G mobile is Snapdragon 855+X50 5G chip, A50 uses Exynos 9610 chip)

The Samsung Galaxy A50 launched with Android 9 and received two major Android OS updates: Android 10 and Android 11. The Samsung Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ debuted with Android 9, and the devices got three major Android OS updates: Android 10, Android 11, and Android 12.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S10 Lite phone with Android 10 in early 2020, and it got Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13. The machine recently pushed the One UI 5.1 update with more new features and will continue to receive security updates for at least a year.

Other content creators with large cell phone collections have also found that Samsung is more prone to bulging batteries than other brands of phones. According to Mrwhosetheboss, Samsung checked some Galaxy phones with bulging batteries – and the batteries didn’t explode; they just expanded, damaging the devices in the process.

In response, Samsung confirmed to foreign technology media The Verge that it was aware of the matter. According to comments made by Samsung spokesman Chris Langlois to The Verge, the South Korean company is looking into “further technical evaluation”. We encourage customers who have questions about Samsung devices to contact their local customer service representatives,” he said.

The battery bulge itself is not dangerous,” said Arthur Shi, senior technical editor at iFixit. You may not be able to use your phone, and you should never try to charge it once you see it swell. But batteries don’t catch fire or explode. Swelling is a safety feature that device manufacturers built into batteries to prevent accidental fires.
