il me semble que le backcover du a50 est en plastique, le chauffer trop fort risque de le deformer

Effectivement une température de 65°C environ pendant 5 minutes suffira pour ramollir le sticker située sous la plaque arrière.

Does anyone know if the A505 screen and frame are the same for all variants?

Done, finger print sensor won’t work any more, everything else is.
