Samsung A52 build quality issues.

[DannelleAbajar]

I just saw a little gap on the top part of my phone between the plastic frame and the back plastic cover and I could fit my nail on it, plus there is a little crack on the under left side of the plastic frame near the headphone jack, doubt my Samsung A52 is still ip67 rated.

Super glue fixed it🤣.

Just use t7000 glue it may not restore the ip rating but still better than super glue, i tried that super glue also on my a52 phone last week as the back cover near the charging port lift up but i found t7000 is more suitable.

If you're concerned about your IP rating, then you should let them fix it for you in a service center. Applying a super glue will not reinstate your IP rating at all as you'll be needing the adhesive that seals your device.

The adhesives are too thin. It will just easily wear off when immersed in water because it wasn't sealed properly, there is still gap.

Hey there Dannelle, 

Great DIY personality! However, using super glue to repair your smartphone may not be the best idea as you may have left gaps unfilled, plus the glue might leak into the internals and cause damage. 

We still recommend that you bring it to a Samsung Service Center near you so our experts can take care of your Galaxy device for you :)

Nope, the back cover didn't actually really open or come off, it just left a gap that can fit my fingernails, I close it but some time it will open again, this time I closed it then dab some super glue in it so it will hold the back cover and the frame together so that it won't leave a gap again, no chance the glue went in the internals because I closed it and glued it and the internal components are also covered by plastic that is also covered by the back cover.

Wished the 2021 A series already had the flat side frames which covered both the display bezels that lap on the side and the back cover just like what the A53 had.

[DannelleAbajar]

Even the Reddit A52 community complains about it, my friend had an a52s 5g and the back cover left a gap near the bottom firing speaker.

I just a new gap on the side on the volume side key, A dorco blade could fit.
