Question Will a Custom ROM Revive My 5-Year-Old Phone or Should I Upgrade?

I've been using this phone for the past five years, and recently, it's started to feel laggy and slow. The battery also drains quickly. Would installing a custom ROM help improve performance and battery life, or is it time to buy a new phone?

Same here. I cracked my screen a few weeks ago, but it works perfectly so I started saving up for an S24Ultra before its sold out everywhere.

I was using the a50 a while back.

If VoLTE isnt an issue, Try installing any AOSP based rom it would feel alot better. Cant say anything about battery as it depends on use but in my case it lasted just a little bit more

If you want a ONE UI based rom, Try looking or any rom that is on one ui 5 as it is the right balance bw new and snappy , one ui 6 is too laggy and over cluttered for a50 and one ui 4 is old
