The mid price range smartphone segment in India ruled by the China-based phones but recently some competition is given by Samsung to the China phones like to Xiaomi after introducing its budget-friendly the Galaxy phones, like has now refreshed the mid ranged "A" series with a new device–"A50".
Priced at Rs 19990, the 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory variant have some interesting features.
With rounded corners, the device sports a shiny back body, which reflects the light in the rainbow pattern. The company did not specify that the material was plastic or polycarbonate,
The Samsung logo has been placed at the bottom of the 25MP + 5MP + 8MP vertical triple rear camera set-up and flash.
The camera app brings camera settings including panorama, pro, live focus, slow-mo, and hyper-lapse features as well as HDR, grid line and location tag.
Volume rockers are located right after the lock button.
On the left side, the device has a SIM slot, which opens in a tray with a SIM card simultaneously with a memory card, which allowed us to extend 64GB of internal memory to 512GB easily.
Featuring a waterdrop notch, "A50" comes with an impressive 6.4-inch FHD + Super AMOLED screen, which Samsung calls with its Infinity-U display.
The big screen shows images in vivid and punchy colors, hence watching videos and playing games on this device is a visual treat.
Within the notch lies a 25MP selfie camera that comes with a Live Focus option for selfies and offers "Bokeh" effect.
The missing notification LED on top of the phone interfered with keeping tabs on missed calls, messages, and device charging status.
Galaxy A50 has the company's latest Android 9 One user interface (UI) that brought along artsy icons and stylish animations.
At this price point, the Exynos 9610 processor worked fine. However, the phone has turned towards heat for a long time during calls and charging. The Galaxy A50 has a non-removable 4000mAh battery.
The battery lasted approximately one day on heavy-to-medium usage. The bundled USB-Charger facilitated fast charging.
The in-display fingerprint sensor in "A50" is slow and repeatedly fails to identify the registered touch. The face recognition feature took over two to three seconds to unlock the device in daylight…
Conclusion: "A50" provides near-premium experience at a mid-range price point. Since users are accustomed to unlocking snap to one-touch or a glance, so adjusting back on the drawing pattern and pinching a little bit.
