Samsung Galaxy A50 - User Reviews

  • Upcoming samsung 2020 smartphones is also plastic build too lmao.

  • You'd better wait for the A50s to come out. That's even better than the A50 (40 mp main camera in stead of 25 mp, and more stuff), at just a little higher price. It shouldn't take long, because in the Far East it's already out.

  • Had Samsung galaxy neo plus 5 years..promised myself to buy latest phone..😍 my Samsung A50..

  • Wait and see what the news have to offer

  • You must go for A50 ............

  • I'm planning to buy this phone on black friday. Should I go for it or wait for the new releases in 2020?

  • Bought both Sams a50 for my wife and Xiaomi RN7+ for me couple months ago, same 6/128gb version so the price isnt much different (Indonesia). Now I regret this decision bcause the Xiaomi get worse and worse and the Samsung one only get better with its constant update and fixing.

  • Take your phone to an authorised samsung repair center, they will check it for you.

  • I have a lot of problems with this product, loudspeaker automatic on and bluetooth not working

  • Ihave issue with torch light..its not working when i press the torch button..i also recieved november update but still facing this issue and still torch light not turning on...please suggest solutions.

  • To anyone who has downloaded the November update, has the battery life imprived in anyway? My battery performance significantly dropped after the October update.

  • A50 is the best midranger of the year

  • November update ???

  • I have the A30 and on comparing the image in the viewfinder to what I see with the A50, there's barely any difference at all. Anyone else feeling underwhelmed by the image quality?

  • Finally someone made a good comment on the phone. This phone got too much hate in terms of camera, software and durability.

  • I bought this phone few days a go and so far I am extremely pleased and satisfied with it! I do not have any of the commonly talked about problems of connectivity and the malfunctioning sensor. I got the November update right out of the box so maybe they fixed it all already. It's a beautiful looking phone, a great build, but the cons are the front has only GorillaGlass 3 and the back doesn't have any at all, it's plastic. So be careful with it. It's light though and the grip feels just awesome. Gaming is incredibly smooth on high settings, speaker loud, great interface and a lot of cool tricks and unique features. Cameras are good but to be honest in low light setting they underpreform and pictures look too smoothed out with lack of details. But with right light exposure, the photos come out awesome. Once again connectivity is just fine all signals maxed even above my expectations. Fingerprint sensor is fast now and if you record your fingerprint wisely it should always recognize it. I highly recommend it! The only better buys are the Chinese spying equipment, but be wise and avoid it. Xiaomi is even registered as a non-profit organization. That should tell you enough. Play safe with Samsung and enjoy this premium-like phone at a great price! Cheers! :)

  • Screen 100% Awesome Battery Good ( Fast drain on gaming but doesnt Overheat ) Gaming : Mid to High Graphics ( Heats on heavy duty game especially Ultra Wifi : 5G is super fast but needs to be on short range while 2.4G is good. ( Dont know what people complain about their wifi signal ) Camera : Seriously it's 2019 if you complain about camera sucking then you're obviously know nothing about camera. Learn Lightroom and proper angle instead of complaining how crappy a front cam is.

  • This phone is boyond great, it has so much values and samsung finally fixed midrange phones by adding good hardware power, cpu and camera and too many high end features

  • No update my phone

  • After the last update, my A50 goes smoothly, finger recognition is much better, and the camera improved even more. Very satisfied with my Samsung Galaxy A50 ..

  • Yeah, its up to 8 hours , but im playing too much games,

  • My A50 is working fine like no issues in the fingerprint scanner and if you're having issues just register your finger again and it'll work flawlessly although there's a bit delay of about a second maximum

  • Try scanning in more angles. When registering your finger, Leave the phone to the table and without thinking grab the phone and put your finger to the scanner. This will have you register rather more usable angles instead of the straight ones we use. Do the same with "resting on the table" "taking outta the pocket" and other scenerios

  • Weird... I get 8 hours with semi-heavy. Playing Cod or Minecraft from %100 to %0 has me go for 5 hours at max tho

  • Guys its a great phone, probably midrange phone of the year, great display, great multi cameras, but issues: 1. Fingerprint scanner is not good, face unlock is better 2. Battery life is good but not great, i get 4 to 5 hours on semi heavy usage.

  • I don't know why peoples are spreading false news regarding wifi or signal issues..after update..finger print scanner is fast..Camera is Good in day and night...even i have compared with iphone7 plus and picture quality is almost similar...smooth experience..display is as same as S10plus...quicker sharper UI...if you want to switch from Samsung to any other brand than i d suggest Xiaomi and if you want to switch from A50 than go for redmi Mi 9t...peace

  • Dude, you should read my previous comments. Besides, I clearly stated that "Mine" and by using that I am not generalizing that "A 50 doesn't have any wifi issue". Mine does have network issue and battery drainage problem but wifi works flawlessly. Fingerprint scanner works ok (not great though).

  • Bro, this is a 1000$ flagship feature and it's useless. 'Cuz you would need to connect the charger with electricity line.

  • Dude "Mine is working fine" is your opinion but there are people who're facing Wi-Fi issues, if yours is working fine that doesn't mean others can't have any issues. I also own the A50 & I struggle to connect mine to Wi-Fi at my workplace but I'm still happy with my phone although that wifi issue sucks big-time, I'm waiting for future updates to fix this freaking issue.

  • finger print scanner of A50 is not good. i get problem when i try to unlock with my finger. many times i re-inserted my thumb but every time i got problem. after 5 to 6 try i get one success. face scanning is little bit better but doesn't work in dark.

  • I don't have any wifi issue though. Mine wifi works flawlessly.

  • They aren't bad bro, I said only wifi takes a bit more to connect if signal is weak, like 1 bar. But mobile networks work as intended, so does the fp scanner.

  • Wait 100% coming ...update

  • november update already released (121.16 MB).

  • damn bad network/wifi are a deal breaker, becuase what's a phone without 'em i'd rather take shitty screen of the note 8 pro tbh.. i wish i could choose the a50

  • But overall it is a decent phone. It is just not as great as some people are saying.

  • If you want a real user review than I would say ** finger print scanner does improve a lot but it is still not very good or great, it is just good. It takes a second or two to unlock the screen, sometimes (not very often) it will say " No match" and sometimes you have to click power button to use finger print scanner to visible (it is kind of weird) ** it is still have network issue

  • Get ready for acrimonious comments, dude !!! You have to remember one thing, Galaxy A50 is the best of the best. It doesn't have any negative sides!! If you are facing any problems like network issue or battery draining issue or fingerprint scanner problem than you are lying and you are here only to bash this exquisite beauty..

  • i own A50 so why would i lie ? i'm just telling me experience & what i said is TRUE mobile data is OK wifi is WEAK ( weakest Wifi i have experienced ) on screen finger sensor is huge FAILURE,it's very painful to use Camera indoors performance is BAD Oled screen is amazing speakers are very average mobile network is very WEAK always on 1 bar,even the cheapest phones i have owned had almost full bars samsung operating system is GOOD but not mind blowing build quality !! well it's mostly PLASTIC therefor not too heavy which i guess is good it's a decent mid range phone but there is much better mid range phones for less money this is my honest experience if you don't like it i really don't care

  • Galaxy A-50 is good midrange phone (not to be compared with Galaxy S9/S8 flagships). It's screen is good, battery life great, performance Ok on Wi-Fi and mobile networks and speakers are loud. Camera is surely acceptable (not bad at all). Fingerprint scanner is slow but working and face unlock may supplement for good results. A-50 vs price range is good choice. Samsung Screen (good resolution) is always a better choice from it's similar range competitors.

  • besides shit wifi and fingerprint any other issues?

  • Any information of november update ???????

  • You do know that not everyone's phone will work the same? Why are you so defensive?

  • Guys after update I have problem with flashlight...anyone cant help...🙏 2weeks now

  • Don't lie, I have october update, both fingerprint scanner and mobile networks work fine, just wifi takes extra time to connect if signal is weak. And don't compare this to chinese crap.

  • i have owned mine for few months,latest October update & my answer is: wifi is WEAK mobile network is OK finger scanner is BAD the phone is OK but should be cheaper than the superior Xiaomi Redmi Note series,i can't believe this phone is actually more expensive !!! the extra $100 must be for the useless Samsung badge !!

  • i had j7 (2016) .. and i never faced this issue with that phone...

  • Are Wifi/network/fingerprint issues fixed or not yet...

  • Does it have or support HDR10/HDR10+???

  • That's normal, it is how capacitive touchscreen behave, even on waterproof phones.

  • Yup you are right,... me also facing same issue with screen.. with one water drop .......screen wont work u have to lock the phone and remove water drop from the screen and then unlock the phone... it works..

  • Best midrange phone from samsung. Not having any issues since i bought it in 24th september til now. Fingerprint is perfect! Screen is beautiful! Camera is good! Everything is with one word, PERFECT!

  • No

  • unfortunately not

  • No because this phone has plastic back. Wireless charging requires glass back.

  • Not a big deal, ok.

  • No

  • hello all, those who have purchased A50 . does the phone/battery support wireless charging?

  • A50 is the best midranger of the year

  • Phone is good abt battery , camer and other thing. But the worst thing is you will not operate your cell phone in normal rain. If you have water drops on your cell ot will not respond to you. Phone will be hang

  • Mid range phones are never the best but they're very competitive for sure & the A50 does that with ease. If you want the best go for the S or Note series.

  • Yeah I know that aint be a problem :)

  • Ah yes, the guy who used it for 2 years and has enough experience to say "sluggish after time"

  • It's definitely not the best. Not responsive enough. Sluggish with time.

  • If you enable Bixby it takes the power key to operate so simply swipe down the notification bar from top to turn off the device, you'll see the power icon on the top right of the notification bar.

  • maybe its the blue light? i know with my s9 i have to filter it out because it hurts my eyes.

  • No headaches for me. I don't watch movies or play games on my A50 yes but I do watch some short shows or sports highlights on it and nothing weird happened so far. I've used lot of Samsung super amoled phones in the past so may be I'm used to it but trust me I haven't been through headaches so far.

  • No headache, I get slight eyestrain on prolonged use (more than 1 hour). Anyway if you used samsung phones begore without problem, this wont be a problem for you.

  • Anyone has headache, who use this phone? This screen use pwm to dim brightness. Thats mean, the screen flickering in 120hz frequency, may cause headache.

  • Had this same problem took it to the care center they repaired it for free... Was told its a software issue

  • i have a samsung galaxy a50 also.brand new phone? ??? and i had it for one month. i went to put it on today and it would not turn on but afterwards it came on and is lit up with the words samsung galaxy a50 and will not shut off and the light is on and i can not get it back to where i bought it from till tomorrow. not happy with this phone. it is suppose to be brand new.

  • Hi, I have galaxy a50 and the power button doesn't respond some times...

  • Thanks. I did that, waiting for the response.

  • Bro, contact samsung via the samsung members app or via email, they won't fix a bug if they didn't know about it. Mine has no issues :)

  • I'm still puzzled what went wrong with my A50. Wifi works flawless at my home without any interruptions but at my work place it keeps on disconnecting every 15 mins while my Samsung tab keeps connected without any issues. I tried everything from resetting the network, cleaning cache, factory reset but nothing worked. This is really frustrating as I really like this phone I just want it to overcome this issue. Hope future update can help resolving this problem.

  • You're talking about a30 or a50?

  • Why did you buy it if it's so bad!!

  • Yes.

  • No, mine works like a charm, totally satisfied.

  • battery is li-ion

  • Very low quality battery service...

  • Very crappy camera!! I will have to replace mine as soon as I can afford it.

  • I bought the Samsung A50 about 2 months ago. I was in a rush because my old phone had been stolen. Big mistake. The cameras on this phone are absolute crap! I had a Huawei (P10 I think) in about the same price category before and it delivered absolutely stunning pictures. Had an HTC way back before that. Again, most beautiful pictures. What's the point of 4 cameras with gazillions of pixels if you end up with pictures where the face is just a blob? When I activate the camera and try to zoom in, it automatically goes to video. If I don't remember to set it back I'll start recording and by the time I have it fixed, the moment is gone. If I want to take a picture through a window, it focuses on the object outside - as soon as I want to take the picture it re-focuses on some dirt or drop of water on the window. Haven't been able to get any usable image out of that situation. Video is a disaster. The camera won't focus for the longest time, then it focuses, then it goes back out of focus. Haven't been able to get any usable video out of it. In perfect conditions with a person standing right in front of you, you might get a so-so picture. Evening or not-so-perfect condition or something more distant - forget about it. I'll have to look for a different phone and get rid of this one as soon as I can afford it. I would have expected better from a brand like Samsung.

  • Want*

  • Pls I won't to get a Samsung a50 and I don't know if its reliable... Pls is anyone facing any challenge or challenges with his or her a50?

  • Hi, does anyone here having issues with the samsung A50? Like heat up and the phone cannot be start at all. Already tried Vol and on button but doesn't work. It shows over heat, but the phone is not hot at all, nor it is charging. And now total gone. That that screen keep popping up. Just bought it 4 months ago.

  • Not only me but also all of my friends who have A50 .......

  • Versatile cameras, bloat-free software and good gaming performance, the Samsung Galaxy A50 does it all while offering a really good user experience that takes phones like the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Pocophone F1 head on.

  • So because it's not happening to your phone, that means it's not true?

  • display good battery okay call quality very good loud speaker okay camera okay phone is look great.. network signal receiveing is very bad compare to my oppo f11 and nokia 730

  • Camera quality after several updates is still so low , battery drain is not fixed yet, please someone report the problem

  • He said we have battery drain and network issue which has been happened after August update but it is not true at all so he is bashing ...............

  • Yeah, at last you got me, Sherlock...

  • But that guy was not bashing it bruh

  • Yeah you are right . By considering price and the features that A50 has , it is better than S series but just in this way . Everybody knows that midrangers are just midrangers and they cant be compared with flagshipers ..........

  • Now im sure you are not an owner of A50 and just comment here to bash A50 .........

  • Yeah it is nothing near the S series but if you look price wise then this is the best mid range phone money can buy especially for people who can't afford to buy the expensive flagship devices.

  • It looks like either you are a paid blogger by samsung or a die hard blind samsung fan. Read my post carefully and slowly, hope you will get your answer.

  • frankly i feel like if you can get it, the redmi note 8 pro or even the regular mi 9t/k20 (non-pro) are both better values for the price/

  • He didnt say it was bad phone why y'all bashin him?

  • Sure, A50 is a great phone but come on..... this thing is nothing near S series

  • Friends plz tell me after October security patch update how is the battery performance

  • This phone is value for money. It is one of those phones that gives you flagship features at a mid range price so no need to spend your hard earned money on the S series as this is more than enough to fulfill all your needs. Bottom line "get the A50 save your money and get all the flagship features".

  • We need Android 10 with better signals and data... update a50 to Android 10...

  • Best phone for this price and after security updates fingerprint improved and solid battery life and a great price. Best value phone of 2019

  • I update all...but Network signals not solved... Display very good Battery good Camera good but very smoothly Network signals receive in inner are very bad

  • Are you really an owner of A50 ???????

  • No network issue after update ........

  • Nothing happened to battery .....

  • FPS improved and now it is so good .....

  • What are you saying ??? You are giving wrong information about that update

  • what type of network issue? my friend with A30 told me its call quality is good unless in rural areas, and his phone takes time to connect to wifi but once it's connected no issues

  • After August update fingerprint scanner does improve a lot but it is still not excellent. Battery drains a bit faster (you can live with that). It has slight network issue. On the other hand day to day performance is good. No lag. One UI is excellent. Camera is also good and the sAMOLED display is amazing. Overall it is a good midrange phone.

  • Battery is one of the strongest features of A50, it's really solid.

  • You can't as I know, SMS has limited amount of characters you can send. So try to make your message short or send multiple sms

  • Battery is good too :) , it was already good.

  • A50 has gyro-EIS?

  • After update battery and mobile data is very good

  • From where you bought exactly if u may ask?

  • What is improvement after august update . Kindly reply. . Anything about battery improvement

  • hai guys....I want help...large sms go to convert mms...how send large sms sent how without converting mms format..

  • Its excellent after august update

  • Pls buy the handset from a genuine reputed seller. Different sellers sell it for really less prices than the authorized agent. I bought a cheaper one from a "so called" reputed seller and faced some faults later and found out it to be a faulty phone which has been a display unit and then has been repaired. Although warranty was given they didnt repair mine

  • The comparison is a huge mismatch price-wise. Better look at Mi 9T 6/128GB vs A50 6/128Gb comparison and decide for yourself.

  • Sorry, wrong reply on my part. lol.

  • But I was asked to compare Mi A3 and A50? I was answering a question there but aint you a smart one

  • For the price of A50 (brand-new). You should have compared it to the Mi 9T 6/128GB from Xiaomi and not the MiA3.

  • The a50 camera was good until it got worse it shooting video like shit the video is slow it is shitty camera and photos are shit

  • Right about what exactly?

  • Wow you right

  • After recent updates it is acceptable, even good.

  • After update it is very good

  • A50

  • very bad

  • Slower than others, but its not as slow as people say. And well, you can use it even when the phone is lying on the table which is great (rear ones dont have this).

  • How's the fingerprint sensor? Is it good or bad?

  • Thanks for your valuable reply

  • Mi A3 gives a slightly better performance and slighly better cameras in exchange for a 720p 250ppi screen instead of 1080p 405ppi this one has

  • Which one butter samsung a7 vs a50 please tell me

  • A50 has very very good cameras, no complaints whatsoever.

  • I've seen various comments regarding WiFi and network signal issues, some say it's all good and some say it's worse, doesn't work somehow. However, don't forget there are different models of a50 around such as the global version, US/Canada version, Europe etc. So you can expect faulty devices too.

  • Should probably visit the a50s opinions, might find something concrete over there

  • You actually didn't buy the Note10+. "Don't try to sugarcoat everything. You will get diabetes." (PewDiePie)

  • I got it, his name is not in bold, so he is not a registered user like me. Not that problem...

  • A50 is camera issue front camera automatic blare back cam not better i am so sad. 1 time i am going to service center wi fi not work 2 time fingerprint not work i am from bangladesh

  • Hey this kid is using my username how??? Stop spamming using my name.

  • I suggest you to see by yourself, try a demo in store if available or check camera samples that gsmarena will post. Don't believe hating comments/bashers, since they are likely chinese manufacters fanboys...

  • Are the a50 and a50s has the same camera result? Because i'm going to buy a50s but many says the camera quality is bad. But i don't see anyone complaining about it in here.

  • A50

  • Best midranger of 2019 by far

  • Yes....a 50 have serious network signal issues...I am from India karnataka...my another phones Nokia 730 oppo f11 work flawlessly...but a50 not browsing and streaming...It doesn't catch signal in inner area...but another phones very good streaming...this is Samsung hardware mistake...I lost 17000 Indian rupees

  • Why are u spamming? You have made 3 comments within 12 hours!!! (UNy your location). Anyway I'm using it and it does have network issue (it is not severe though) but it does have...

  • Superb wifi connection, better than my Galaxy Note10 Plus. The Galaxy A50 is the perfect device, so cheap and so good!

  • I meant Mate 20 Lite

  • I just noticed that you can mock different notch types. You can use the phone as if it has the same notch as the one on Mate 20 or you can get a corner cut as if you got the S10 punchole..... Dunno how useful but its there

  • Fantastic network signal

  • Great network signal, very good phone in general, thumbs up Samsung!

  • which one is better option samsung A50 or Mi A3

  • Man please say which one is better other than amoled. IPS LCD or LTPS IPS LCD.

  • Samsung will not read this. Don't request things on here, as it's annoying and won't happen. Also, the zoom would not look great, and probably put a lot of strain on the processor. So they won't.

  • yes sir, i used to have an s8 i used the same wallpaper for almost 3 months with 50% of brightness and i had burn in screen :( sooo if you can change the wallpapaer and decrease the brightness it will be fine

  • Second october update at door now.as 227 mb woow

  • i have an issue with finger print sometimes when i open the screen and press the finger print he don't respond and the green light dose not appear and if i press again nothing happen i need to turn the screen off an on again to get the finger print working

  • › ... Web results Galaxy a50 network problem in low signal area - Samsung Global EU

  • Great network signal, very good phone in general, thumbs up Samsung!

  • Samsung please increase zoom of camera of samsung A50 to 10 not 4 only. Make an update online. Thank you.

  • A50 screen use pwm. That's mean, the screen flickering in 119Hz with low brightness. Thats cause eyestrain or headache for those who sensitive.

  • Serious network signal issue..worst phone from Samsung

  • I used my j7 2015 like you nothing happened. My dad still uses it (was bought in 2015)

  • So, as someone who keep the same wallpaper for months and use 60-70% brightness, I'm at high risk pf getting burn ins?

  • Searious network issue...if u are strong network area it okay. If I are weak signal area don't buy it.....my another phone are getting good and surf and burf internet...but this is not work

  • I use a fiber skin to protect it's back, really cheap & handy.

  • Never heard of burning pixels before but thanks for the info though

  • Hi, I buy Samsung A50 (A505FM) and I am very happy and satisfied with the new product. Everything is fine , only one minus have for back plastic because very easy can scratch,...other staff are great!!

  • Not necessarily. Buy try to set darker wallpaper instead of brighter one to avoid burning pixcels .............

  • May be.... Actually I don't know. I had used almost 3 years Galaxy note 4 before it was stolen. I didn't find any burn in. I like darkish themes and always use one.

  • If someone doesn't change their wallpaper or theme on an amoled phone, will there be a problem or burn issue?

  • Dont worry nothing will happen ........

  • I've used a lot of Samsung amoled display phones in the past & haven't faced any burn in issues on any of them. I always use auto brightness and keep on changing themes & wallpapers every second day & haven't faced any issues over the years.

  • I don't think so. If you change your wallpaper frequently and, keep brightness between 15 to 25 % and use darker theme than you are fine.

  • Than good for you. But I'm having network issue though it is not that severe. One of my friends is also having the same issue.

  • My samsung a50. 4month old but now im having problem about the brightness look like toomuch contrast the whole screen be came blared because of that. I can say i all ready try to fix on settings be stil the same

  • You sure? That's great .

  • Then u got a wood cp

  • Hello everyone. I just want to buy a new phone with super amoled screen. I've used IPS LCD in my whole life. I'm afraid of amoled burn in issue. Any Samsung user help me. Should I buy it or stay with IPS? I keep the brightness at 10 - 20 %. So is burn in issue for me?

  • The signal is so strong every where in my country. So good and ok .....

  • Mine , Never

  • Last time I checked I think its 12,000 plus but to make sure check it online

  • Wow that's cool. Really looking forward to it. Thanks though. =)

  • Samsung a50 worst mobile....lot of network issue...Not working speed...

  • Is Your phone unlock automatically in your pocket?

  • My Samsung A50 is good. No network problem. But fingerprint is very bad. Sometimes phone is unlocked automatically. I can't find how it is done. I think it is the most biggest problem in Samsung A50. Pleace Anyone can give me a reason or advice for that? Thankyou

  • You must have set your A50 to 2g only ... Mine mistly connects to 4g, sometimes 3g if 4g out of range.

  • It does have network problem. In my house I get full signal (4 bar) when I use may Nokia 6.1 but A50 shows 3 signal bar with the same operator (same sim card). 4G browsing speed is also slower.... i think it is a hardware problem....

  • A50s has worst camera lol .

  • Manually network select operator you

  • In my country the signal is strong on my A50 . Without any problem.

  • Does anybody here form PH knows how much the phone cost? Would be so glad to have a price reference coming from the same country. And also for existing owners, does the phone works better on online games? Especially those apps that consumes a lot of storage, mostly the phone gets sluggish. Can it handle at least 4 to 5 apps like PUBG or COD that normally consumes 2-3 GB of storage. I was just concern that it would be a waste of money to purchase the device. Hoping for respectful responses. GOD Bless all. Bought it in Sm Masinag Appliances for 17,998 Php Cash No problems for games, also no heating issue, playes CoD Mobile(Level 37, Veteran 5), Mobile Legends(Mobile legends is laggy before September patch due to some compatibility issues with their "Speedy" client. Make sure you update your deviceMythic 1360- +)) and next target is "The wild rift" the league of legends mobile port. Fortnite now runs to high settings(previously GPU not supported), Fingerprint is Faster, after patch, and yeah Overall it's good, i'll rate it 8.5/10 big points for it's price. Camera is Good but not on Par with my 11(128), But with upcoming Android 10 + One UI 2.0 update you can't loose with this phone. ALSO just add another 1000 Pesos and you'll get A50s with improved Camera and new Back design.

  • check this one...Samsung a 50...my nokia 730 oppo f11 get good signal strength and good net browse ….but this one is always get 2g signal...I think network radio problem...check in google ..almost users are complain about this

  • It works

  • I've a tempered glass on my A50 and the FP works like a charm, no issues at all.

  • Stop bashing bro, in my university inside the class all people, including the ones with nonsamsung phones, vave terrible reception.

  • It works with tempered glass for me.

  • I don't have any problem at all with network signal. Wifi connection is good, everything is fine. The Galaxy A50 is a great device, thank you Samsung.

  • All is well but...network signal strength is very bad...Samsung phone is very worst ..I have oppo f11 and Nokia 730..but they get good signal...but this is very worst...

  • Pretty much just for audio music is fine. Rarely watch movies on phone.

  • Does FP sensor works with tempered glass? I've read that it won't work with it, but I don't know if it's true.

  • For samsung only man but otherwise redmi note 7 sold more than A30.

  • Dunno man A10 sells more

  • Good joke :-)

  • Any thing new or just a regular security update??

  • With the supplied earphones (they are pretty basic though) sound quality is average. I use JBL... with that sound quality is great.

  • Yes, A10 is the best seller worldwide! A50 is the second and A30 is third.

  • i got new update with 124m .... mine is india region....

  • A10 is the most popular one

  • I use Sony headphones and they pair great with the A50.

  • When Android 10 is available for a50?

  • How's the sound when using earphones instead of speaker? Any issue or feedback?

  • A50 have a major problem...network signal issue

  • It's one of the most popular phone from Samsung :-)

  • For A50 .......

  • 6000 comments

  • We dont buy a phone just to do a drop test, it comes with a case use it and put a tempered glass.

  • Using a cover 100 times droped , still alive .

  • Plastic body 3 to 5 dropped a50 dead :.(

  • A50 is the best midranger of 2019 .

  • you can record calls just open the phone app and open the settings it should be the second option

  • After using Galaxy A50 for two months Pros : 1. Great display and design 2. Wonderful One UI (lots of customization & useful features) 3.Capable processor 4. No heating issues 5. Gòod camera in daylight. Cons: 1. Underdisplay finger print scanner is not great (though it has improved a lot with latest update ) 2. Network issues 3. Poor low light camera performance 4. Sound quality through its speaker is poor( though it is loud enough) 5. Battery drains a bit faster. It looks like a 3200 mah battery not 4000 mah.

  • This phone has an amazing camera which has really improved after the updates. It takes really sharp & crisp images even in lowlights & the night mode is really really handy.

  • If it's a software problem then it should've been fixed by now. I love my A50 & I want this issue to be resolved at the earliest.

  • No its a software problem...

  • Buy chinese phone= support a nation that violates human right, the choice is yours.

  • It comes with a clear protective pouch which I think is pretty cool. It's not heavy on the wrist. Screen responds well, on all my games. Love the wide angle camera. Haven't used the fingerprint feature, cause of its speed. Face recognition is faster. It learns from your habits, and thus with the right settings lighting is adjusted accordingly. Connects well to other devices including smart tv and no problems yet with WiFi connectivity or anything else.

  • Buy Realme 5 pro it gives you a real mind blowing performance get the 8/128 variant.

  • Wifi problem is not fix with software update. lol its all about hardware .

  • Haven't bought mine yet doing my due diligence first

  • Precaution is always better. I also dropped my A50 on a concrete floor the tempered glass cracked & saved the screen. Its better to use it with a tempered glass & back silicon case it comes with.

  • The screen cracked because of you dropping the phone (likely) nothing disappointing about that bro. My brother dropped his phone (A50) 3 times and got his creen protector craked. But the phone screen is fine.

  • Thank you. Looking forward for the phone to be the same as what you have. =)

  • Playing CoD Gun Game between 40-50fps no matter what with the highest graphics.

  • Maybe you should have had a screen protector.

  • Good processor, good screen But the only thing is that the phone has cracked once and there is a screen crack. This is too disappointing to me. only wasting my money.

  • Yeah obviously haha but games depend on the cpu/gpu more than ram. Even 3gb is enough for gaming but still bit less. 4gb - 6gb ram is perfect.

  • With 6GB RAM does this device runs smoothly these games - PUBG, COD, FIFA20, Dream League Soccer, Asphalt9 ?

  • Yeah, keeping my fingers crossed :-)

  • For same price A50 has sAmoled while mate 10 has LCD, also A50 looks better than mate 10, both build and software.

  • Hopefully it's just a software issue, might be resolved soon

  • Yes it is, apart from this I've no complaints about my A50, it's a sold phone. Hope they fix this in future updates. It works perfectly fine at my home on WiFi but at my workplace it just doesn't work (keeps disconnecting) while none of my colleagues face this issue on their phones.

  • That's a major issue if that's really happening. How come there wasn't any complaints regarding WiFi before this.

  • mate 10 better than A50 with same price !!

  • i am going to buy dual sim global version of A50 6/64 GB variant from India. Because 6GB RAM variant of this device is not available in our country Does this device runs smoothly these games - PUBG, COD, FIFA20, Dream League Soccer, Asphalt9 ????

  • A50 is a beast

  • Get an A50

  • I buy and used Samsung A50 for 2 weeks, the signal is too weak compared to my LG Q6plus. I used data for Samsung A50 but I cannot use it properly the signal is disappearing so I restart or turn off the phone to get signal properly. While my LG Q6plus is normally operated when I used data. Is there a sort of software upgrading of Samsung A50 signal strength?

  • Don't know the price in your country, but right now the price is about 16k rupees or $220 for 4/64 variant. My A50 have 4/64 memory, i play Pubgm and Codm smoothly. With the october patch, i think it has fixed all the bugs before. No complaint.

  • It keeps disconnecting at my office, while all my colleagues stay connected over WiFi. Even my 2 year old J7 prime stays connected which is pretty annoying they did not fix this issue with the latest update.

  • Need help......A50 or Redmi Note 8, which is better? Thanks.

  • Realme 5 pro is better performance and camera.

  • It's getting heat quickly

  • the Galaxy A50S in Europe???? when it has UHD film instead of Fullhd!!!!

  • Best midranger of 2019 . A50

  • Great screen Very good wifi connection indeed Very good and capable chipset Good sound Good camera the fingerprint sensor is quite fast and battery is simply excellent

  • What exactly is the issue with the WiFi?

  • WiFi working fine? Or sluggish?

  • I just got my samsung galaxy a50 on friday it is a beautiful phone it works very well for the price. The screen is beautiful i got the white version and it is so beautiful and with the clear case it came with i can show it off. the pics are beautiful.

  • I just got my samsung galaxy a50 on friday it is a beautiful phone it works very well for the price

  • same here,wifi on this phone is the worst i have ever seen

  • No problem in wifi bro, it doesn't disconnect by itself.

  • Does anybody here form PH knows how much the phone cost? Would be so glad to have a price reference coming from the same country. And also for existing owners, does the phone works better on online games? Especially those apps that consumes a lot of storage, mostly the phone gets sluggish. Can it handle at least 4 to 5 apps like PUBG or COD that normally consumes 2-3 GB of storage. I was just concern that it would be a waste of money to purchase the device. Hoping for respectful responses. GOD Bless all.

  • how do you go about installing it

  • what software update you used

  • The default 12MP takes better shots than 25MP, pics are more sharp & crisp on 3:4 rather than 3:4H.

  • Samsung please make an update of zoom of main camera of samsung A50 to incease zoom to 10 not 4 only. Thank you.

  • I bought the Galaxy A50 (128GB 6GB RAM) for 210 bucks, I am completely satisfied with every aspect :)

  • Today I got October security update in Bangladesh

  • Wifi problem on this device. don't buy better go for realme 5 pro. better stable performance without wifi issue.

  • I have been using the A50 for 3 weeks now. I would wish the phone to have better sound quality. Also miss call recording that I had on my old phone, but that is a Android issue.

  • hi all is the mate 10 good phone ?? it cost 250$ now , did you recommended it ??

  • Zoom is not useless

  • What is the point of useless digital zoom? What should you ask for is optical camera

  • Maybe A71 will be sooner as you said at least 4 months later but it is long time too . But it seems we are far away from A51 releasing time (( about 6 months ))

  • Samsung please increase zoom of camera of samsung A50 more than 4 .Make its camera zoom 10 times. Thank you.

  • i am using samsung a50 two months ago. overall everything is good but the camara when i zoom the picture that time the picture was fade . i am samsung lover i always suggest people to buy samsung phone but now people say samsung camara picture quailty not good then samsung galaxy s4 that time samsung mobile camara was natural.why samsung using artificial camara dont know.

  • I don't think it will take that long. 4 months will be the longest before they come out. Considering the improvements they are supposed to bring to the table, I'll suggest you to wait.

  • I never use.nfc, wireless charging and heart sensor. Just the daily usual stuff as long as there's updates

  • With a recognition under %0.1 , you have the ability to snuggle in features. Thats what Oneplus did. Do you know why they arent flagship killers that cost half a flagship anymore? Because they are now big and this had its costs. Money goes to more places now

  • Hi all what is the best to buy "Samsung A50" VS "Huawei Mate 10" ?? i want from Experience please !! THANKS before.. 😍

  • Best midranger of 2019

  • Best midrange phone ever

  • Hi! Can you guys tell me about the WiFi quality on the A50? I'm looking forward to buy this phone, but I saw some people complaining about the WiFi connection (when it keeps disconnecting) (I'm from EU. My mobile network is t-mobile and the internet provider is the telekom. I'm not sure if it's relevant)

  • my man have you looked at blu phones they cost around 200 and you know have wireless charging

  • This is 13th October... But I'm still in Aug 1 security patch... I suggest samsung should only sell their phones in India.... If you don't provide timely update than you should not release 5 phones per month....

  • A50 is one of the best midrange phones I've used. It has everything you need in a smartphone that too at a very reasonable price.

  • Overall it's a good enough phone. I don't know why some are not satisfied with this phone at this price point. Must be coming from a faulty stock, I guess.

  • High temp in KSA in common, but still seems like it's durable and doesn't overheat at all

  • Wireless charging cannot be found in smartphones under 300$ anyway so.....

  • I found out what was wrong. 25MP is the wide one. Uou get 16MP if you use the regular one (talkin for selfie cam. There is a switch at the bottom for going wider. Wide one is 25MP)

  • can anyone using A50 confirm this weird problem. please check your pixel of selfie cam. it max out on 16mp whereas it is supposedly a 25mp selfie shooter.

  • after 4 months of using this phone and counting... I really love this phone! budget friendly phone. fingerprint sensor works like a charm after the update. with software update in a monthly basis. pictures and videos quality improves a lot. battery life is excellent... There was a heating issue when I used it outdoor ( watching videos continously), ( note: my location is KSA so literally outside temp. is higher as well). Overall , I am a satisfied A50 user.

  • Good

  • At first, I was worried when I got the phone. I was wondering if it will meet my needs. When I started to use it later, it met my needs more than enough. The charging speed is good. It can be used very comfortably the entire day. Three cameras have a wide-angle mode. The pictures, which I took with this mode, are excellent. The screen resolution is very very good. There is also a fingerprint scanner which embedded in the screen. It's running a little slow. This property is very good if you compare it with the price. I played high-resolution games fluently. Advantages: Good battery life, High memory space, System fluency, Camera resolution. Disadvantages: No NFC, Wireless charging, Heart sensor. Finally, This phone is better than the other products which compared price-performance balance.

  • There is problem with Samsung A50. About 2 months after I purchased one on June 27th 2019 to be precise, the Samsung care center at Abuja changed the panel when it refused to power or charge and in less than 2 weeks after the screen blanked and changed into a blueish color and started cracking under my very watch including the screen cover - quite scary and this time around they (Samsung) refused to accept the fact that it happened insisting that it fell down probably to avoid the warranty obligation - really unfortunate. Well I left the phone with the MGS manager at Wuse 2 Abuja. Whatsoever caused that ( maybe factory fault) can equally make it burn or explode. Samsung should look into their warranty policy especially on newly manufactured phone models with a view of listening to their customers and treating them well after such spending. I have used 2 or 3 Samsung phones including Galaxy J1 (6) in the past 10 years which were all good but for the battery issues.

  • A very nice phone

  • How's your experience with this phone as an actual a50 user?

  • Then A50 is a good choice for you!

  • Forgive my ignorance but is there a way to take scrolling screenshot without a third party app on the A50?

  • Thanks, it was a just a guess though

  • I could but I don't plan to have an expensive phone, I just need a decent one for daily usage, work, family, friends and leisure. Also, not afraid to throw my phone once in a while. That's about it. I'm sure I'll learn to optimize it

  • Also, you are the very first person that understood the meaning behind my name. Good job

  • Money is a really big concern. You can save up a little more to get something better too tho. If you get an A50, I can help you optimise it for the best performance.

  • That's great, a full time doctor and a part time phoner, great combo.Anyway, I think I will probably go for the affordable option

  • Buy s9 or note8 there

  • Note 9 and s10 have the same pricing here

  • Sorry, maybe after graduation. But one cannot make a phone review channel when in a medical school on the way of becoming a doctor.

  • I understood what you said, however there's also whether the phone can be afforded at a reasonable price too or not.

  • That was a long read, so I noticed there's a lot of ups and downs for each device but the one that stands out at the end was the a50 cuz price and long term wise, that may the obvious choice. Also you mentioned there are a lot of features in a50 that I might need as time goes by and regarding the build, I may need to have a strong back phone cover in case it drops and cracks even if it's gorilla glass 3. Your suggestion is acknowledged and highly appreciated, you sure you don't have a YouTube channel for phone reviews by any chance?

  • No features . But it says that security has been improved .......

  • What does the Octover Update do?

  • A50 is the best midranger of the year

  • Samsung flagships (old/new) are the best no doubt about that, if you can afford one blindly go for it. In my country the note 9 is selling at $562 while the A50 is for $270 so there's a major difference in price. I'm using the A50 as it's much more affordable than older flagships & so far it has been a great experience.

  • Depends on how many years passed

  • what about network? still have issues or solved by updates... fingerprint as well still ha ing problems or solved by updates? please advice

  • If you have the money for A71 then just buy a pre-loved Samsung Note 9 6/128GB. Samsung midrange pricing is overblown so much so that the old flagship such as the Note 9 is still a great contender for the A71's target price point. I like Samsung but my preference were their flagships and the old ones, they're much more well-rounded and much more powerful than any midrange Samsung offers.

  • Again, Samsung is using "Glasstic". 3D Glasstic in particular. Their smartphone's backing is just a design to look like a shiny glass with fancy colors outside that's why they use a name combination of "glass" from glass and "tic" from plastic. They're not using Glastic material, it's different from what Samsung has implemented in their phones. If Samsung calls their rear backing "glastic" without using the proper Glastic material, they're up for a lawsuit and they knew that. 3D glasstic is a marketing term, if you bought the phone with the expectation that it is Glastic, well it isn't. Nonetheless. Even if your arguments were wrong you still support them? lol. Well let's assume they're true for the benefit of the doubt, which isn't obviously, they're still plastic. Plastic is the superset of Glastic and Glastic is just more specific type of plastic. Do you get my point? Get your facts straight, get it from the manufacturer and not just from any blog or review site.

  • Body: This one is a bit problematic for Samsung since they wemt for glasstic but.... that made it lighter? P30 Lite: Dual glass design but stil light at 160g thanks to small battery A50: Front glass and plastic rear with a heavy battery but still a s light as 166g thanls to plastic reat Note 8: Heaviest of the bunch with 190g since it has both a big battery and a glass sandwich design. Design: This one is a bit tricky, because its a personal thing. As for Front design, they all have the same Infinity-U. P30 Lite: Smallest of the bunch with 6.15" A50: Has a slightly bigger chin but it makes sense when used in landscape mode Note 8: Has "Redmi" Written on its chin. Thats a bit annoying. As for the real panel, it gets more and more personal. P30 Lite: Gradiant colors and a big-ol rear fpscanner. A50: Color shifting without any trace of a fpscanner Note 8: Gradiant colors and a big-ol fpscanner but it has a weird-looking (personal opinion) camera layout as having it that way makes it look longer than it should. Display: This is Samsung territory and they rule it here. P30 Lite: 415 ppi IPS LCD A50: 403ppi Super AMOLED Note 8: 409ppi IPS LCD A50 has a pitch black king AMOLED and man it hits different Performance: This one isnt something you would look out for but they still arent same so.... P30 Lite: has Kirin 710, performs similar to SD660 A50: has exynos 9610, performs similar to SD660 but a bit better thanks to CPU Note 8: has SD665, performs better than SD660 but it wont effect you. Memory: This one is a battle between regions not phones. I dont know whats available there so..... P30 Lite: 128GB base storage is great to have and it supports MicroSD cards A50: base is 64 but depending on region you can get 128. We have 64/6 and 128/4 here with the same price and since you cant put extra RAM I went for 64/6 Note 8: Same story with A50. Region battle, 64VS128 Camera: They all have give decent shots if you fiddle around with them a little. (I take pictures that regular A50 users cant because regular users see giving 5 seconds for optimisation as hard as rocket science) You wont be going wrong with any, though there are some differences. P30 Lite: has a decent camera, nothing much special but cant record 4K video A50: has a decent camera, has super steady video mode but needs third party app for 4K recording Note 8: has a decent camera, can capture 4K video with the native app and has a telephoto, even though its 2MP only. Battery life: This one is an important feature for most of us but sadly I cant find any information about Note 8 battery life. P30 Lite has a smaller 3340 mAh battery. Even though Huawei has a great battery drain algorithm that has thdm last long, it still isnt enough to take down 4000 mAh A50. Doesnt matter which you buy though, as they all will get you through at least a day since you dont play games. Extra Features: Time to shine for exclusive features, as they are more important than you think. P30 Lite: has features EMUI brang along like navigation toggle and others (I dont know all of them could be great if someone added those extras) A50: has features OneUI brang along (Bixby Routines is a really good one) as well as some extra and official features you can download to get. Like One hand operation+ and Sound assistant. It also has app pin and pop-up window. Note 8: probably has things ita UI brang but this guy is never talked about anywhere so I cant find any info. It has an infrared port tho it can be used as a remote control for the tv

  • Okay, break it down not too complicated though hahaha

  • All right. Gotta give you a in-depth comparision

  • My options out of them would be a50, p30 lite, redmi note 8, I guess so that's it

  • P30 Lite: Has good looks but in the same price range as A70 and falls short behind it. Camera and Chipset closer to A50 Y9 Prime: a good pop-up camera midranger. (I personally dont like the EMUI tho)

  • No huawei options available in the same price range as these?

  • Redmi Note 8 Pro: Value for Money, but has a Mediatek chipset meaning problematic updates. Samsung Galaxy A50: Solid midranger, a bit pricey next to others but man that software is lit (lots of customization and has one of the best UI's out there) and has the superior positioned in-display fingerprint scanner with AOD Samsung Galaxy A70: Bigger solid midranger, but still pricey. Its really big and has an outstanding battery life M30s: BIG battery. Good pricing But lacks useful features like Bixby Routines or a light sensor. Redmi Note 7/Note 7 Pro: solid midrangers, good prices but ios-like UI Xiaomi Mi 9T: a good choice if you want a full-screen phone, but still has a not-so-likable UI Oppo Reno Ace: this guy seems to be the next flagship killer and man this thing is crazy. On the other hand, we havent got any reviews yet so cant say if its good or bad. Pocophome F1: Old but gold, powerful (but still old) Has the Mother of notches Now, I want you to chose 3 or 4 phones outta these 9

  • One UI is fine, no realme here I where I am and yes for big screen.

  • Concerning these 3: 3- I meant the UI. Samsung has OneUI but its filled with a lot, and I mean A LOT OF features. Are you fine with having a custom UI? 4- You have realme or not? 5- Do you want it big or not?

  • Sure, no problem

  • 1. Screen is not an issue for me, either way is fine. As long as I can read and watch subtitles on a movie just fine. 2. Notch is fine with me. Not a major issue. 3. Ever since I had my first touch phone, it was a stock Android. So I'll stick with Android. 4. Sony, samsung, nokia, huawei, oppo, honor, one plus, no realme. 5. If screen size over 6 inches, then I consider that as big.

  • We are almost done. Now, answer those questions so I can narrow down options: 1-) Do you care about the display being AMOLED or LCD? 2-) Are you fine with having a notch or do you just hate it? 3-) Are you a Stock-android fan or are you fine with having a different UI? 4-) Which brands are available there? 5-) Do you want the screen is big or small?

  • All right I will try and find some suggestions but keep in mind that I cant predict their prices in your region you will have to be the one to consider their prices (they wont be far off tho Imma look for midrangers)

  • I'm not a heavy gamer so no games at all, need space for good amount of apps with updates. Good battery for using WiFi like Facebook, instagram, twitter and other power consuming apps. Pictures yes, of course not necessarily good in low light. And can use for at least 3 years, even if fast charging is not available. That's about it. Flagship phones are out of my range BTW

  • Tell me what you do with your phone on a daily basis (Like, do you play games? Or maybe you only watch videos? You might be into taking pictures?), what do you expect from a phone (lots of space to use? Or maybe you want feature-filled phone with lots of options? Or a multi-tasker? Maybe a media transferring beast?), how much you can afford (like, can you go for a flagship? Maybe a flagship killer(!)? A midrange?) and I will give you some suggestions.

  • Since you're a part time phoner, what do you suggest?

  • Are you sure that you know the difference between a frame and back panel of a phone? Samsung's Glasstic isn't Glastic either, stick that in your mind, there's a lot of space for it in there. Asking me to do a research? Naahh... You're the one that needs it.

  • Yes? Most are good but some have more realistic colors some have more punchy and appealing colors so camera is all about what you prefer just like the UI

  • TBH 'Good enough' is how most budget phones are these days

  • Pretty good point. Let's see what my options are, to get a50 or wait for a51 and a71

  • Real fast, but you must first install the latest software update, otherwise it may be sluggish.

  • If you do a simple search on the net you will be understand glastick is (( Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester )) . So it isnt a simple plastic at all . So do research before opening youe mouth ....

  • It will be delayed ........

  • Will this get the one ui 2.0 with android 10?

  • Uhuh? Of all the points I've made, you've only got to reference the last sentence? Excellent!

  • yes

  • galaxy A71 geekbench listed 1 moth ago maximum 2 moth device will be out there

  • CoD and minecraft at max settings

  • Couple of months ??? What do you mean . New A series including A51,A71 and the others will be announced 6 months later . It is about half of a year .

  • Not just a simple plastic it is glastic . Read more about glastic to see what really it is ......

  • Camera act as a real midranger ......

  • So you are one step away from everything you want . Just test an A50 to see what i say ....

  • If you got the money go for A70 but A50 is handy and gets update faster than A70 , as A50 is in monthly update list of samsung .....

  • It supports me with pubg whole day . What do you play ????

  • What about the fingerprint sensor?

  • USB C is better

  • A50 receives faster updates than A70, my cousin's A70 is still stuck on July where as my A50 runs on the latest October update. Cameras are nothing to compare about as higher megapixels don't really count. My A50 takes really good pics in any lighting conditions. Go for the A70 if you like big screen and 25w fast charging.

  • Samsung and apple are not greedy because they build their devices with the best security which chinese brands can't do

  • I will suggest y ooooi u to wait for a couple of months to get the A51 or A71 that will come in 2020 as they will be a huge upgrade over the current A50 and A70. Unless you need a phone right now, then wait.

  • Dropped many times, nothing ever happened. Im satisfied with the pictures It can take. Granted, its not top notch, and indoor pictures are a bit washed out, but its still good enough.

  • Justifying a wrong doing by generalising that others does it too does NOT justify your point. You've already said that that Samsung is greedy. Greed is wrong and it won't become right based on how many does it.

  • Plastic and glass back covers were common in midrange. You know what Samsung's current midrange were lacking? Metal frame. Samsung's J series have metal unibody back then and it's fantastic but you know why they opt for all plastic build? It's for profit. Plastic build + high price (relative to competition) is always a good combination for more profit.

  • How's the phone camera wise and durability?

  • Almost everything you need in a good long term budget phone .

  • So I'm getting a new phone tomorrow and was wondering whether I should get the A50 or add the extra $80 to get the A70? I really like the 25w fast charge but is it much of a big deal with the A50 supporting 15w? Also, is there much difference in their cameras? And finally which of them receives updates faster?

  • Not really. I am a heavy gamer and after coming back from the university Im left with between %15-10 (from 7 am to 6 pm)

  • Samsung really does make you pay more for what the phone is, but man that software gets the hole filled up. OneUI is (personal opinion here) hands down the best out there. And hey, you get things like Bixby Routines and One Hand Operation+. My only problem with the A50 is 64/6 Storage. Should have been 128/6 but this does the job too I guess?

  • all do it for profit that's obvious but there are more greedy companies like Apple, Samsung & Sony. & there are companies who are not yet greedy because they are new & want to establish themselves first in a very competitive market by offering better value for money. do you understand now ? maybe not

  • It lasts a whole day for a heavy gamer .........

  • Yes

  • Yeah I mean its not like xiaomi is tryna make profit they are doing this for the good of god they even give away 1 millions free units fpr each model...... Bet

  • You can play CoD Mobile, PUBG Mobile and Minecraft for 5 to 6 hours straight from 100 to 0 battery

  • Does the battery last for heavy gamers

  • People's are asking that a50 and a50s heat up gradually when we play the first game like pub g asphalt 9 etc is this true if it is true then it is a serious problem or not

  • What matters to you ????

  • It is like a joke when you say samsung uses cheap component . Never say it again in somewhere else if you want not to be teased ........

  • Everyone have their own opinions. But do keep your options open.

  • I mean that A50 gives you all what you expect from a mid-ranger phone and wont let you down at all .......

  • Aren't most budget phones nowadays have plastic back covers to make it lightweight and cheap anyway?

  • no not faulty just cheap component used by Samsung to save money so they can sell the phone & make the most profit,unlike Xiaomi who sells cheap phones but with top quality component !! it's all about Money all about GREED

  • Can you please expalin what you mean? I need it to know if I will buy it or not. I am about paying.

  • Well, every update doesn't mean it's gonna be an upgrade.

  • Was the phone faulty by any chance?

  • Good to know, but few users are not satisfied with this device. No idea whay faults have they faced

  • Micro usb vs usb c which one is better ? Please replay .

  • the samsung a50 has a very poor wifi range

  • Mine runs blazing fast after October update. No issues faced till date.

  • And A50 has U infinity display not V .........

  • A60 with o infinity display .....

  • Ive used A50 for about 6 months and i say to you that it is a real beast ...........

  • Excellent phone, excellent wifi connection, 100% satisfied

  • No ...

  • samsung must have used the cheapest WIFI chipset because A50 is the worst phone i have ever owned when it comes to WIFI connection & also sims signals are always on the lowest bar sometimes no signal at all, i have owned LG,XIAOMI,SONY,MOTO all performed great specially the Sony when it comes to WIFI connection was a true beast. A50 has great screen & OK software but that's about it everything else is POOR,i would rate it 1 out of 10 because user experience is awful. which is most important to me

  • After the September software update, I noticed charging A50 became very very slow. Has anyone noticed the same experience?

  • Kindly share your experience if you've used this phone for some time

  • Any other issues I need to know about?

  • Really wish Samsung would make the galaxy A and M series with infinity O displays instead of this crapy looking infinity V displays

  • Not for me ......

  • Can samsung a50 connect with OTG

  • Tatti battery life

  • Having a problem where when you click download update it just keeps saying connecting to server but After about 5 minutes it gives error saying couldn't download update. Anyone else with the same problem?

  • Yes, mine is already running on the latest October update.

  • Which country

  • same issue happened to me last week! they replaced something insside the phone !

  • Instagram can also be viewed in night mode, just came to know about it :-)

  • Anyone got the October update? Just got mine in PH.

  • Noooooooo

  • A50 is much better than P30 lite as it has a beautiful Super AMOLED screen, bigger battery life and better cameras also it's really fast when it comes to software updates.

  • Only sometimes heat . In unconditional use . No night mode issues

  • Thanks for your feedback but I heard there were heating and night mode issues in a50, is that true?

  • Yes I had similar experience then after few minutes the display completed blocked out. Then I got it replaced from local service team under warranty. I was tdld it is manufacturing defect.

  • A50

  • I bought A50 and used for only 2 months. One the phone ceased working. Since it was under warranty the local service team replaced mother board and I was told it manufacturing defect. Again after few days the display blocked out. The service team replaced the display and said manufacturing defect. After just 3 days the message displayed as "phone is heating will be closed in 10 minutes" I checked the case and display it is still cold. I returned to service team this time they have mobile for one week and I still wonder what they are going to say next.

  • A50, much better in almost every aspect. Yet cheaper!

  • Stop nonsense, it is just a gorilla glass 3, decent fall resistance and really high scratch resistant. Just use a case and tempered glass so ur good to go, reduces breaking risk severly. My vrother keeps dropping his A50 to the point where tempered glass broke, but the phone glass didn't :)

  • A50 for sure, best value for money, but always check for software updates to keep this device running without problems (for sure update to latest update for superfast fingerprint).

  • Samsung A50, huawei p30 lite 6 gb, nokia7.2 or oppo a9 2020 ? Best option to purchase in terms of durability, long term use for at least 3 years, decent camera and battery, good processing speed with updates and less lag? All opinions are welcome ☺

  • A50 has just added to samsung monthly security update . So good .........

  • It's really hilarious to see people unnecessarily bashing this phone. Talking about "screen breaking easily" c'mon, there's a thing called "tempered glass" which fits perfectly on A50's flat screen, we are not here to perform a drop test. Just common sense is needed here before posting illogical comments.

  • A50 or P30 lite?

  • Screen easy to break

  • Samsung A50,screen ist very easy to Breakfast. Die they purpoely Made that easy?

  • I had it, restarted the phone in safe mode, found out it was caused by GTA:SA, deleted it.

  • Which country?

  • Thanks ......

  • I did a factory reset after the October update and started my A50 afresh and the finger scanner works like a charm now no need for multiple attempts.

  • Yes

  • Need to reset fingerprings again ??????

  • Sounds so good

  • Is it in changelog ???????

  • I think the battery life is better after the Oct update. Don't know why though. Before that, the phone would spend up to 60 - 70% in 8+ hrs at work (2 sims on at all time, 4g on nearly all the time). Now, it would only take up to around 50 - 55% at work. And the phone lasts pretty darn long with just wi-fi on.

  • Nope, battery is still good.

  • me also, October update is a regular security update. but fingerprint works far better

  • I get the October update, i haven't face any battery drain issue now..

  • After October update there is no battery drain issue

  • sometimes touch doesn't work

  • Have battery drain issue after September update :/

  • Fingerprint (under display, optical) UPGREATED

  • No, it's just a regular security patch.

  • After using Samsung galaxy A50 about a month,I have faced screen flicking issue.This is very annoying.I did factory reset my phone but didn't find any thing right.Even commenting this in this page, screen flicking happpens continuously.Have you guys faced this issue?Give any solutions will be highly appreciated.Thank you.

  • Anyone experiencing fast battery drain?

  • I feel too much good about pubg even it is far more better than note 7 pro

  • I am still at August Security patch...anyone got September or they will skip?

  • Any new features added? After oct update.

  • Bet

  • Finger scanner has improved after the October update. A50 is really fast with updates.

  • ;)

  • Do anyone know how to disable macfee security scan in device care? After activation, it's battery hungry. Thanks.

  • Doesnt browse fast on 3G. The Play Store loads slowly on a 3G Network

  • After forgetting my pin iam not able to restart my pin

  • He was doing a live show in the dark room with a flash light on for 10 minute , yes it was 48 degree Gendhel

  • Frame drops do happen, only if you are trying to play PUBG at HDR. Other than that I havent seen any drops below that graphic settings

  • Yeah sure playing COD Mobile for hours has mine at 38° at max but you go 48° in 10 mins real joke my man golden one here

  • Impossible that it raises to 48°C in 10 mins, this is pure nonsense, mine after 1 hour of pubg at 60fps it feels kinda hot, just like any other phone.

  • Yes bixby is available

  • Its the same thing ... DPI- dots per inch. .. PPI-Pixels per inch. Pixel is generally referred as dots, when you print out or take a hard copy.

  • This is bixby avilable

  • Re security update 3rd Oct : U.K.

  • The fingerprint scanner was slow before, but with the latest updates, it has improved! They even showed a notice saying that I should redo my fingerprints. There's also a few tidbits that were changed here and there. One includes the magnifying glass when you're selecting text, and the animation of the fingerprint scanner when the screen lights up (I'm not sure if it does the same thing with the AOD since I barely look at it tho). Funny thing is that most of A50s' features were moved to the A50 via updates. This includes, but not limited to: stabilized camera, super slow-mo, improved camera settings (especially night mode), game boost, and again, faster fingerprint scanner. Probably the best phone that I've got during my existence, to be honest. 🤣

  • I bought this phone with confidence of using samsung mobiles for more than 10 years. But samsung lost its cool these days. This phone started overheating from days with just 10 mins on camera or any app usage. Took to samsung store and they said it cant be replaced because it clocked only 34degree. I went to another ccare and asked them test it infront of me and it was around 48 degree in 10 mins usage. Still I am fighting to get the phone replaced and they are not doing. Pathetic customer service these days from samsung. No more products from samsung.

  • This phone isn't good for pubg (frame drop + heating issues ) The fps available announced in pubg extreme ( 60 ) fps but in reality 30 fps

  • I have checked 3 a50 phones and both had the same resolution. Can you share yours?

  • Battery stability improvements little bit...i felt

  • ok thanks for the tip

  • a50 fingerprint is really become slower after a few day..you should buy a50s or A70 if you are a swmsung lover, because this devices comes with amoled display. But vivo Z1 is a great choice but its weight is 200+ gram. on the other hand a50s is 166+ gram. a70 is a little more than a50s. A50 camera doesn't give you satisfaction than vivo z1 but A50s can beat Z1, but Z1 is come with 712 soc 11 nm, on the other hand A50S comes with latest exynos 7 series chipset with a great chip 9611, actually A50s is a pro version of A50s. if you are looking to buy Samsung A50 I will say you to but A50s, if you don't like Samsung than you can buy Z1.

  • Today I get 124+ mb update its only security update of October no more changes... I am really confused after this update.. but I am clear that my phone is charging become very slower than before in Active mode.

  • Arrived..nothing much just 124 mb update only security updated. 👎👎👎👎ð­;Ÿ‘ŽðŸ‘Ž

  • A50 for sure

  • Just got the October Security patch, awesome!

  • Any information of october update ??????

  • Can anyone answer me what is the difference between dpi and ppi ?

  • This is the phone which is the best mid ranger of 2019 by far .

  • which country ?

  • Samsung a50 vs realme 5 which one is dbest

  • Not at all, according to my usage, it only takes time to connect to wifi if signal is very weak. But 4g/3g connections works as intended don't worry :)

  • The only thing you can do is contact samsung, or take it to a samsung AUTHORISED service center for diagnostics. Wish you luck :)

  • Inform us about changes , please

  • Should i buy this or vivo z1 pro or realme 5pro?

  • No it doesnt. At least not where Im livin....

  • Guys..does anybody know how to fix when posting a picture online it goes sideways? I have this problem with Samsung A50. Pls help

  • Bro I have tried everything but didn't work for me.

  • Hats off to Samsung ! Received October security patch yesterday (2nd oct) on my A50......still waiting on my Pixel 3 though

  • Hey guys,while I'm using my phone sometimes I get taken the lock screen out of the blue and the display goes off and on for few seconds.then it goes okay. What should I do? It rarely happens too

  • Disconnect the vpn when downloading software

  • Turn off power saver, this may help.

  • A50 for sure, cheaper and better.

  • If i buy this today can i get the august update?

  • Do not take the phone.... it has very serious problems with internet connectivity....

  • Hi, I have already a P30 lite and I can tell you it's a great phone for it's price (good battery life, nice Cam, great sound, avery strong network signal and WiFi, LED notification and a lot of good options),in other hand comparing to Samsung there is only some few options missings I realy regret, like samrt stay, dark mode doesn't existe as it's not an amoled screen, notification reminder...) otherwise it's a great phone, love it

  • You cant. This aint a 1440p flagship so there isnt an option for that.

  • vpn worked, thx a lot but why did they block my network ?? & vpn is super slow too it's going to take hours to download the update which usually done in minutes !!

  • There is a problem in my A50 It stops downloading when screen goes lock like If I download something from playstore eg Pubg whenever screen turns off it will automatically stop the downloading after sometime and hide the downloading icon from always on display but when I unlock my phone and screen turns on most times It resumes the download and sometime shows waiting for wifi or waiting for download.Is someone has same issue and what's the solution for this problem. Anyone? your little effort will be highly appreciated

  • I want to buy a new phone. And I hesitate in between Samsung a50 and Huawei p30lite?? Please your comment and suggestion? Thank you in advance.

  • Guys anyone have trouble installing walking dead s2 on a50? I uninstalled and installed s2 multiple times to hack with lucky patcher but it doesn't just work anymore I've tried deleting Google play data, cache, restarting my phone nothing worked there's also some people saying in Google play reviews it is not installing on a50 what can I do to fix this problem I couldn't find s2 apk by apk mirror

  • Same problem with my mobile use any vpn

  • you are welcome but please note my issue is not related to Wifi or Mobile Data connection as those work fine,my issue is with the update server refusing to connect to my phone !!also regarding the Wifi connection it is very lazy what i mean by that is i had Sony xperia in the past & that phone used to pick up the Wifi connection before i even entered the house but this stupid samsung A50 i enter the house & stand next to the wifi router for few minutes before it decides to pick up the wifi connection. it's average phone with poor user experience

  • Thx bro for ur quick feedback, appriciate.

  • my stupid A50 since the august update was installed the phone no longer want's to connect to the update server,every time i check for an update it tries to connect for 5 minutes then says error connecting to update server !! my wifi connection is working fine !!! very bad quality phone,only thing good about this phone is Amoled screen Nothing Else !!

  • Please answear ASAP if possible, I heard there is a network and WiFi problem with A50, I heard also there is an August update correcting these issues, is that true? If yes is the update correction working? thx in advance.

  • How can I change the screen resolution of the phone? I want to change it to 720p but I can't see that option.

  • If it is just the screen that goes blank when you have it near your ear it is a proximity sensor and it is supposed to do that so that you don't accidently hit any keys whilst it is near your ear, if it is going off and on when the speaker is on or not while it is near your ear there could be a problem with the phone

  • Veryvery best phone.

  • I have a mind to go in for Samsung but I read somewhere in the comments that mobile phones , including Samsung series , could be genuine as well as fake . If so , how could one discriminate between a genuine & fake Samsung phone . Please , somebody , advice .

  • you mast update your phone to have i beater sines in finger sensor

  • Extremely recommanded to update your phone software to get the last features and stronger security .............

  • When i brought my a50 last july, i got the notification to update my phone.. do i need to update or ignore the message? Does anyone here updated their phone here? I need your opinion.. Thanks

  • Not a good phone actually a very very good phone .........

  • Some gps applications work with samsung A50 but some gps applications don't work with samsung A50 although they work with samsung j5 2017.I don't know the cause

  • I want to buy this sumsung galaxy A50. Is it a good phone?

  • Why gps applications don't work with samsung A50 ?

  • Guys my phone's display goes on and off during phone calls. How do I stop that?

  • Well, I you like samsung oneUI and their services, get A50 . But if you want to game on your phone, I think the lite will be better on the long run.

  • Yea

  • i installed G camera and the phone is capable to record at 30 fps 4k resolution but the other option in G camera some of them working and the front camera i got 60 fps and FHD resolution

  • Bro i am confused between the A50 and the MI9Lite. can you help me choose please : ) ?

  • Major differences: A50: -Better cameras especially low light pics -Indisplay fingerprint scanner -Speaker loudness -Charging time at least 1hr 50min (good backup) -No 4k recording M30s: -Better battery backup -Charging time at least 2hr 30min -Speaker loudness is weak My pick A50, cause it looks slim and a little premium imo

  • And I dont really know why my comments turn out like that

  • it is here

  • M30s is better option

  • I took 2 with the front cam one is 5760×4312 and the other is 4688×3516 Im nıt entirely sure why

  • I dunno mate m30s looks like a strong competitor

  • Dee, Appreciate for your reply but I meant to say the restoration cost of screen and back screen replacement.

  • No idea bro.. but in my case it's broken.

  • Samsung doesn't read complaints here, complain to them directly :)

  • Weird, check if your phone is genuine.

  • What should i buy a50 or m30s ?

  • i dont think we will be getting those phones in south africa :(

  • Resolution of pic taken with front cam with 3:4h settings is 4656x3516

  • Of course you can PUBG Mobile PLUS Mobile Data means it will heat a lot (all phones would except for a phone with extra cooling tech such as ROG Phone) And yes 42 °C is pretty easy to feel if you touch the phone. Dont worry, your phone is fine as long as you dont feel similar heat when not playing games.

  • I'm having a heating issue while playing pubg on mobile data, i can feel the heat on my left hand after playing 1 or 2 games.

  • What is ppi? please explain to me clearly

  • A50, This Phone automatically switch off frequently, some of the application we can try to operate that time mobile getting switch automatically, i m very fed up. no improvement on the update, Samsung please rectify this issue.

  • Did you feel any change? Though network issue wasn't my problem so i don't!

  • Also, this 6.4" phone is not even as wide as 5 5" J7 (2015) they are not wide they are tall

  • You can still go for A40 if thats the case

  • Yes I got

  • I'm facing this issue quite often. I have to force restart the phone. I haven't tried switching off the facelock and fingerprint.

  • JUST REPORT TO TENCENT GAMES, This is not A50's fault, stop asking the same question again.

  • get the S10e... it's lighter & smaller compared to the S8 while still maintaining the same screen size

  • Most of these phones are way too tall and wide:-why don't they make them small and slim like the old galaxy s8

  • How can I solve the touch issue in map of pubg?

  • Today I got 3.89 mb update about Network stability improvements! Did anyone get this kind of update?

  • Try restarting the phone, weird behavior sometimes happen if you haven't restarted from a long time

  • Mi 9T ofcourse

  • In terms of performance and build quality xiaomi mi 9t is beast .

  • I think 2gb or 2.500mb

  • New software update hit 3.9 mg 1 aug patch level The stability of network has been improved Call stability has been improved

  • How many more ram left do i have to use? With 4gb ?

  • Redmi note 7 vs Samsung a50 which one is better for gaming and performance. ?

  • Guys I've been using this phone for months without no issue at all but suddenly my screen started flickering and going back to the lock screen. When it happens it doesn't allow me to use my fingerprint to unlock. I switched off the face unlock and fingerprint and now it works fine. Does anyone know what just happened?

  • I've heard about a certain August update but did it brought improvements to the overall cameras performance, stabilization and most importantly quality?

  • No, Samsung puts in high megapixel sensors and adds 2 extra cameras but quality is still poor in most situations. They're just checking off the spec sheets to sell phones and care little about the actual experience. BTW A50 is already being replaced by A50s and A51 so if you're buying this older model make sure to get a discount.

  • We got night mode pictures but still noise filled

  • Not just faster I can now use the tip of my finger to open it if I tweak my fp saving progress anf somehow still have it secure enough to not be unlocked by any other finger.

  • Which is the best A50 or xiaomi Mi 9T ???🤔

  • Yes it has really improved ...........

  • The A50 back is a flexible plastic, how could it crack?

  • Got the August update yesterday, testing now. So far I've noticed that the finger print reader is definitely faster.

  • question will you still be able to take beautiful photos even during night time?

  • Tell me the resolution of the pic

  • You'll get a gel cover inside the box itself with the device. For the screen protector (Tempered Glass) will cost no more than $10 maximum. But there are so many glasses for cheaper prices like $2. It depends on your requirements and desire.

  • I cannot access the page to sort the apps by alphabet or clean up my apps. When I follow the directions nothing happens

  • I like samsunga A50

  • Then, check this out

  • Sure I will :-) but can you please let me know the cost involved.

  • But my question is...is it splash resistant?

  • None. Just a regular mid-ranger

  • I dont know mine says 24.8

  • 10million hits wow .

  • My mobile fell down from my pocket while driving from the pothole roads of Mumbai. Even I was surprised to see that along with the screen even the back panel was cracked. Just need to know if the cost should not exceed more than 7K to 8K or else there won't be any point in getting the screen repaired. So I wanted to know if anyone in this forum could help me understand what will be the actual cost involved. Regards, Swap

  • I doubt that

  • A50 is number 9 in favorite ranking list ............

  • It is satisfying ...........

  • 10 million hits ;)

  • It's not water resistant.

  • Put a case and screen protector on your next phone.

  • Speaker quality not good

  • Max resolution i am getting from a50 is 16mp. I calculated it by applying resolution mentioned in pic details taken in 3:4h mode. Why is this the case? Has Samsung cheated?

  • How you broke the back panel? Thats new to me. Anyway contact the nearest AUTHORISED samsung service provider

  • August security update really hurt my phone...re did my finger prints and now none of my other apps like my banking app can use them to sign in. Battery seems to have gone down 50% or something and my phone gets kinda hot for no reason. My biggest issues are chrome and Facebook they are draining so much

  • wait for A51

  • There has been some misinterpretations and misinformation re the A50 being IP-rated & is water resistant. Can someone please tell me if the A50 is actually IP-rated or is splash resistant?

  • Guys, I have accidentally broken the screen and back panel of my new Samsung Galaxy A50. Can anyone suggest what will be the replacement cost of same in Mumbai. I really don't want to kill my phone and want it to relive. Regards, Swap

  • Do we have an online portal? I bought thru online not sure in the shop they will look at it?

  • everything works perfectly only one thing bothering me the fingerprint animations it's lagging sometimes and make a bad feelings i hope Samsung change it or make a disable option do you gays have this lagging too ??!!

  • when you are pulling it out from your pocket your finger touches the clock

  • a50 or s8 plus ? I use the phone for social media and watching video and sometimes playing gaming , I want a phone that atleast can stand for whole, Im worry of midranger phone maybe have problems but also s8 plus wont get any other android so im worried what to chose between the two

  • Sorry to tell you man, but august update made it lightning fast :)

  • your looking at $30 if you do it yourself.

  • The Galaxy A50 is the best budget phone 2019: solid camera, in-screen fingerprint reader, headphone jack and long-lasting battery, all that at a very affordable price.

  • Watching every single battery drain test on youtube, A50 mostly was the coolest or at least the second one. Others normally go beyond 41°C A50 mostly sees. Normal usage doesn't have it heat up. Also, Huawei P30 Lite and Xiaomi K20 series have the same 42°C records on notebookcheck if you wanna go there. Camera performance is satisfactory enough except for details on a "25" MP camera. Even after playing a battery-draining game (Minecraft. Doubles the drain) for almost 3 hours I got around 9 hours of screen-time. This really is something that would come from a bad battery life (!). Speakers are really low on bass though. I find the speaker quality not good enough as well but from what I have seen, other mid-rangers (mi 9 or F1 kinda ones aint midrangers) suffer from this too.

  • The Exynos SoC runs very hot and rather than allow thermal throttling Samsung engineered it so the outside of the phone will heat up instead. A50 has some of the hottest recorded surface temperatures of any recent device recorded at over 42C by notebookcheck. The lack of power/thermal efficiency is why the battery life on this 4000maH battery is similar to other phones with only 3000mAh battery and a more power efficient Snapdragon SoC in the same range like 665, 670, 730, etc. Samsung cheaped out on the speaker audio quality and antennas while artificially limiting LTE speeds as well, so it can have decreased signal on WiFi and mobile data. Camera quality is low despite having 3 sensors on the back. Additional options like Wide angle is great but not if the image quality is going to be even lower than the regular pictures which are poor as well. I went with Pixel 3a despite it costing about $150 more as it does not suffer from these issues and will have monthly software updates guaranteed until Android 12.

  • Fingerprint on this unit - worst thing that ever happened... I dont recommend to buy it

  • Samsung had a better keyboard than Redmi?

  • This mobile is open line of any country? Or just only here in Saudi Arabia?

  • Contact samsung, they should know what to do, I put mine for around 8 hours in my pocket daily,not the least problem

  • Yeah, I agree. But why it needs to do a force restart. It's not working it's getting hot the screen keeps on blinking when I try to enter the pin after one or two key pressed it's off and again in few seconds it's on. If somehow I manage to unlock when I try to open any app after I click it open after a minute. The worst part is during this condition if someone calls it rings for the caller but for me (receiver) I'm unable to see or hear the phone ringing.

  • I agree with you on point 2 &4. And when it hot you have to do a force restart. Point 1 after the latest update I see some improvement. Point 5 I don't know.

  • You got a fake A50, mine has none of these problems

  • I Have the newest A50S also Redmi note 7 Pro in my oppinion : Samsung 48mp (A50S samsung ISOCELL) Camera not that good, Redmi note 7 pro night mode have much much much better result. Samsung A50S Battery Drain very fast compare to redmi note 7 pro. I think this is number 1 A50S weakness, battery like a shit. Samsung One UI Ecosystem sometimes a bit laggy, MIUI ecosystem is much faster in any circumstances. What i like from samsung A50S It have Earphone. It have Original Fast Charger. It have NFC. Samsung No ads, while redmi have alot of ads. Samsung had a better keyboard than Redmi. One UI is very simple compare to MIUI. not much garbage app.

  • s8 plus vs a50 ?

  • Although I am a patron Samsung customer, using Samsung phones from a decade now. But this is the best phone I have ever got. After using the phone for 30 days, I have discovered many great features of this phone like: 1) Fingerprint sensor, gives you a great security, such that you can never unlock the phone using this fature. Regardless of whatever number of attempts you do, Samsung A50 will always give you a constant message "No match". 2) Great temperature control. In winters you can just put your phone in blanket and probably you will not require any extra heater. 3) Amazing voice quality. No matters how loud you speak, the other end person will not be able to get your mellifluous voice. 4) Great collection of Samsung useless apps. Samsung will try to annoy you with numerous apps, which cannot be uninstalled, that keeps on popping here and there. 5) I basically brought this phone for Mirrorlink, as honda city do not support Android auto. It has a Samsung car mode, which gives you POI, but when you try to navigate, it gives error no supported navigation apps. Not even google maps or others.. So, basically car navigation is also useless. I do not know what another phone to buy but never expected this from my Samsung..

  • Thats normal bro, just put any phone in your pocket and it will heat.

  • almost 3 gb in use and 3 gb free

  • the Galaxy A50 is the better Samsung phone to get

  • I'm having this problem. The phone gets heat if I kept in my pocket for a long time. Especially if it is jeans too soon it gets heat. And I have to force restart the phone to work

  • It occupies between 2.1 and 2.5 GB of RAM leaving you with 3 or 3.3GB

  • How many more ram left do i have to use? With 6gb ?

  • To me, it seems that the light is getting hot, or the data is heating up. If you have used this(a50) phone will tell if you are having this problem?

  • Actually, Samsung does same for budget line-ups. If you want great phone that will be updated and etc, you go for S-series, it's better to buy older S-series smartphone than A-series etc...

  • Mi 9t

  • Problem with Readmi phone it's camera performance will deteriorate with time duration.Due to the lack of update.All the Chinese OMI Vivo,Oppo, Realme and Readmi, they all are concentrating in quantity they hardly care about the quality(long time performance).

  • It is worth to buy A50 instead of A7 as A50 is newer and better ........

  • Yeah AOD is supported for A50

  • For Samsung lover it's a good upgrade but except battery and and display don't expect much from processor is above average close to SD 665,Moto One Vision (night mode is just awesome) and Nokia 8.1 is way better in terms of Camera performance and regular updates for longer duration.Both Nokia 8.1 and Moto One Vision support OIS.

  • The upgrade is not worth then, unless you want a super battery (m30s one,A50 battery upgrade aint worth it), I recommend you to keep it for now, maybe next year A51 will be a better upgrade.

  • Nope, not a heavy gamer. Casual 10-30mins gaming, apart from online movies streaming and minimal social app. Other than that, occasionally taking some photos with family during wkends or at some events. In other words, it's just an aesthetic upgrade then as per what you're saying, isn't it?

  • The upgrade is decent in gpu departement+bigger screen. In my opinion if you aren't a gamer there is no point in upgrading over A7 2018.

  • Xiaomi mi 9t or A50 ?

  • Hey, guys. I'm planning to upgrade my Samsung A7 2018 (4gb+128gb) phone to either the A50 or the upcoming M30S. As for now, I'm leaning towards A50. My ques: 1. Is it worth the upgrade? 2. Is the Always-on-Display available on the A50? 3. Does it support wireless charging? Thanks in advance.

  • Indoor pics are a bit too bright ngl

  • i have activated scene optimiser & still it's take pics too quick with the same rubbish results. i'm talking about indoor pics, i have not much complaint about the outdoor pics

  • i mainly use the photo mode so how can i possibly let it take 5 seconds shots when there is no option to do so !! which mode are you referring to ?

  • Yes, it has always on display.

  • Yes there's a always-on-display when you put it on your pocket.

  • I want to purchase A50, also let me know that there is no always-on-display??

  • Its bad only if you take photos in 0.03 milliseconds as long as you let it do its job and take 5 or 6 seconds to adjust the scene and have the scene optimiser work it turns out pretty great

  • Mine , never ...........

  • Read p30 lite review and you will know that A50 is better

  • Define super hot. By the way if your phone gets high temperature, it will stop charging for safety. As long your phone is still charging, the temperature shouldn't pose any problem. Quote from samsung user manual: "While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger may stop charging. "

  • My phone gets SUPER HOT while charging. Is this normal?

  • My new phone A50 manufacturer in Malaysia. if me go india any problum.some people say you go to india sim problum.please reply

  • A50 good phone with great screen but very bad Camera

  • Exinos

  • Does this mobile supports MHL?

  • Depends on what you are looking for. Stock Android and Cheaper price-point with a more detail capturing camera (48MP variant) or feature-filled OneUI with a Super AMOLED display and an Under-Display fingerprint scanner?

  • Redmi note 7 is best snapdragon vs exynos which one you think is better ?

  • A50 for sure.

  • p30 lite is the best i tried f11 pro samsung a50 and vivo15

  • A50

  • Go for A50

  • A50

  • If your phone screen in facing your leg, it will touch trough cloth, sAMOLED screens have high sensivity.

  • In my jeans pocket? How?

  • IS A50 good? Or Redmi note 7 good I was thinking to buy this two phone

  • because your finger touches the clock once

  • Really? Then why touchscreen works properly everywhere, only the problem in PUBG map? Please don't write nonsense.

  • What is the solution for this problem?

  • Please advice me wich one is better galaxy a50 or redmi note 7 ?

  • Phone problem not bug

  • IT IS A BUG IN PUBG, not A50 fault, please report the bug to tencent games.

  • A50s

  • Why the problem in touch map of pubg?

  • Ok then, you are accidentally pressing the time so a clocks shows up. I recommend you to either use tap to display or programmed activation, because always on does waste battery and accelerates amoled burn in.

  • Light :) you mean (( lite))?????

  • Just wait.........

  • p30 light or a50

  • No August update in South Africa? Any idea when it might be available?

  • Will inform when available

  • Between the versatile cameras, bloat-free software and rather good gaming performance while offering a really good experience, the Galaxy A50 will more than suffice for most users.

  • Sent a request for you, accept so we play via xbox live

  • Mine tooo

  • Its MichaelPines but I couldnt find you

  • No it was selected as always on

  • Always on display set on tap to display mode. Either turn it off or let your phone screen face outward in your pocket.

  • No problem,I will download it, just tell me your gamertag, mine is Thedangers15

  • I would like to have you rate my base but you will need bedrock edition 1.13.0.13 Beta

  • Sure will give a try one more time on Samsung handsets during festival season sale. Thanks

  • Can someone please tell me why my phone screen auto turn on in my pocket and starts showing time with hh:mm:ss?? How to disable it?

  • Lol you play minecraft too! I play minecraft from 6 years.

  • Really I am happy with the latest update that was released in September, which handled the problem of fingerprint suspension efficiently, which is now quite wonderful and different ... Thank you Samsung

  • What a problem in touch the map of pubg?

  • Not every one is a gamer Man,some of us we prefer the UI one and we like secure device such that in case theft or loss it no one can see what's on phone or even using it,jst give a credit to samsung knox.thanks samsung

  • Yes

  • I didnt play it for a month now was busy building a small town out of a taiga village in MC that now takes 170MB (as big as the game itself) sorry

  • I have no problrm

  • There is a problem in touch map of pubg?

  • Does Galaxy A50 work with Samsung Flow?

  • I agree.. you have come to the point now... When Realme XT can give 8gb/128gb rom at 19k... why should I pay for 4gb/64gb A50 for 19k? Samsung has been in the phone business for more than 18+ years and android phone business for 10+ years, why cant they provide regular and faster software updates? I would have appreciated Samsung if A50s is given OIS and IP68 rating feature for that stupid price. I am also aware that Nokia 8.1 and Motorola Vision are the two phones in the budget range that have OIS feature, I am seriously considering them in the upcoming sale. If I pay premium, then I need to get something extra. M30s is just a gimmick, they dont provide fast charging and already there are videos cribbing about its charging time and if you have learnt science, why would you carry a heat emitting machine in your packet, you are going to risk your life if you are buying m30s. I am angry at Samsung because my 1.5 years old S9 display failed, my 1 day old A30 failed but they were so careless towards a loyal customer, .... To me Samsung is just money minting Organization, not a responsible organization.

  • SD 710, 712 & 730 have negligible difference in real performance. So little that I'd buy SD 710 phone over 730 if it's battery lasts even 30 minutes longer. The major difference is in battery efficiency. Only if people weren't so gullible we could be getting more Snapdragon 835 phones in midrange, like Nokia 8. It even has OIS and camera is breathtaking with Gcam cstark v11.

  • 1- 9610 is close to 660 but just slightly better, on the CPU side that is... 2- 9610 is purposedly made close to 660 its a midrange chipset and oddly enough 9610 is a 7-series exynos chip. 3- S10 5G is one of the fastest phones out there and it has Exynos 9820 chipset wym (dont look for antutu or geekbench. For real life performance, see: SpeedTest G)

  • Do you know which model numbers of the A50 are available in the US on Walmart Family Mobile and which of these have NFC, if any? Thank you!

  • 9610 matches Qualcomm 660 performance after 1.5 years. Already the mid range market moved to Qualcomm 712 and marching towards Qualcomm 730G. We need to wait for another 1+ years for Samsung to catch up..... Since A50s is released now, they will discriminate A50 by not updating... Already they are discriminating A30

  • i have A50 and rec august update in pakistan but when i download complete its say unvalid file try again i try again and agin but its say u valid file plz help

  • What are your choices

  • You must have a shady app consuming power in the background, mine once got 9% discharge overnight, I uninstalled the ceappy app, back to normal. Barely 1% discharge on idle.

  • It it normal, some other phones heat more.

  • I want to buy it is a good device in terms of games and other applications

  • Exynos 9610 capable of playing PUBG at HDR with little-enough-to-not-be-a-problem lags from time to time wym

  • Exynos chipsets should be only for low budget phones less than 10k.... Pathetic and Sammy wont listen to customers.... Sammy mid range and budget phones are not for performance.... its only for long time reliability for people who dont game....

  • If playing PUBG, heating up to 41-42°C is normal

  • I finally feel the heating issue while playing Pubg after August update. I don't know the cause though

  • My screen issues was caused by Malwarebytes.

  • There is a problem in touch map of pubg?

  • There is a way to launch the phone safely to see if the problem is caused by a 3rd party app. I had screen flickering issue turns out it was GTA: SA I had touch-screen issues 2 days ago and that also turned out to be caused by Minecraft Beta.......

  • Dears the battery drainage issues after the august patch update is caused by location services any app that uses location services will drain your battery . Keep location services off and turn it on only when you need it

  • Why my samsung A50 and my A70 rotate automatic when my screen is off,when a touch to see time my wallpaper and time is rotate automatic(phone rotate is off).

  • after August update, the fingerprint scanner works like a charm....

  • Thanks for ur reply... Yes I am currently watching the app usage and looks like I may have to visit the service center

  • Any unnecessary app permissions or settings like Auto Sync on?

  • i have installed GSAM battery monitor and identified these (video lockscreen, google app, chrome app) which consumed more battery.... I have removed them... right now display consumes more battery even with medium power saving settings...

  • Please replay me if there is heating problem during playing games

  • After August update In Display Fingerprint scanner does improve a lot ( though not perfect but very good I'd say) but SOT is bad.. I get only 4.5 to 5 hours of SOT with normal use ( Net browsing and 4g call through IMO . I always use dark mood ) . In idle also battery drains quite fast. At night while i sleep (from 12 p.m to 8 a.m ) battery drains 8 to 10 %. I keep mobile data on only when I need !! Location, bluetooth remain off all the time. So yea I'm not happy about battery performance. Aside from that everything is okay...

  • :)

  • After August In display fingerprint response is very quick...

  • What about gaming performance ? Is there a heating problem ?

  • I installed the latest update which should improve the fingerprint scanner but didn't. Also, the Google calendar didn't sync with my previous Oreo OS. What gives?

  • Any apps you suspect?

  • With emarat firmware which I have the answer is nothing.

  • Thanks for the reply... Yes, I already did.. I found the fingerprint experience has been greatly improved.... but not the SOT hours....

  • Did you check out August update?

  • Aside from snapchat, what are we missing?

  • Agust update made a big difference in FPS and made me feel so happy by that ......

  • After all it is good that now you have got the last update....

  • Do you pick thr difficult way . And its impossible not to get the update when sammobile put it on its list as the update is OTA and carriered method .......

  • Even if you see there is an update shown in sammobile some times your phone does not shown that update matter what you do i have been experiencing this man believe me and my phone works perfectly with august 1 security patch.

  • If the update is out then by checking manually it will be shown and no need to do this ....... If you Wanna know the update is out or not just check you firmware with sammobile site which is trusted in advance .

  • Guy's there is trick you can try if there's no update shown on your phone just download smartswitch on your laptop or pc and then download smartswitch apk on your A50 smartphone then use your original usb cable to connect your pc to your A50 so that smartswitch on pc read your phone... after that when they connected successfully if there is new update shown on pc tap on it ... then go to you phone and search update manually you will see new update shown by then.. Thank me later this trick work's for me twice on july update and August update becouse those updates where not shown even if i tap manually update.

  • Mine was 200 MG but contained August update like fps improvement.

  • Kurdistan is a city which is located in Iraq. A50 is a phone which is supposed to get update in every three months but in real it is getting every month.

  • Samsung Galaxy A50 has better RAM than Samsung Galaxy A50s.

  • A50 speaker is fine, loud too... just lacks in bass like other phones

  • August update also available in Kenya 🇰🇪. 248Mbs

  • Update: Fingerprint really works faster now are there any other changes?

  • Juat got an Update containing August Security Patch but its size is mere 248MB compared to 320 everyone is getting and the changelog doesnt say anything either.

  • As long as you dont download scam and ad-filled apps like Share-it OneUI is smooth too

  • You should pick Xiaomi Mi 9T, the MIUI is smooth like butter and the sound from the speaker is very clear and loud.

  • As far as I know there is no such country called "kurdistan" Also, whas the period of the updates you get? Do you get monthly or every 3 months?

  • Why lag in touch pubg map ?

  • Galaxy m40 or a50, which one?

  • Well I mean when the max you can play is "smooth" and "low frame rate" it lasts longer. 5h lifespan is for HDR

  • Well I did. Nothing great in particular its just less user-friendly/iphone like(for some part) with less animations

  • SoT or Battery Life?

  • Okay, it's time to share my usage with this device. I've been having it for over half a month now, and i will tell you everything about it. My baseband version is A505FXXU2ASH2. I bought this device from my phone carrier called Telekom, or as many like to refer to it, T - Mobile, Makedonski Telekom, or Macedon Telekom. I bought this device for 13,990 Denars (MKD) , which in Euros is around 225.464, and in American (US) Dollars is around 249.459. But still, you have to keep in mind that prices might vary in your country, because this device will not hold the same price in different markets. The original price for this device, at Telekom was around 20,000 Denars (MKD), and in the rest popular Mobile Shops such as Telekom and Mobelix, they had their prices around 16 ~ 17k Denars (MKD), again depending on the RAM/Storage variant. At my carrier, the only variant they had was the 4GB RAM / 128GB ROM one. Telekom did not have, nor offer the 6GB RAM variant. When i got there to get the device, they only had a blue color, thus i wanted black, but it's fine. And yes, i had to sign an agreement, about renewing my data / mobile plan, so i could therefore buy this device for a cheaper price, which i did. First time of usage this device felt fine. It did overheat, but i did not care too much. And i also experienced battery draining, but that was because i kept installing apps for my phone. The next day, it refused to charge. I was thinking about returning this to my carrier, but after googling up about this issue, all i had to do was just reboot, and boom it solved my issue. No more charging problems. And yes, i got a 2 year warranty too. Camera feels meh. I like the ultrawide, and most of the shots do end up with washed up and un - balanced colors, but for the rest is fine. The scene optimizer does help a bit, when it comes to boosting image colours, so that the image looks less washed out. The camera did also get some new things after a software update i got after getting this device (which i think was the June update, or July), such as Night Mode, and Super Slow - Mo. Night mode, is not the best, nothing like a Huawei or a Pixel, but for this device at the current price range, its pretty great. So is the Super Slow - Motion, but it does not record for too long. Now that we got the camera out of the way, lets talk about charging. Well 15 Watts, atleast for me, on a 4,000mAh battery is great, and it manages to impress me. But anyways, im not a guy that's always in a hurry or something so i don't care that much if my device will charge sooner or later. Battery, at the end of the first week did actually get back to normal and now acts like an actual 4,000mAh battery. Maybe it did not feel like it at first because i kept using the device for long periods of time and kept installing apps, idk but it's fine now. And yeah, it does last me a lot, and im satisfied with it. Now the speakers. They are quite loud actually. Not crazy loud or anything, but just loud. Also, idk if this is just me, or everyone else but when at Max volume sound does sound a bit crunchy, imo. Display is eyerape, we don't even need to talk, Samsung is the king of displays, period. Front facing camera shares most of the same story with the one on the back. Portrait photos look fine to me, on both front and back cameras. And now the fingerprint scanner under the display... Well when i first set it up, with a screen protector (not Whitestone Dome), the fingerprint did work, it registered my finger, and it still works fine. You don't need any specific screen protector, because the fingerprint scanner will work fine eitherways. It might be a bit slower, but you can increase the display (touch) sensitivity in the settings, which will make the fingerprint scanner that's under the display more sensitive to fingers. With the previous versions, it did work but not all of the time. It would still miss my fingers from time to time, but now with the 1st of August software update, it did improve the speed and scanning rate, so i added my fingers again, and it is better now, i mean it feels like so. While we're at software updates, I've gotten 2 so far and they are on a regular basis, just always on time, which is what i like. I'm fine with the body, and i give huge respect to Samsung for choosing a plastic back instead of glass back, because glass is more fragile, it cost more money to replace, and many cheap phones that have a glass back, do not have a use of it (eg. Wireless Charging). Now the Volume buttons are placed on the right side, which took, and takes me time to get used to their current position. Bixby is here, and like it or not it ain't leaving. For me by default the power key was what a power key does, and that is take you to the power menu, but it also gave me a recommendation, if i would like to use Bixby instead, which i choose later. Yes i use Bixby, and i find it more smarter than Google Assistant for many things. And, the last.. One thing i do not like is the placement of the headphone jack. Feel like they should've placed it at the right side instead, so when holding the phone vertically, it feels more natural for the 3,5mm hole to be on the right side instead, especially when holding the phone in landscape mode with headphones, atleast for me it is noticeable, and sometimes annoying, especially when i have to charge and listen at the same time. Gaming: PUBG Mobile runs fine. By default it detected the graphics on high, which is good. I never get any frame drops, or lag when playing the game. But yeah, just for any heavy task, this device will start to heat up. I mean, for me it's not a problem. Every cheap phone can overheat too. Even flagships sometimes do too. Asphalt 9 legends runs on Medium graphics, and it runs fine with no stutter, nor lag, but however just like in PUBG, after longer periods of continuously playing 3D games, this devie does start heating up. RAM management, considering I have the 4GB RAM Variant is fine, not the best but considering how much RAM i have, it is fine for me. I'm usually left with around 1,6 to 1,8 GB of free RAM. The cutout also does not bother me. And lastly, One UI is perfect. It is a great UI, that has lots of useful stutf, even dark mode which came way before iOS 13 and Android 10. It's perfect for one handed usage too. So in conclusion: Yes, you should buy this. You won't make a mistake. It's an A class, not that trashy old J class which isn't worth giving a single penny. A class is Samsung's premium mid - range class. Yes, go for this instead of the A70. Thus A70 is better in many aspects, it's really big and large. I played with the A70 too, but that one is way bigger. This one fits perfectly in the pocket. Overall, I'd rate this device 8/10.

  • For battery, yes.......

  • I use my phone all the time (Youtube, Internet, social media, camera, music, radio, calls...) and I get 18 hours of battery life before recharging.

  • I don't think that brand sells in my country, sorry

  • A50 for sure, my cousin has s8+ and nothing special about it, the on display fp scanner may be slower( faster after august update), but way better than rear one of s8+. Also, s8+ is less likely to receive android 10, while A50 is guaranteed to get android 11.

  • Have you ever used other UI before? EMUI? MIUI? Colour OS? Fun Touch OS?

  • Me too have debloated all the unwanted crappy apps/packages through standard command "pm disable-user --user 0 " without rooting. Even then.... I will see if subsequent software update delivers better battery performance or else will visit the service center before the warranty period ends... thanks....

  • L O L There is many reason . Are you like this days with less specific

  • Wrong. Exynos 9610 is close to SD 710. And better get Tecno Spark Go over Xiaomi Go.

  • Are you seriously recommending A50 over S8 Plus?

  • Don't recommend! Bad battery and camera! My Galaxy J2 Pro 2018 lasts 5h 30 minutes in PUBG with 30-40% brightness. It has Super AMOLED, SD 425 (28nm), 1.5GB RAM, 2600 mAh battery. This phone has 10nm chip with 4000 mAh battery and yet it lasts 4-5 hours in PUBG. Is its battery really 4000 mAh??

  • Gotta press the (X) button for mega doubt (source is the experience of both my and my friends experience just like yours)

  • Pls. Why touch in pubg maps have issue?

  • it is impossible to get 4hr max SOT from A50. What are you talking about? I use this thing heavy, and by heavy i mean real heavy (max brightness, crazy colored wallpaper, lockscreen video wallpaper, 2sims and 4g Data). I get 6hrs of SOT after all that i mentioned. So maybe you didnt update it to the latest software, or your battery has a defect.

  • Yeah it has.......

  • Go for A50 if battery matters to you..........

  • s8 plus. its a premium phone.

  • Thank you once again. Maybe I just have to hope that Samsung improves the Camera in its next upgrade.

  • Guys help , I can't dicide between a50 or s8 plus, I use social media alot and I watch always on my phone, hows the battery of this phone? I play games but sometimes , I just want a good phone who can last 3 years atleast , and hundle 1 day of use , shall I go for a50? and how stable is the a50 now ? theres any problem or something? (upgrading from a5 2016 I think will be huge upgrade)

  • Does samsung galaxy a50 have a bixby?

  • It doesn't lag for me, one UI is the best UI I ever used.

  • I dont know why my phone always lagging. I only buy it 3 weeks ago but now the performance bit dissappointed. I meant this samsung a50 have 6gb of ram rite but the performance like 2 gb ram only. Does anyone have the same situation like me 😂

  • Actually SAMSUNG One UI feels quite stuttery and weird choppy.

  • Ok, then you have august update I think.

  • There is this "Security Software Version" which gives the following detail ASKS v2.1.0 Release 190226 ADP v2.0 Release 180525 SMR Aug-2019 Release 1 Is this what you asked for? If not, please tell me where to look for it. Many thanks for your help bro.

  • I see. Now, I am not a problem solver, all I can do is giving advice and tell my experience. I get 10 hours of SoT with normal daily usage (no games at all or not-really-demanding-games like True-Skate or Rider. (University/Outside/Home) (has me going for a whole day) I have some settings tweaked though. If you think its worth giving a try I will tell you them but they may or may not work and depending on your region your battery consumption may differ.

  • In the first month of use (May 2019) I got 7 to 8 hrs SOT... but after May/June update, I dont remember exactly.. I am not able to get more than 4 hrs of SOT.... And I have already reset the device several times.

  • Max I lost was %2 in 7 hours

  • Depends on how you leave idle if you got nothing on (wi-fi/mobile data/bluetooth/location etc.)

  • I have this....pathetic camera reminds me of < 5,000 Rs phone.... Unnecessary Battery drain during idle

  • Take your phone to an AUTHORISED samsung repair center, because your battery seems defected.

  • Just taking a big risk of falling down ............

  • What would happen if I used this without a screen protector?

  • Alright, you have me convinced there. But someone of your experience couldn't possibly suggest touch sensitivity to improve the UI, even passer-by tech enthusiasts like me don't think that, just sayin. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Exynos 9610 is the equivalent of the SD660, that would be the better comparison for the two UIs. Funnily enough, I'm considering the Redmi Go to replace a 2016-model Lenovo that unfortunately broke after about 1 year's use. Just desperate for a cheap compact phone this year.

  • Wait for an update to improve battery performance . Battery is not as good as a 4000 capacity would be .

  • Df, it's 4009mAh

  • This is just getting horrible day by day in terms of battery.. I just got 4 to 4.5 hours of SOT !!! My wallpaper and lockscreen wallpaper is full black, AOD off, Motion and gesture off, animation off, never use gps service, location off, bluetooth off, never play any games, don't use any kind of messenger except for IMO.I just use 2 to 3 hours imo audio call and 1 to 2 hours net surfing using with opera mini and average 30 minutes of voice call. That's it !!! It is just frustrating. Battery life is pathetic...

  • What is your security patch?

  • No you do. We all do. We demand 1080p60fps! No need for 4K no one got the screen or the storage for that, but 60fps? BRING IT!

  • Samsung a50 available with 128 GB ROM 6 GB RAM what is the price and how can i buy it.. Amazon showing only 4GB RAM with 64 GB ROM i want 128 GB RAM with dedicated slot for SD Card

  • A phone that doesnt have its battery consumed any higher by nitro nation and CSR2 could brobably handle them animations. The SoT loss would be some minutes, 15 at max. But I cant guarantee anything withıut trying dont get me wrong.

  • I have tested myself, no need to watch YouTube.

  • I believe animation will consume some battery too.

  • hey, today i received august patch in Egypt. the update is awesome. fingerprint is much much better and faster than before and more accurate. network issues have been resolved and battery draining issue got resolved with july patch. really i have nothing to complaint about.

  • If I dont play any games, I easily get 10 hours of SoT before getting down to %10 If I play games, depending on what and how long I play, SoT varies from 5 to 8 hours

  • Why doesn't anyone notice the UI tho

  • Chines brands gives u powerful chipsets and great cameras at low prices but just remember they can't give you a reliable security like samsung knox gives you, with samsung knox your phone is secure and in case of thefty or lose your phone no one can use it

  • A50 has got 10 hrs sot ...........

  • Thanks bro...... I will do the reverse one you said. But when I checked for updates, it says my mobile is up to date. And still the camera is like what I described. Don't know what I am doing wrong, if others are getting a better camera after update.

  • A50 lasts longer than note 7, check on youtube bro...

  • Changing the developer options is not for Screen time its for faster looking experience (I think animations take some unnecessary time) Also, wanting everything to be spoonfed to you with a golden one isnt really an excuse. Just by tapping some buttons you will get longer SoT, how hard is that?

  • My Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, with the same battery capacity with SAMSUNG Galaxy A50, can get almost 8 hours screen on time (without changing the developer options).

  • Does your device charge with any charger or only your original charger, also how did you change the settings you mentioned.

  • 225 USD in Thailand

  • What do you find unsatisfactory about the camera?

  • I have a DSLR camera that's why I can live with A50's camera, but still It's a wrong resaoning you have,on the contrary you should blame samsung for lackluster performance in mid_rangers camera department

  • Yeah the camera really consumes battery ........

  • If you have a defected A50 , it doesnt mean all A50 phones are bad , you got the defected one . And also not a good reason to stay away from samsung .....

  • Purchased A50 phone from Samsung Smart Cafe. After one day, the flickering issue cropped up. After all efforts at home and at service center, the problem could not be solved. The company too 45 days to give a replacement voucher. With that I took another A50 which has issues of poor touch sensor. The service center after checking it declared it a defective piece. So much for the quality of Samsung Mobile phones. It is advisable to stay away from Samsung.

  • A50 isnt a 350 dollar phone ........

  • Mobile data does consume battery. One of the top 4: Mobile Data usage PUBG Minecraft Camera These consume too much battery.

  • My previous phone, SAMSUNG Galaxy A50 screen on time is less than 6 hours because I used the phone to watch 1,080p online drama (by using mobile data). I don't use the app to check the performance of the phone.

  • You're wrong, camera in A50s is not better at all. How the camera could be better with an aperture of f2.0 ??!!!

  • i forget to mention huawei honor's emui.

  • How about adjusting the settings a little and getting a lot better photos? Or would you rather have everything served to you with a golden spoon and do nothing to change anything?

  • For a 350 dollars phone, its cameras are terrible, worst than any sub 200 dollars phone like my old Y9. Shame. That is why they are launching the A50s, with better cameras.

  • Then buy a DSLR camera bro...

  • Yes, please check into another carrier!!! Got my son T-Mobile for 1 month only, it sucked! Got it because at the the time it was cheaper than adding on to my S acct. I have since fixed that problem. I have been with S (Nextel at the time). Since Dinosaur phones. Will never try another again!!!

  • My Galaxy A20 is a suitable phone for me, minor lag and does the job well. It may be a significantly lower step down than the A50, but I got mine through Metro by T-Mobile, which has 4G about 90% of the time and works as you expect.

  • Definitely, and thats thats the problem with Samsung. To get the full potential of a Samsung phone, you need to work more than you do on other manufacturers. I dont know about you, but I find OneUI smooth enough with little lags from time to time, mostly caused by app failures or the phone being turned on seconds ago. I dont need it 60fps constantly, the smoothness is the price we pay for salvation. I want you to tell me 2 things: -What is the SoT you get? (Can be found in Settings_Device Care_Battery_Battery Usage. After going there tell me the "standby and screen times.) -What is the geekbench score of your A50? (I know even geekbench is rotten but there shouldnt be any problems with the same device comparisions)

  • My experience is before turning on the touch sensitivity, it is not smooth and sometimes it lags when scrolling up and down. And not everybody here know how to turn on the developer option and what they are for.

  • I am working in the smartphone shop for more than 5 years. From SAMSUNG Galaxy J3 (with TouchWiz UI) to J3 (with Experience UI) to A30 and A50 (with One UI), oppo (with Colour OS) and vivo (with FunTouch OS), until now Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (with MIUI) and Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 inside the phone, I am sure that MIUI is the smoothest among all the UI. This is my own experience only and you may not agree with it. It's up to you.

  • No, the improvement is a really minor one, still the camera is not satisfactory

  • Bro, just put your phone in your pocket in a way that its screen is facing outwards and cameras to your leg. Second, download latest software update, it did improve the cams

  • New College student in the US. Just bought A50 with T-mobile as carrier and unlimited plan. Found it slow and not connecting fast, downright out in some locations. Was told that A50 is not compatible with T-mobile 4G tech, but with lower 3G. Solutions suggested: change carrier or another phone. Any thoughts/advice please?

  • The accidental touch protection is way below par. When in my pocket, it opens n number of times. Absolute crap. The biggest let down is the camera. Let Samsung declare that the good cameras are reserved only for high end models. We will atleast start using other brands who offer better camera at lower prices. Even the daylight photos are with high pixelation even at 5% zoom, after shooting the scene. Unless Samsung fixes these two features immediately, this is the worst crap phone at this level.

  • If you are willing to pay 350$ you may check on A70, or save some money and buy this.

  • It seems that another August update has been out , any information ???????

  • Is this the budget phone or is there better bugdet phones to $350 i have a J5 2017 and i really want to upgrade please sugest good budget phones!

  • Good phone!

  • OneUI is smooth it just takes long to do a job (using developer options fixes that) But even if it wasnt, I still would go for OneUI over MIUI because of it being user-friendly and having earlier-than-official-android features. Easier and more fun to use over half-android half-ios lookin MIUI Its all about the one using it tho depends on what the person likes. OneUI is heavily customized and I prefer that. Also Extra sensitivity option is to prevent the screen protector from preventing your usage not faster experience.

  • With an SD730, no duh MIUI would look smoother. How do you prove your statement when you don't have the phones yourself anyway? Tip: Touch sensitivity has nothing to do with UI performance.

  • Does this look like a laggy UI?

  • Tell me what is this security app? Does it protect your system in real time like knox? Also one UI is smooth, and other A50 users will tell you the same. For these people that says "wait until you get burn in", don't worry, burn in takes a long time to happen, and usually I change phone before it (every 3 years I change phone)

  • This I agree that Samsung UI is jittery sometimes. Sometimes homescreen icons fail to respond to touch for few seconds. MIUI is smoother no doubt.

  • Xiaomi Redmi's MIUI is smooth like butter compare to SAMSUNG's One UI even after turn on the touch sensitivity setting. Not just SAMSUNG only, Xiaomi Redmi phones also have its own security app to protect the phone and find it when you lost the phone. Make sure that you have used the phone yourself before you post the false comments here next time. Pop up camera is a new trend for phone now, SAMSUNG also will follow this trend soon.

  • Anoled burn occurs either because of: theuser The defective screen Or the life of the phons being almıst completed (being used for over 4 years or so. I never had an amoled burn. My 2015 j7 is perfectly fine My moms j5 2015 has really bad amoled burns, which is probably because of my mom using it at max brightness (most moms do)

  • This will never happen if you know how to set screen brightness in different situations .....

  • wait until u experience amoled burn&#128516;&#128515;&#128512;

  • Does anyone here play rules of survival using galaxy a50?

  • Yeah thats true ...........

  • Don't give me a headache, mi 9T is more expensive. Also when buying a phone you want good hardware AND software/services. Xiaomi UI is terrible and lacks of cool features that One UI has. Also, xiaomi phones doesn't have services like the ones in A50 (bixby, samsung pass,samsung cloud,samsung knox,samsung find my phone...). Mi 9T has a motorised popup cam that may get stuck, so stick to guaranteed solution (yet a bit intrusive) notch Last point: Mi 9T SAR value is ×5 of A50 , so in the same usage you will get ×5 more radiations over using A50.

  • Its not supporting the type c flashdisk

  • Get a Mi 9T it is much better A50 has lower specs but they both have the same price

  • Turning off useless and not-really-needed features =/= you lame and pathetic argument

  • This is an absurd argument, it varies from phone to phone, if his main interest is battery life, he could get M30 with his insane battery, or even wait for m30s with 6000mAh battery. If your argument is true, why my battery lasts way longer than my friend's huawei phone?

  • The display is simply the best...the overall performance and battery backup is good...it would have been better if it had supported gcam...

  • If you are fine with a 2015 entry level samsung smartphone's display with a not-so-user-friendly stock android, go for mi a3 A50 would be my choice because of the UI

  • No mi 9t is more expensive,and has a crap MIUI. So get cool A50

  • Get mi 9t. It has the same prive as a50

  • Xiaomi Mi A3 is better.

  • SAMSUNG Galaxy phones battery are like that. If you want longer battery life, you should buy the China brands like Xiaomi Redmi or HUAWEI HONOR.

  • What is your averaged usage?

  • Hello I am using this phone from last 3days, here are my experience Excellent display Finger sensor response good after update Excellent battery life Camera performance is good Fast charging Some bugs in UI one Speaker sound good So overall good phone. From Pakistan.

  • A50,it is a really good phone

  • Hello , I am confused between A50 and MI A3 , Both here are same price , any recommendation ?

  • Say that to him I already have A50

  • 1 genius way to preserve your phone's battery life: - shut it down and keep it in the box!

  • Get A50, my friend has s8 and it is not far ahead from my A50. So save some money and get that cool midranger!

  • Here is a genius way to preserve your phone's battery life: - shut your phone down and keep it in the box!

  • Just got August update in PH. FPS is really flawless and detects immediately. Thanks August Security Patch

  • This is a real tough choice, and was for me too But I went for A50 instead because: S8 has curved screen S8 is really small S8 is a bit old meaning it wont get further updates enough for newer features S8 has a smaller battery But well s8 has better performance, screen and camera so I dont know.

  • These are battery life improving tips not problem solvers they may or may not work 1-) Ifyou are not, try using dark mode 2-) Turn Off: Smart Stay 3-) Enable Developer Options and take all animation scales down to .5 4-) Turn Off: Receive Marketing Information 5-) Turn Off: Auto Sync 6-) Enable: Show Device Care app icon. Then use it regularly. 7-) Disable: Google Chrome and all of Google apps and services (if not nevessary). Use instead: Samsung Internet (its better anyway) 8-) Disable almost all unnecessary permissions (believe me, most are useless) 9-) Turn Off: "Allow Background Activity" for all apps (this doesnt prevent them from working in background completely just lowers the amount which is harmless) Again, these are just advices they may or may not work.

  • guys im wondering if i should get an A50 or S8 nowadays (same price) i like the quality build of the S8 and i don't mind a lot with battery and all i use it as a regular phone no gaming or anything same with storage but iam hesitating for days

  • Reset your phone and clear the cache partition.

  • Yes sometimes map doesn't touch, it isn't the phone's hardware problem, but a bug in pubg.

  • Why touch map in pubg lag?

  • Reduced 50% area

  • You have same problem?

  • Go for A70 only if your hands are big enough and you are fine with not having EIS otherwise A70 is superior

  • Prior to using A50, i was using an Honor 8x. It has a 3750 maH battery and 6.5 inch IPS LCD screen compared to the 4000 maH of A50 with 6.4 inch Super Amoled screen. I'm just wondering, how come the 3750 maH beats the 4000 maH of Samsung A50 despite using less screen time on the A50. With moderate use the 8x still had around 55% juice at the end of the my day while with the A50, with around roughly by my estimates 15% less screen time, the power left is around 35%, more or less. I say less screen time because right off the bat, i noticed the battery running down faster, so i decided to lessen my screen time. Take note, i do not use the always on display. Still it consumes a lot of power. Can anyone, or can Samsung enlighten me as to what i could possibly be doing wrong.?

  • Yeah. A50 has EIS

  • Agust update has made such a difference ............

  • Easy to figure out . The answer is simple dude . A70 for sure . If you have enough money for that , go for it .................

  • The A70 or A50 is the question now, please have realistic answers than those who have them, which has a better camera ie better video recording, faster processor and better IPTV, YOU TUBE. Thanks..

  • I have a nillkin glass screen protector - speed and accuracy of reading fingerprint was so-so before 01/08/2019 update. Now fingerprint reading accuracy and speed increased noticeably

  • Having 5 attempts is normal ............

  • Where are you from?

  • This is pubg's issue, better report the bug to tencent games.

  • yesterday i received the august update for the fingerprint i it really improves now is faster than usual but you only have 5 attemps to unlock your device xD

  • After update a50 there is issue in touch in map in pubg how i can solve it?

  • Yeah I bought an A30 for my mother and she is very happy with it. My phone is A50 also great phone

  • It is #

  • Use one of A series to see what a great phone they are ........

  • I could watch around 9.5 or 10 hours of youtube from %100 to %5

  • When is the global release ??????

  • A50s coming in a few days...available for preorder on 7 september. A50 will get a big discount to sell stock...

  • How did you change the Usb settings ?

  • There is a button on top that activates the ultra stabile mode when you slide the slider to video and no it doesnt support googlecamera.

  • Good, is there a way I can activate it or that ultra stabilisation is activated by default? Also does that work with Google camera?

  • Yes it does. It has Ultra-Stabilization mode as well

  • Just one question guys, does the A50 have EIS(electronic image stabilisation) ?

  • Click on adaptive power saving mode Under power mode for increasing ur battery life

  • Disable fast unlock it fixes this

  • The way of consuming battery matters alot ...........

  • Yeah exactly .................

  • Have it for 4 months now, with normal usage I get well over 10 hours of SoT as long as I dont play any games. My only problems with games was minecraft beta not being smooth but.... its beta... Have a friend of mine that saw me using A50. He bought it as well, and says the battery life is good too But dont get me wrong this doesnt mean your battery life will be great too Im a heavy optimiser I force the limits of performance and battery life of every phone I own. If you know how to use a phone, it will satisfy you more....

  • face unlocke is fake dont open eye n unlock phone what iz thiz.

  • A50 is a great phone with solid battery life. I also had the Note FE in the past which had tremendous camera and A50 can't beat that.

  • In fact of having a 4000 capacity battery , A50 battery is weak but it is satisfying and wont let you down .........

  • Don't worry, most complaints about battery are fake, I own A50 for 2 months till now, still like the day I bought it ;)

  • I have the 6/128 gb First day with it. Run the updates after getting it. So far the battery is good. I hope it stays that way as some said it is not really good battery. The fingerprint scanner also works better coming from Note FE. I haven't tested the camera yet. But lowlight selfie renders better result from my Note FE. The back camera will need to test it out and I'm excited to shoot the ultrawide.

  • When using the the Samsung A50 phone as a phone, the keypad goes dark after 10 seconds. When calling anyone with automated prompts, the screen goes dark before the prompts usually finish. Must hit the power bar to end a call to get to the hangup button. Checked all settings, went to Samsung, went to several on line help sites, was told this might be a battery saving issue. I would like to be able change that setting and to be able set the timeout decision for myself as an option.

  • Lol! My complain just sorted. The problem about charging was in my usb settings. It had changed to USB controlled by Connected Devices Instead of USB controlled by This Phone. So the charger was recognized as USB only

  • Glad to hear .......

  • ;-)

  • Congratulations bro

  • Also in Iran and Emarat and so the others in the middle east .....

  • Thank you . I dont know that i can believe it or not ......... it is like a dream for me ....... hahaha ........

  • At last i got the Night mode...from Kuwait.

  • Congratulations Middle East A50 owners, July update is rolling out. Got mine 10 mins ago.

  • Congratulations!! Finally you got it :-D

  • I won't :P lol.

  • Me too, but I think we got both patches together, because camera quality got improved, plus we got night mode and super sliw mo.

  • SOT*

  • Whats your OST with normal use?

  • I just got the july update ten minutes ago after all ((actually after 3 months)) so it is good for me to see samsung hasnt forgotten about us in middle east but there is a point to care about : july update brought me june update features not the july's . So there is a bad interference in A50 updates with different ROM of countries . I hope to see a consistant way of releasing updates for A50 so then it wont be that much confusing .............

  • 60 Hz like other midrangers, it is enough for gaming no worries.

  • So i prefer waiting ........

  • Im not interested in flashing my phone ......

  • just tested it for 1 week... battery life is really poor, one day lifetime, max 2 days if you DONT USE IT... i have a HTC 12 that makes it to 3 days with normal usage... - no front led for notifications... - cameras are average - only good thing is the amoled screen

  • btw what is the display refresh rate for a50?

  • Consider contacting samsung, we are not technicians here. Wish you luck

  • No NFC function, Chezzz~~

  • No

  • it will be better with updates

  • i flash it with the July update because i waited so long so you must do it by yourself

  • Is this water resistant?

  • Still in May ........

  • Me too its charge too slow and the flash light works only when my a50 on the charger plz i need help ?

  • Great,I'm still on july update, I expect to receive August update in the next few weeks.

  • The only downside I had with this phone was the slow finger print scanner but after the August update I must say that it's freakishly fast and takes like half of a second

  • Notify me of the outcome

  • Ok thanks buddy

  • Try deleting the current ones and register your fingerprints again

  • Retry to download the updates again. It will work.

  • Just update it again, it is lightning fast now

  • After August update no more fingerprint unlock

  • Fingerprint has improved incredibly after the august update

  • Got update later evening here in Philippines. > 1st time the phone hangs > fingerprint improve (fast) > earpiece, loadspeaker and mic are not working properly (but test using #*0#* its ok)

  • Downloading the august update. Samsung is going all in with the A50 glad I bought this

  • Yes bro. Smart switch works like magic you can update using that just update and wait untill it finishes, or you can just tap update and wait untill update starts after that you can check manually on your software update you will see there is update available .

  • can you help me with how you flashed the Indian rom? and does it support Arabic?

  • What is the other simple method? Smart switch?

  • Thank's for considering me to wait 'i have already updated my A50 with july update five hours ago it did'nt show up in software update in settings but i use another simple methode that will do the work&#128523;

  • From Syria too.. Just flashed Indian firmware and it's like magic.. Faster fingerprint recognition &#128526;

  • Try turning "Smart Stay" off (from advanced features)

  • Good point bro.

  • Get the 2nd August update with August security patch today here in Philippines with model number A505GN. This is the 2nd update of August. With fingerprint sensor improvement but not mention in changelog.

  • Did you manually check? Sometimes auto update doesn't work. If you haven't got anything, then all what you have to do is wait...

  • Battery draining faster after August 2019 update

  • Am still on May update i did'nt get all the other updates that samsung released why?

  • When is the August update coming to Ghana

  • Hope to get August update soon ........

  • the Mi 9 SE camera is better. The sensor 1/2 inch big so the photos have a lot less noise. You can also take 48MP photos which provide a good amount of details. The OLED Screen is still an advantage. But the Mi costs 80€ more, so you get what you pay for.

  • Valo laglo sune....I also got August security patch but i think so it's battery drains little bit fast as before but i am ok with it.

  • Try turning smart stay off from "Advanced features" this might help

  • I got July update a week ago in Syria I hope we get the August update soon because I heard August update makes the fingerprint faster

  • I have fix the problem by deleting google play app data

  • When will Indonesia get the August update?

  • Before August update it was a complete mess. 4g sucked.. Fingerprint scanner was horrible. But 3 days ago I got August update and 4g issue resolved. Under display fingerprint works smoothly (though not blazing fast but it is fast enough. And it can recognise my fingerprint like 90-95%. Before august update the Recognition rate was like 50-60%) So yea August update is fantastic. I wrote some acrimonious comments before ( I think that was justified cause a week ago it is completely useless) And the most wonderful thing is that my reddish tint on display has just gone &#128513;. But after August update my battery drains a little faster. It is not by big margin though just a bit. Good job Samsung. I'm from Bangladesh. Sorry for my English.

  • I did the same, its July Update

  • I have a new problem for the first time on my lovely A50. It does not recognize charger connected / doesn't charger until I restart. It started 3 days ago. I don't know if its because i have been playing too much PubG of late or what. I have the July update. After restarting, it charges normally and discharges normally

  • Still in may ........

  • Sry my mistake...

  • hey guys, from Egypt here , i connected my phone to my computer today and i got an update notification on smart switch. but it didn't say which patch level. will update today and tell you. and for info this update is not available over the air when i tried to update from the phone it didn't show any update

  • It is not better than Kirin 970.

  • Push the august security update to singapore if you are reading this.

  • try restarting your phone if still no good then you may need to reset the phone & if this still no good too then maybe your phone's nand is corrupt & need to be sent to samsung for repair. i hope mine lasts at least 2 years as it has no warranty :(

  • Retry, sometimes this happens, if this thing remains, contact samsung for help.

  • You must have something running in the background, or a virus slowing down your phone. A50 has a capable processor better than honor 10

  • July update is not installed, I get software update failed to install error , anyone can help?

  • For me it work realy nice and so smooth even i ahve the 4g version i was thinking to change it to hight performance

  • Guys. Who plays mobile legends here? I have adjusted my settings at "medium" and try to play it. I can't play really well cause it lags and freezes. But even though i change it back to the lowest graphics, i still experience these things. Does the same thing happen to you? It is very bad compare when i play with my honor 10

  • Well nothing was open just turned of from the charge but i think it loses after charging some too

  • yes it has full screen gestures

  • If wifi is on (4g makes things even worse) and apps are working in the background it is normal.

  • Yes.

  • Even if realme 3 has 3 or 4 fps more than A50, with that screen it would leave a bad taste. If you dont care about the screen it doesnt matter but they both will give you a decent experience when it comes to performance (higher geekbench points=/=better gaming experience just sayin)

  • For performance realme without any doubt

  • Is this normal i lost 4points from the battery didnt use it it was on charge then turn it off in morning i was a wake 4 charge was lost?

  • Define "heavy gamer". If it is pubg it will be fine on A50.

  • Samsung a50 or realme 3 pro for performance and battery, iam aheavy gamer . So what's your advice ? Thanks in advance

  • Oh the lowest settings? Doesnt fall down from 60fps with that

  • does this phone have full screen gesture? thanks

  • that's great, i am ok with smooth, cannot be bothered with hdr :) thank you very much.
