I finally bought this smartphone two days ago, after busting my ass and saving money for four months. Got the 6/128 GB variant, and it's fantastic! Currently planning on buying a gimbal and start my RUclips or videography career. Wish me luck! 😁
I have both the Note 9 and A50 and I must say for a phone that cost under $300 compared to a $1,250 Note 9 the A50 really holds its ground against flagships
4 years later I'm still using my samsung a50 with Android 11 software which is still supported today and its still going strong it may have glitches but the phone still provides me the service that i expect of it like calling, receiving calls, texting and multitasking aswell. Well done samsung
I have a Samsung A50 and it actually has the Dolby Atoms sound on it so you can manually set it to music, voice, and ect or put it on audio. And it has a super fast charge I highly recommend it
pluvillion I’m thinking buying one, I currently have iPhone 8 Plus. But I am ready to get me a galaxy phone. I don’t have no need for a iPhone anymore. Nobody FaceTime me anyway 😂😂🤷🏽♀️.
This phone is still working properly fine after 2 years.. I love this phone. I use it everytime. No issues on display only minimal scratches that's all.
I previously had the LG stylo 4 which felt like a mediocre phone. But when I came across the Galaxy A50, my life changed for the better. A high performance phone for under $400? Definitely worth it.
I wish more phone reviews including the basics of phones, such as call quality, and microphone quality. That's one of the big things I look for. It's sad
After much research I purchased A50. This phone isn't $1200.00 quality but a mid priced phone that delivers excellent performance for the money. I have no regrets about buying this phone.
Hey guys how was your experience with it ? I am a heavy gamer and social media user and looking for a good phone with a great battery that could stay with me for 2 years minimum without any lags or problems . So is the a50 suitable for me ?
Samsung's recent updates to the A50 have improved the issues touched on in review in particular the on screen fingerprint scanner and HDR camera settings.
Yeah. I would buy Xiaomi tho they aren't sold here xD. And on top of all of that I did get one from other country and I am currently using it and it's terrible so rip.
I can't wait to get mine. Ordered it. Great price, better camera phone than my old Note 8. Instead of paying the 199.00 for the insurance claim, 100.00 more & I get a huge upgrade. So worth it.
Thank you very much for this review!!! I need to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy A5 and this is what I have pre-ordered!!! I was nervous because I didn't know much about the phone. You have eased my mind and helped me get quite excited for it to arrive though!!
I also switched from A5. Can you tell me your experience? I have it just one day but I have impression that baterry will not hold longer because screen is bigger.
@@tigershenanigans6878 im going to upgrade soon too and i think i will go with a70 but i have not yet hold it in my hand so i will see if its too big then i will go with the a50.
I've seen a number of reviews for different phones from you and I have one question!: what phone would you recommend that has the best camera? Most reviews seem to have a lot of negatives on cam
It's a great phone, I have one. Reviews are not always accurate and are in the eyes or ears of the beholder. For Example, GSM Arena in their written review said that the vdo quality at 1080p was among the best they'd seen - Personally I think it's terrible compared even to my aging Huawei P9 Lite, however install Open Camera and its a world of difference. I always thought that a camera on a phone is only subject to the hardware, but that's not quite true, the app itself can play a huge role in pic/vdo quality. Also, with Open Camera , you can shoot 4k too, but not with the std camera app. GSM Arena also said that the phones music/audio speaker lacks high end and is not that great - it isn't great, but as an ex audiophile, who's fussy about sound quality, the A50 's speaker is not too bad at all, what it is lacking in a bit is bass, but it has plenty of high and mid range frequencies. I think the A50 will hold its own for many years against the competition.
Watching on my Motorola Razr V3 I just got the other day in 2005. Not sure what is happening in this video I can't really see or hear anything but I just wanted to say hai. Getting used to the new number text keypad. Very innovative. Excited for what is to come next. I can't imagine what we will have in the next 15 years when we hit 2020. Mind boggling :-)
My little cousin just got this phone on his birthday a couple days ago. Watching these videos to see if this phone is good or not and I’m already pretty impressed Edit: This is coming from an iPhone user
as a new owner of galaxy a50 , i can assure you that charging speed is fucking fast , i can get 50% in 15-20 min , less than 1 hour for full charge , one of the main reasons to buy this beast , and it feels just like Samsung S8+
I've got this phone very good. Large screen very good camera face I'd works like a charm fingerprint not so well but does the job don't need it anyways. Not to mention it is gorgeous
Nice Review and to the point. Finally i got the video for Galaxy A50 . The indian reviewers are pathetic , they should learn to go more to the point. Nice Job done GSMarena.
I hike and in case of accident or health issue, I would like my fellow hiker be able to use my phone. Can I opt for no finger print or face recognition ?
At 299 unlocked on Amazon this was a great deal. Blew my s9 out of the water after I spent almost 1000 on that one Update : please don't throw it on the water 😂💦
I am amazed at how people nit-pick the camera quality or other things in phones. "This photo has one pixel too dark", "the response is 1 nanosecond too late" Well hello Mr Scientist! You will still get a photo of people's face and the phone will still connect a call. That's all that is needed.
Hi! I can help you improve, please, follow my tips and try it again 1: go on settings and enable High sensitivity display (you should enable when put glass protector) 2: Go into settings, delete your old fingerprint, and scan it again with the screen protection on, and when it arrives at 70%, slide your finger slightly when scanning, so it can take your scan more accurately and faster.. (Sorry, english not my main language, if further explainations are needed, feel free to ask me ^^)
I am watching with samsung galaxy a50 , i think is the best from samsung with this price , design is number 2 but performance is no 1 ... There's a lot hidden features on this phone .. feels like s10 hehe
