Samsung Galaxy A50 review: Worthy mid-range phone competing with Poco F1

7.jpg

Once a midrange series in the Samsung’s smartphones line-up, the Galaxy A-series has undergone a makeover in 2019 and the new range covers both budget and midrange phones. Leading the charge is Samsung Galaxy A50, which seems to have been built taking cues from the premium S-series and budget M-series.

The Galaxy A50 is Samsung’s first mid-range offering to boast an in-display fingerprint sensor and U-shaped notch screen. The phone also has a triple camera module and gradient reflective design on the back, making it a feature-rich proposition in the entry-level midrange segment.

Samsung Galaxy A50 key specifications:
Display: 6.4-inch super AMOLED of fullHD+ resolution
Rear camera: 25MP wide (f/1.7), 8MP ultra-wide (f/2.2) and 5MP depth lens
Front camera: 25MP of f/2.0
Processor: Exynos 9610
RAM and storage: 4GB/6GB and 64GB
Battery: 4,000 mAh

Design
Premium or budget, gradient reflective design is an emerging trend in smartphone space and the Galaxy A50 showcases its colour reflective properties. The black colour unit I have reviewed has a greyish back panel that reflects rainbow-like colours with a tinge of blue predominantly covering the entire space. In reality, the black colour model does not show any black colour properties. Even the chassis looks blue in colour, making one wonder why the phone colour is marked as black?
