Around back, the A50 looks much like the iPhone XS , with a vertical camera setup in the top left corner. The best thing to do right now is to bring the phone to a service center and have it checked. It can be difficult to hear audio when outdoors in noisy environments, even with the volume cranked to the max. Yes This phone does not have wireless charging capabilities.
I don't have many complaints about the A50's overall performance. There were times, when multitasking and moving between multiple apps, that I noticed some delays and overall slower response, but that was temporary.
At no point during my testing did I feel that the A50 is underpowered. It's not going to offer the same level of performance as the Note 10, but that's expected. Using the in-display fingerprint sensor has been hit or miss for me. Sometimes it works quickly and without issue, but other times I had to try multiple times before the sensor would recognize my registered fingerprint.
I haven't had similar issues with the same fingerprint sensor setup on the Galaxy S10 or Note 10, but I did have similar issues with the same sensor on the OnePlus 7T. Samsung estimates the A50 can achieve up to 35 hours of battery life. I wasn't able to squeeze that much battery life from the A50, but I can say that the battery lasts an entire day.
I took the A50 along with me on a recent trip, and despite a long travel day, the battery wasn't something I had to worry about. I had the same experience on a typical day of use, which is roughly 16 hours from the time I wake up until I go to bed. The A50's battery isn't an issue.
As for the camera, I've been impressed. The combination of three cameras on the back adds features that have typically been reserved for far more expensive phones. Having an ultra-wide-angle camera is one of my favorite camera features by far that been added to phones in the last few years, and the f A50 not only has it, but that the photos I've captured with it look good. I do wish Samsung had used more than an 8-megapixel camera for the ultra-wide-angle camera, but it'll definitely get the job done.
The default camera is quick and takes crisp photos. Even the Live Focus feature— which adds depth to photos by blurring the background, something a lot of phones struggle with — has done a fantastic job in capturing a subject's face without blurring the edges of hair or an ear.
The Samsung A50 experience can be boiled down to this: It's nearly the same as having a more expensive Galaxy phone, but at a fraction of the price. From the interface to the fingerprint sensor, to the camera, to the inclusion of Samsung Pay, the A50 is a fully capable, more affordable version of the Galaxy S Sure, it's not as fast, and the camera may not be of the same caliber when you start to nitpick — but for someone who is looking to save money on a phone that will take high-quality photos without skimping on battery life or performance, the A50 is it.
I recommend getting the unlocked model, so if you need to switch carriers down the road, you don't have to worry about whether or not your phone is compatible. You'll pay based on the value of your trade in. You'll find new and refurbished iPhones and Androids on Amazon you may also see "renewed" in the description.
