The A50 averaged better runtimes than our other comparison devices too, although it finished in second place to the Moto G7 Plus or the Mi 9 in three of the four tests that we conducted. Our review sample lasted for hours in our practical Wi-Fi test, during which we run a script that simulates the load required to render websites.
In short, the A50 should last even a long day of constant use between charges and will operate under sustained load for nearly 6 hours before needing to be plugged in. Our review unit takes just over 2 hours to recharge fully with the included charger. The Samsung Galaxy A50 is an excellent midrange smartphone. It draws on the successes of its predecessor, like with its triple rear-facing cameras, but it blends these with a more modern design and an improved SoC.
The A50 has few shortcomings, although its fingerprint sensor takes longer to recognise fingers and has a lower detection rate than conventional sensors do. Moreover, its GPS module is oddly inaccurate and its Wi-Fi performance on occasion was worse than its predecessor.
Great screen, long battery life, decent cameras. The Samsung Galaxy A50 delivers in all key areas and is a triumph of a midrange smartphone. Samsung has also compromised on some areas like limiting LTE performance below what the SoC can achieve, which seems arbitrary. The inclusion of a fixed focus front-facing sensor makes little sense too.
