Available storage GB Available storage Storage that is left available to the user once the operating system and applications that come with the phone are installed and set up.
RAM is where the phone keeps the pieces of the operating system and applications that are currently being used. It is much faster than storage and an SD card so if you have enough for all your needs the phone will respond much more quickly.
Memory card slot Memory card slot Phones that have slots that accept memory cards, typically microSD, allow you to conveniently expand storage capacity by up to GB, and sometimes even more. The removable card may be hard to access. Samsung called the phone material "glastic" since it is a very glossy plastic that looks almost like the glass back phones we see on the flagships. I'm perfectly fine with an attractive plastic phone since it is less likely to break when dropped.
It is still quite a fingerprint magnet, but wipes off easily too. The large 6. The top and side bezels are only about a millimeter while the bottom bezel is about three times the width of these other bezels. The fingerprint scanner is also under the display, but uses an optical one as we see on the OnePlus 7 Pro and other Android phones. It's been more reliable for me than the ultrasonic one on the Note 10 Plus so I have zero issues with using this type of fingerprint scanner.
I would have been perfectly fine with a rear capacitive one like we see on the Note 9 too. There is no Bixby button either. The power button can be configured to launch Bixby if you desire though, again just like the Note 10 series. On the bottom we find a 3. The mono speaker is loud enough for reasonably watching videos and holding conference calls.
There is nothing on the top of the phone. Swinging around the back we see the two cameras and depth sensor in a triple opening vertical array with the flash positioned below the depth sensing lens.

The screen is amazing although palm rejection does not work half the time. D'Tech Mobile. White balance is fairly neutral in flash shots, too, and although some slight desaturation is evident in flash-only shots, overall color rendering remains acceptable.
Samsung branding is also found on the glastic back. The May security patch is currently found on this test unit, which is a bit disappointing since Samsung has shown a solid track record of security patch updates on the flagship phones. Not sure if there is a challenge updating an Xfinity Mobile model, but we should at least see these appear one or two months after general release.
One UI is a great update to previous versions of the Samsung Experience and is quickly becoming my favorite non-Pixel flavor of Android. LG should pay attention to what Samsung has done and take a hard look at its UI with future releases. One UI offers a clean user experience with gesture-based navigation options too. I finally moved away from the standard three-button Android navigation controls and am embracing full screen gestures on Android as I did with iOS.
Thankfully, Samsung still includes its own apps, such as email, calendar, contacts, image gallery, music player, and web browser software. All of these offer more than the stock Google apps, and while others move to purely stock Google apps, there is still a ton of value in these Samsung applications that offer more for the enterprise user. This phone is not loaded with bloatware so the internal storage is yours to fill up with your favorite apps, games, and data. If you are not a Comcast internet subscriber, then you are not qualified to sign up for Xfinity Mobile service.
If you are an internet subscriber, then there are two plan offerings available for your consideration. You can sign up for a plan by the gig or sign up as an unlimited customer. There are no activation fees, no minimum contracts, and if you bring your own qualified phone you get a SIM card for free. These data allotments are shared between all of the lines you enabled, with a limit of five lines per account.
For my family of five, I could not have any tablets or smartwatches connected if each person had a phone line account. You can setup unlimited service for select phones and then have the rest share the By the Gig data allotment too. Given that some of my family members currently use more than 10GB of data each, I might be able to have a couple of unlimited phones and then the rest under a By the Gig option, but so far my T-Mobile One Military option, with free Netflix, is unbeatable.
There are some fantastic deals with Xfinity Mobile for those who bring their own phone or buy one of the new phones on promotion. Xfinity Mobile offers deals as pre-paid gift cards after the purchase is made and service is setup.
I've seen excellent coverage in Washington State with Xfinity Mobile and given that just about everyone I know is on Xfinity in this area there are plenty of hotspot options available. Verizon is excellent when hiking, biking, or enjoying the outdoors in Washington and given that T-Mobile likes to give my number away I will continue to evaluate my situation and consider Xfinity Mobile as a future wireless carrier. I loved the hardware and the Galaxy A50 will be added to my arsenal of recommendations when family and friends ask me about affordable phones.
