Samsung Galaxy A50 Review | Has Samsung Won Back the Mid-Range Segment? By Gadgets 360

Samsung has finally decided to strike back at his Chinese competitors with a brand-new Galaxy M series and the reimagined galaxy AC news today we're reviewing the top-of-the-line model from the latter, the new galaxy 850. It promises quite a few features that could tempt buyers, including an in display fingerprint sensor and three rear cameras, but all of that comes at a higher price than any current M series model. Let's get started with our review. The main attraction of the galaxy. A 50 is a six point. Four inch Super AMOLED screen Samsung has done well to try and trim the borders around the screen and the rounded corners are very in keeping with current trends.

They're still noticeable chin, but the look is pretty slick overall for a relatively low cost form among the series. Phones, one feature: that's exclusive to the galaxy: a 50 is the in display fingerprint sensor. Unfortunately, it isn't the same ultrasonic sensor that the company has used in the flagship, Galaxy, S, 10 and s 10 plus, but that would have been expecting far too much. Samsung hasn't stated exactly what material the rear of this phone is made of, but it feels like plastic or polycarbonate. The panel curves slightly to meet the metal rim, and there are no sharp edges anywhere.

The rear panel of our black review unit was more like a translucent gray, with a slightly iridescent quality to it. That makes light refract into rainbow patterns. You'll see this especially at the edges of the phone when you move it around under strong light. Unfortunately, the surface is very glossy, and so it gets completely smudged pretty much the moment you touch it. Some buyers will be disappointed that there's no room for a notification LED on the front of this phone, but the Super AMOLED panel supports an always-on mode, so you can still check notifications at a glance.

As far as comfort cause the galaxy. A 50 is quite easy to use and doesn't feel too heavy or thick at all, if it's nicely in one hand and isn't slippery either. The Galaxy, m10 and m20 were criticized by some of our readers for their bare-bones retail packages and Samsung seems to have heard them the slightly more premium. Galaxy 50 does include a headset and a plastics lift case in addition to a sim eject, pin, 15 watt charger and USB type-c cable. The galaxy a-50 has a six point: four-inch full HD plus Super AMOLED panel, which is shared with some of its siblings, but the outscore Samsung Enos 96 10 SOC is a cut above the X in our 7904 that the others use.

There are two variants of the galaxy, a 50, but the only difference between them is Ram. You can choose between 4 GB and 6 GB with storage, for both is the same at 64 GB, at least for the options launched in India. As of now, the four thousand William hour battery is smaller than the five thousand William hour battery that the less expensive galaxy m30. Thus, factors might confuse buyers a bit. The galaxy, a 50 runs Android 9 with the new 1 UI.

During our review that we received an update to the February 2019 Android security patch 1 UI is generally an improvement in terms of design, and it does look quite modern Samsung says it has focused on usability for phones with large screens, but what that means is. It has reduced information density throughout and main text and icons everywhere, enormous with loads of padding between elements. Some of Samsung's wallpapers appear to have been designed deliberately to cover up the camera, not at the top spammy notifications and ads on the lock screen are still in issue with the galaxy a 50. Although the initial setup process does let you choose to disable lock screen stories, the default Samsung apps are still spammy and now there's Amazon shopping in addition to daily hunt, several of Samsung's own apps, Microsoft, Office and LinkedIn, and, of course, Google's apps as well. Shortly after getting started with our device, we were tricked into tapping a notification asking us to complete the setup process.

This turned out to be from a background process called ion sauce which proceeded to install 6, spammy and unnecessary apps. Even the dead, simple flashlight app showed multiple ads, including full screen interstitials, blocking the 1 toggle button on screen its sole function. This is a continuing disappointment. Samsung is heavily promoting the galaxy, a 50 Super AMOLED screen, and it really is crisp bright and vibrant. Blacks are deep and colors really pop, but without being over saturated.

Everything looks great right from the UI to videos and games. The phone single speaker can get very loud, but sound, isn't very clear. Music and voices are grating at high volumes, and while you can use this phone for the occasional video clip, don't expect to enjoy a full movie. The in display fingerprint sensor will be a big draw for a lot of people, but it does have its sites. Recognition is fairly slow, and it often took two seconds or more for the phone to unlock itself, which is just enough to be annoying.

You can use it to unlock this phone even when it's in standby, but it will take trial and error to learn exactly where to place. Your finger there's also face recognition, which can be a lot quicker at times generally. Today use it was fine with no hiccups or slowdowns. Our review unit was the version with 4gb of RAM, and we were happy, but you might want to pay the three thousand rupees extra for the six GB version. If you are planning to hold on to this phone for the next several years, we played pub G mobile and asphalt 9 legends at the high settings, and we weren't disappointed battery life can easily stretch to a day and a half with normal use.

We took lots of photos and videos stream. The movie played a few games and surf the web throughout the day starting in the morning, and we had about 30% left at night. The included charger took us up from 0 to 11 percent in about 10 minutes and exactly 30 percent in 30 minutes, the Samsung Galaxy 50 does boast of a lot of photography features starting with the triple camera module along the rear. The primary camera has a 25 megapixel sensor. The secondary camera is for wide shots and has an 8 megapixel sensor with 123 degree fields of view and the third one is a standard, 5 megapixel depth sensor.

The single front-facing camera has a 25 megapixel sensor and F 2.0 aperture Samsung touts a number of interesting features, including a live focus mode for portraits 480, fps, slow motion, video recording, hyperlapse mode for time-lapse videos AR mo T's, Pro, Mode and intelligent scene optimization. You can switch between the standard and wide-angle cameras before you begin shooting videos for naught, while recording speaking of which video recording with both the front and rear cameras, goes up to 20 336 by 1080 pixels, which is a full HD Flash resolution. You can change the type of background blur in portrait, shots from the standard bogie to assorted, filter effects and there's even a fake, dolly zoom effect that you can make gives out of edge detection was quite cut. With the background between our subjects, torsos and arms was not cut out. We were generally happy with the photos that the galaxy a-50 took.

It tended to overexpose brightly lit parts of the frame in the daytime, but overall photos came out. Looking quite good with a lot of detail. The wide-angle camera gives you a lot of flexibility and is actually surprising to see how much more you can fit into a frame when standing in exactly the same spot. Quality is definitely lower, though, and there's media distortion that isn't just limited to the edges of the frame performance at night was decent, but not great photos might look good on the phone's own screen and when posted online, but they don't really hold up when examined at full size. There can be some motion blurring due to the shutters staying open a bit too long.

If there's enough light around close-ups taken at night are still very usable. Videos short while we were standing came out looking great with none of the focus, hunting or wobbling. That effect slower and phone cameras in the daytime motion was crisp and details were good. The wide-angle camera gives everything of fish eye effect and videos slightly darker, but still smooth, there's no official mention of video stabilization, but we found that footage was still very usable at night things or a large shake here and videos did not have much detail. The secondary camera produced dark blotch, a video.

The front camera also has a live focus mode, but without the effects you can change the blur intensity after taking a shot, but edge detection isn't great. The default beautification makes shots, look artificial and turning it off requires multiple taps. Unfortunately, for Samsung the Galaxy a 50 was its starting price of $19,990 phone, which features the top-end Qualcomm snapdragon 845 processors. That's obviously the better choice of phone, if you're a gamer or one the smoothest possible experience, but it doesn't have three rear cameras or a modern onscreen design. Another big competitor is Samsung's own galaxy, m33, n-- up to twice the storage space and a larger battery, but a weaker processor standard, fingerprint sensor and a less flashy rear panel.

If you aren't too fussed about camera quality, the Galaxy m34, 5000, rupees less, we think a lot of people will find the Samsung Galaxy a 50, interesting enough to consider seriously. It has all the major features you'd want to show off today with no serious shortcomings. We do think that scope for improvement with the cameras and software, but overall Samsung is really showing that it knows how to bring back the fight thanks for watching that was our review of the new Samsung Galaxy, a 50 for more reviews and videos like this do visit us at Cassius, 360.
