Samsung Galaxy A50 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.0/10
Verdict
In my books, the Galaxy A50 is Samsung`s best attempt yet to fend off the Chinese competition. The smartphone offers a gorgeous design, a stunning display, long-lasting battery life, excellent cameras, and good performance, all while being priced quite competitively. The handset starts at Rs 19,990, which honestly, is a really good price from Samsung. In fact, after a long time, I don`t feel that buyers have to pay a premium to get a capable smartphone from the company. Unfortunately, the pricing is still not competitive enough to sway gamers away from the Snapdragon 845-toting Poco F1. Mor...

In my books, the Galaxy A50 is Samsung`s best attempt yet to fend off the Chinese competition.

The handset starts at Rs 19,990, which honestly, is a really good price from Samsung. In fact, after a long time, I don`t feel that buyers have to pay a premium to get a capable smartphone from the company. Unfortunately, the pricing is still not competitive enough to sway gamers away from the Snapdragon 845-toting Poco F1. Moreover, the recently launched Redmi Note 7 Pro could give the A50 a run for its money too as it features a slightly more powerful CPU, comes with Sony`s 48MP imaging sensor and costs much less.However, for all the Samsung loyalists, the Galaxy A50 is a stellar buy, and if this is a sign of things to come, I can`t wait for the more offerings from the South Korean giant in the affordable and mid-budget segments.
Pros
- Excellent display
- Capable cameras
- Streamlined software experience
Cons
- Performance could`ve been better
- Overshadowed by the competition
Design and display

Samsung has a penchant for designing good-looking smartphones, but it refrained from bringing that to the affordable segment. The Galaxy A50 turns that notion on its head. The device comes clad in a polycarbonate shell, but I'm willing to bet that the smartphone's glossy finish will fool you into thinking that it's made of glass. The device looks straight out of a chic boutique store and it comes in numerous peppy hues. However, buyers residing in India will be limited to Black, Blue and White colourways of the device. That's a bit of a bummer, as the bright orange variant of the smartphone I checked out at MWC Barcelona looked other-worldly.

The Samsung Galaxy A50 is backed by the company's in-house Exynos 9610 octa-core processor which in the case of my review unit, worked alongside 4GB of RAM and 64GB of user-expandable storage. However, buyers looking for a bit more grunt can opt for a 6GB RAM variant of the device too.

Samsung is no stranger to furnishing its devices with multiple cameras and the Galaxy A50 too features a triple-camera array towards the back comprising a 25MP f/1.7 standard shooter, an 8MP wide-angle lens with a 123-degree of field of view and a 5MP depth sensor. For selfies, the smartphone comes with a 25MP f/2.0 sensor.
