Hands on: Samsung Galaxy A50 hands on review

The big brother of the underdogs

Large display ; Fast user interface

Dim display ; Camera effects performed poorly

The Samsung Galaxy A50 is a big and bold device, which was very quick to navigate and use, but we're yet to be convinced by its camera capabilities.

Samsung Galaxy A50 review: Still one of the best budget phones

Both phones cost less than $400, but the Galaxy A50's camera and battery win.

The Good ; The Samsung Galaxy A50 has a solid camera, an in-screen fingerprint reader, a headphone jack and a long-lasting battery -- all at an affordable price.

The Bad ; The phone can be buggy at times, its maximum video resolution is only 1080p and the speaker quality is tinny.

The Bottom Line Though not water repellant like the Moto G7, the Galaxy A50 is worth the extra $50 for its superior camera and enduring battery.

Samsung Galaxy A50

Like the Galaxy S10 range but can't afford one? Well check out the Galaxy A50 which has triple rear cameras and an embedded fingerprint scanner without an eye-watering price. Here's our full review.

Samsung Galaxy A50 review: A brilliant mid-ranger at a great price

Incredible value, Samsung's mid-range Galaxy is seriously worth a look

Looks great ; Super screen with a built-in fingerprint reader ; Solid camera

Can’t shoot 4K ; Selfies get beautified, even with beauty mode off

Samsung Galaxy A50 review: Value flagship

The Samsung Galaxy A50 has a beefy battery, a big screen, a slick software experience, and solid performance. At just $350, it's an exceptional phone -- but it faces stiff competition from the likes of Google's Pixel 3a. Here's our Galaxy A50 review.

Excellent, modern-looking AMOLED screen ; Decent performance ; Capable, versatile camera ; Day-long battery life ; Affordable

The Galaxy A50 is the budget Samsung phone of your dreams

Samsung Galaxy A50 review

The Galaxy A series has become even more diversified this year. Samsung has already introduced the Galaxy A10, A20, A30, A40, A50, A70, and A80...

Solid build and stunning paintjob

Lacks water-resistance

The addition of the One UI is welcome on a midranger, and we like the direction where it is going. Yes, the Galaxy A50 isn't water-resistant as its predecessors, but it excels elsewhere and makes up for all omissions with a very competitive price. We...

Samsung Galaxy A50

The Samsung Galaxy A50 offers a handsome design and decent midrange specs, but it's not quite enough to compete with the Google Pixel 3a.

Attractive design. Gorgeous AMOLED display. Solid battery life.

Average performance. Mediocre speaker. Poor fingerprint sensor.

The Samsung Galaxy A50 is a solid midrange phone with good looks, a gorgeous OLED display, and solid battery life. If you're a die-hard Samsung fan in search of a good midrange handset, this is your best bet. If not, you should consider the Pixel 3a....

Samsung Galaxy A50 review: A $350 phone that gives Galaxy a whole new meaning

The Samsung Galaxy A50 is more than a fantastic $350 phone, it's a recipe for a budget phone that you'll love like a premium one.

Big display that's among the best in its class ; Great design with a headphone jack ; Battery life is fantastic

In-screen fingerprint sensor is finicky ; Camera processing doesn't live up to hardware

All of a sudden, budget phones are the rage. Sales of premium phones dip even as prices continue to rise—the Galaxy Note 10+ starts at $1,100—so it’s not surprising that Android phone makers are looking to the lower end of the spectrum for growth....
