Samsung Galaxy A50 an affordable smatrphone

Sometimes, a phone can surprise you. The Samsung Galaxy A50 bucks the trend of Samsung devices with enticing specifications and features with desirable price points.

The Galaxy A50 has a curved rear shell that tapers toward the front and blends seamlessly with the frame, which holds the panels together. However, the back uses a plastic outer layer with a low-key prism effect that displays a variety of colors as light bounces off certain areas on the surface.

It creates a subtle yet complementary effect to the overall design. Meanwhile, the phone comes in three solid colors - black, blue, and white, and none of which have a gradient finish. However, even without the gradient color scheme, the Galaxy A50 looks attractive enough to lure consumers whose priorities include a highly aesthetic appearance.

The triple-camera is set at the back is comprised of a 25-megapixel, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide option behind f/2.2 optics, and a depth sensor with 5 megapixels for better bokeh in Live Focus mode. Meanwhile, we took many shots and the photos came out sharp, the details were noticeable, and the colors were mostly spot on.

We found that the wide-angle secondary camera is extremely useful when shooting landscapes. The 25MP front-facing camera was able to capture detailed shots too in both night and dark environments. On the display side of things, Galaxy A50 spans 6.4 inches across, with a 2340 x 1080 resolution at a tall aspect ratio of 19.5:9 and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. 

The screen is Super AMOLED and has Always-on-Display functionality, similar to Samsung's best and most expensive devices. That means that we were able to access our basic information, such as the time, date, battery level, and icons for notifications, when the display was turned off.

Notably, the Galaxy A50 also comes with Widevine L1 certification, which affects its ability to stream video. The screen is best for streaming high-definition content through services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc.

The screen is one of the reasons we think highly of the Galaxy A50. Samsung has always been the world leader in display technology, and we are happy to finally see it flex its muscles outside of the premium smartphone market.Furthermore, the new Exynos 9610 inside the Galaxy A50 is also an impressive spec.

It supports 16M colors, that means it is a perfect device for game users. We played PUBG in the Galaxy A50 and it worked brilliantly due to its graphics card.The battery inside the Galaxy A50 is 4,000mAh and it easily lasted us a full day of normal use with juice to spare even with Always-on-Display enabled. Sometimes, it even stretched for two days during a lighter usage.

The Samsung Galaxy A50 falls in line with the best the global manufacturer has to offer this year. Retailing at BDT 24,990 (current promo price) in Bangladesh, it is a sensible recommendation for anyone who wants to purchase a well-spec smartphone that doesn't cost a small fortune.
