Samsung Galaxy A50 64 GB Black (4 GB RAM)

I had Redmi Note 5 pro and I wanted to buy Redmi note 7 pro but I got really sick of their flash sales trick. Hello Redmi, if you are listening, you lost a customer to Samsung because of your greedy cheap tricks.

Pros and cons combined -
1) If you are coming from Mi-ui it takes few days to get adjusted to Samsung one-ui. But again, I don't see a problem in the long run.
2) I tried Samsung pay mini for first time buying groceries. Trust me, it's super easy and I can switch between PayTM / Bhim in a giffy because I use different bank accounts.
3) Samsung pass is another thing which I loved. In this digital age remembering passwords is next to impossible. Samsung has this password manager which only opens with your biometrics. Brilliant! Also, it autofills fields from Samsung pass. Even brilliant!
4) Earphones given with this phone are bad. I bought new ones. But that is acceptable at this price range.
5)The length of charging cable is too short. If you have a spike buster on the floor, it won't even reach the study table. I had to buy new USB to type-c cable with a bigger length. This you will get in a local shop for 200 bucks.
6) Super Amoled screen is absolutely fantastic. All that extra money you are paying over and above Redmi note 7 pro is for this screen . It looks very premium, Lovely colours and also saves battery . I am somebody who watches a lot of videos on YouTube and stream a lot of shows on Netflix. This is a perfect mini-tv for me. There are so many features to adjust the screen types and blue colour . It's brilliant and less strain on your eyes. So 5k extra may look premium price but I don't regret it because of the lovely screen quality!
7) Adaptive brightness sensor is extremely brilliant. It keeps learning your patterns and it understands so well when you go out of the house or come in to the house . I had this problem with Redmi note 5 pro where I adjusted the screen brightness way too many times manually.
8) In screen finger print scanner is good if not brilliant. Initially I thought it was badly designed because it took some time to unlock. After a few days you will understand how to keep your thumb and it unlocks in a giffy. Also one more point to add here is , if you put a screen guard you have to remove the fingerprints and re-add them . This is totally justified because the system has an additional layer in between screen and your thumb. Once you remove and re-add, It works like charm again :)
9) I can use both my SIM cards and also a memory card. This is excellent because I have loads of songs , pictures and files etc in my memory card. I don't store anything on my phone storage . I can just move the card from phone to phone hassel free and also at the same time not sacrifice a SIM card slot. This is one of the easiest and practical ways to do data transfer. This is why a dedicated memory card slot is very important. Who will sit and copy data for hours together ?
10) Both front and back cameras are good at this price range. I may agree here that the images of Redmi note 7 pro might be slightly on the sharper side. But the difference is not so much . Sorry for being vernacular here . As they say in Hindi , the difference is "unnis-bees ka farak" (the difference is like difference between 19-20). Basic users like me don't even need to care for these very very minute details.
11) 4 GB ram and octacore processor is more than enough for doing regular things like food ordering, online shopping on Bajaj Estore, bank transfers. What else everyone does other than WhatsApp, FB, Instagram and LinkedIn? Nobody should be even remotely worried about processors and ram . 90% of the mid aged working class people don't do anything other than these and these specifications are good enough unless you play games. I don't play games so no comments there.
12) Cellular call quality is good. Nothing to worry. Both SIM cards work on volte.
13) 25 Mp front camera is brilliant for WhatsApp video calls. I don't know how but somehow I see Skype not hanging in this device. It runs smooth.
15) I didn't like the Samsung keyboard. I use gboard from times immemorial. This is more of a personal keyboard preference.
16) Battery is excellent. I binged a complete show of 8 episodes on Netflix for 6 hours. I still had 15% battery.
17) The weight balance of this device is excellent. Neither we feel top or bottom heavy. I had this issue with Redmi note 5 pro. I somehow thought it was top heavy and flipped out of my hand sometimes.

A silently launched masterpiece by Samsung. No Ads. No Pre-information. Fearing S10 sales? Or hurryingly released to beat Redmi Note 7? Anyways. Let us see the pros & cons:

Pros:

1) Display: The good display in the market till date. It is a known fact (through internet sources) that Samsung manufactures display for iPhones, the world's costliest phones. So as usual, they stand superb in this Super AMOLED display with Full HD+.

2) Backup Beast: 4000 mAH battery will last: 3 days for light users; 2 days for moderate users; 1 day for heavy users.

3) Full Screen: Display is almost full. Just a small and perfectly placed camera in the middle - U Notch. I felt this is far better than abnormal camera placements in S10 series.

4) Fantastic Camera: In the light, whether the rear camera or front camera, both are excellent while producing 25 MP pics. See the sample shots at 3rd and 4th images of Lord Krishna.

5) brilliant Design: As usually, A series from Samsung always look very premium. And this too looks premium.

6) Screen Protection: After searching over the net, though this doesn't have Gorilla Glass, it does have Asahi's Dragon Trail glass, which is also rugged when comes to protection.

7) Charging: First time Samsung has provided C-Type charger, that too with a very faster charger (15W). I meant at this price point.

8) UI: Samsung's new One Touch UI is brilliant. Very nice to customize.

9) Price: Dead cheap. Samsung has decided to be very aggressive in the market. At this price, one can blindly go for this.

Cons:

1) Camera: In low lighting conditions, the cameras' quality is not very good.

2) Plastic Back: I think Samsung should have provided a glass-back or metal-back at this price point. They have provided a plastic back (polycarbonate).

3) Processor: Nowadays, for this price range, a high-end processor is expected. But Samsung never does this. Because it invests its money in the display. So this con is subjective. For display lovers, this is not a big con. But for speed lovers, this will be a big con.

4) Speaker: This is the biggest con in all the mobiles I have found. I don't know why. It is ONE & ONLY ONEPLUS, which provides users very high quality and loudest speakers in the industry; that too in a single speaker. I really don't know why companies don't learn from OnePlus.

5) Ineffective Fingerprint Sensor: I don't know why companies are trying to put fingerprint sensors inside the display. The outside hardware fingerprint sensor is FAR FAR BETTER THAN IN-DISPLAY FINGERPRINT SENSOR (even in look-wise). Even OnePlus 6T, which has such a high-end processor, fail to recognize and unlock quickly our fingerprints. So why did Samsung tried this?

6) Double Tap: Samsung should learn to provide "Double Tap" to turn off/on screen. We should rely only on the power button. Though this is not a big con for others, it is for me.

Conclusion: For this price point, one can blindly go for this. It is very much worth. I feel in the corner of my heart, this phone beats S10+ also (by comparing prices I meant).

Iam using this phone(4GB RAM variant) from past one week, following are my likes and dislikes. I would personally don't recommend buying 4GB variant phone. Likes:
1. Display is very good at this price range
2. Bluetooth output is good
3. Call reception is good
4. RAM management is very good, I compared against some other phones, I can say Samsung has done a very good job. I an not seeing applications getting reloaded.
5. Camera output is pretty sharp, images are pretty good.
6. Battery life is brilliant, It easily lasts one day with 100% charge. And the rate of charging is pretty good.
Dislikes:
1. Phone isn't very responsive, if you search anything in settings app, for the first time it usually takes more than 3 seconds to search.
2. We can easily notice lagginess in the app switch animation. I have even tried stopping all animations to check the responsiveness, but it didn't help.
3. Speaker output is ain't brilliant but we can manage.
4. In past week I have seen screen freezing issue a few times. All of a sudden facerecognition animation started showing at the bottom of the screen.
5. Biggest disappointment is fingerprint scanner, most of the times it won't work. Whenever it works, it takes its own time(and it ain't consistent). I personally got frustrated with this unlocking mechanism, I switched to face and pattern recognition. I would have been happy if they had provided capacitive fingerprint scanner. Even after the recent update, it didn't help much, yes, now the rate of successful detection is high but still fails most of the times.
To conclude,
I was using MI 5(with Sd820) and it lasted for 3 years. I wanted another budget phone which can last 3 years(I don't wanted to buy mi), so went ahead with Samsung, but looking at it's performance i can say it won't last for 3 years. I personally wouldn't recommend buying this phone. Consider all the factors and make your decision, as we will be using it for at least 2-3 years.

Phone is sexy, no doubt!
Those who are buying note7 pro will regret when they'll get this device in their hands.
If you're comparing these devices just on the basis of "pubg", then don't buy either of them.
Pubg needs optimization, so instead buy a device with snapdragon 855 or something like that. You will not notice but the gameplay is slow in almost all devices(You'll know this, when you will see the gameplay in some ios device).
Apart from this I'm mentioning some pros and cons of this device:
Pros:
1)No competition in terms of display quality(Orgasm XD)
2)Battery effecient processor based on 10nm process (Equivalent or better than snapdragon's 660 soc)
3)as a result, better battery life.
4)Design is also a plus point of this device.
5) Front camera and sound quality from speakers is excellent.
6)comes with DolbyAtmos (for good audio from Headphones)
7) It uses a different UI which Samsung is using on devices like Galaxy s10 and later.
Cons:
1)Back camera is not superb, it sometimes enhances the picture quality uneccesarily.
2)you need to be careful when using inDisplay fingerprint scanner as it has fixed postition that requires your finger to be placed.
3)No other cons I have found.

Thankyou

It has almost all features of one plus 6t. I can compare it because my husband has one plus 6t. Well, you have to compromise on few things like storage and CPU. Rest you are getting everything at 18000 less price. A few reasons I went for this in the ocean of phones:
1. Sar value is much less as compared to all other brands
2. Samsung goes on and on for years..
3. good at this price
Rest you get everything which any other phones offer.
1. featherlite touch
2. beautiful display
3. fabolous camera
4. thinner and lighter than 6t
Some recent updates
I noted few pros and cons: 1. 128 gb was not available in this varient.
2. I can't feel the 4000 MAH battery backup.
3. A bit of heating issue not much though to bother you at all.
4. Charger is slower than my Samsung J7 2016 edition. Output is only 1.5 A.
5. Finger print lock sucks...mostly fails..but good face recognition is grt.
6. Camera ( both front and rear) is fabolous..even the lowlight pictures are beautifully clicked..

Okay, So I have been using iPhone before and thought of moving to Android after much thought.
After going back and forth for various ranges of phone, I decided to buy this. Here is my reviews after 2 days of using this phone:
1. Battery : Almost full day even though you use extensively. Rating 9/10.
2. UI Display : Just amazing. Rating 10/10
3. Device Look and handing in hand : 10/10
4. Processor/Performance: Works perfectly fine, not amazing. 9/10
5. Finger pinter sensor: It is terrible. 2/10
6. Face un-lock: it works every time even in dark but not fast as one Plus. 8/10
7. Samsung UI : Just amazing except few common issues 9/10
9. Camera quality: In light its really good.. but at night or low light its terrible.

Verdict:
It is clearly not worth ~20K, but Samsung known for its display and good quality hardware. If you need the phone for basic uses like I do, it is really good. But you are passionate about Camera/Gaming. A big NO.

This phone is THE ONE for people who are very particular about camera and display. Many reviews said the camera is bad in low light. I have shared low light pictures captured at 10pm. It's pretty good when compared to other phones in this category. I don't expect this phone to turn night into day

I was a Samsung user prev years used galaxy s duos and grand 2 and switched to Chinese brands cause of its features after long gap came to Samsung family the Galaxy A50 6gb variant.
First of all
Samsung is hearing customers reviews
Learnt from J series & on series its mistakes....

The product #samsung A50 is excellent as its Samsung built is no compainanble....
And ram management is smooth all apps are in memory

Display is top notch feels like a much costlier phone in hand feels light also ...

Overall product is very good for daily usage and I got battery standby upto 22hrs in a charge

Service network of Samsung in India good
One ui need to get adjusted cause it's new... and
If u are looking for a phone and to use it for
3-4years go for it....
Update: I recieved 2 updates one for camera and one for UI and feels light
Not like old hanging Samsung ..its different and
Can keep 10-13apps in memory and worth buying

On screen Fingerprint sensor...very slow response...most of the times doesn't respond...processing speed Is also slow...does not justify 6gb ram...however i think it's the processor which is actually exynos 7 series(not 9 series)..display is very good...unbeatable in this price range/..(fyi..Samsung has the good display technology in market..iPhones display are/were built by samsung)camera is very good..its a camera centric phone..games work fine..not recommended for heavy games..battery is good enough...lasts for a day or more with moderate use..people who have used devices with Qualcomm snapdragon processor..will notice the difference with overall functionality...looks wise exorbitant...built quality is good..it could have been an fabolous phone if the processor/ram management had been upto the mark...overall it's a good phone..

After one week use am going to write this review.
Pros:
1. Good display
2.1UI feels very convenient to use the phone.
3. Face recognition works well.
4. Front camera good
5. Gaming performance good.
6.Fast charging good.
7. Decent battery life. maximum one day you can manage without heavy gamings.
Cons:
1. Rear main camera is very average and the sharpness also bad.Image stability also not that brilliant.
2. Finger print sensor most of the time not working.
3.Auto brightness takes some time to change the screen brightness.

I reduced 2 stars only because of the rear camera performance
