Samsung Galaxy A50 is a step in the right direction. With an AMOLED display that's great to watch content on to the dazzling back panel of the phone, its a stunner but falls short of some key features.With the Galaxy A50, Samsung tries to recreate its dominance in the upper levels of the Indian mid-range smartphone market. It leads the current pack of the refreshed A-series with features like three cameras, u-shaped notch design and a 4, 000mAh battery. Then, there’s the in-display fingerprint sensor which is a distinct feature seen on more premium phones. This only increases the Galaxy A50’s value-for-money quotient.
The A50 lands at a price point that’s majorly dominated by Xiaomi’s most affordable flagship smartphone, the POCO F1, Nokia 7.1 and OPPO K1, the only other phone with an in-display fingerprint sensor, south of 20, 000INR.
As such, the Galaxy A50 has a lot to prove for it to be considered as a serious contender in the sub-Rs 25, 000 budget segment.
DESIGN.
Picking up the Galaxy A50 in hand, it immediately feels very polished. The phone has a sandwich-type chassis design with polycarbonate edges that co-joins the screen and the back panel. While the company has gone with a notched display that should effectively narrow-down bezels, they are fairly noticeable, especially at the chin.
DISPLAY:
At 6.4-inch the Super AMOLED panel used by the Galaxy A50 looks tall and beautiful. The display’s got a Full HD+ ( 2340 x 1080 pixels) resolution, a pixel ratio density of 404 dpi and 19.5: 9 aspect ratio. It has the u-shaped notch on the front which allows a screen-to-body ratio of 91.6% , making it one of the better phones to consume content on.
CAMERA. :
Samsung deploys a tri-camera setup on the A50 which consists of a primary 25MP camera with an f/1.7 aperture, a 5MP depth-sensing camera with f/2.2 aperture and an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens with 123-degree field of view.
