Love the extra space

published

Good phone, happy with it generally, love the extra space. The nighttime fadeout doesnt help whith jigsaws, prefer it off. Such a brouhaha about wonderful landscape camera - but how to hold phone safely, keep fingers out of shot AND press button? Many deletes! Placement is just stupid.

Purchased in September 2021 at Online for $399.00.

Very Poor Quality PLASTIC

published

I bought this phone and after a month it started to bend. We returned it to store of purchse who kindly sent it away to Samsung thinking it was the battery overheating. Samsung returned the phone deeming it to be customer fault. Apparently you can apply pressure and bend the phone without it cracking or breaking. There is no other physicsl dsmage to the phone. So the phone is simply like playdough, capable of melting in your hand and Samsung do not warrant it. I am urging you DO NOT BUY ANY SAMSUNG GALAXY A PHONES! They are made using cheap plastic materials.

Purchased in July 2021 at Officeworks Physical store for $496.00.

Good Phone

published

I have been using this phone for the past few months and have enjoyed it so far.
Cameras are great, takes a little bit to get the hang of the selfie feature, but other than that all is good.
Apps run fine. Great basic phone to call and message others.
Has the same features as most Samsung phones.

Pretty good for the price

published

The A50 is my first non iPhone for a couple of years and so far I've been encouraged by it's performance.

There's definitely nothing to complain about with the processor speed or the camera, especially for a phone under $500.

One point of frustration remains though. In my experience the fingerprint sensor is a complete dud. Though I've only had the phone 10 days there have been times when I've struggled to get back into the phone. This would certainly be a problem is you needed fast access.

All in all if you're after a relatively cheap smartphone the A50 is a good option - if you turn off the fingerprint sensor

Love this phone!

published

Always been a Samsung fan and once again I am not disappointed with this little beauty! Fast and furious, great capacity, beautiful camera and adjustable to suit everyone preference. As a medium priced market product, this outdoes even some of the very expensive ones!

Great phone - not too complicated

published

This is the perfect phone If you just use the basic features and don't want to pay a fortune, It has a nice size screen, is easy to use and camera is excellent. Samsung store helped me transfer all photos and data over from old Galaxy S4.

Very happy with Photos that I have taken. The clearness of people speaking is great. It is easy to carry & understand how to "work" the phone . Apps are easy to install.

Great mid range phone

published

After using a Galaxy s9 I was worried that the A50 would be a real step down but to my surprise the phone is fantastic. Bigger screen than the s9 with a beautiful thin look and fantastic features as well.

Good value phone

published

I am satisfied with this phone in general, but as many people mentioned here and there, the fingerprint unlock is not working well. Besides, the battery, photo quality, and performance perspective, they are better than I expected.

Hi Tom, I am not sure. I have a Samsung Gear that it connects to but is dodgy at times. Connection to In car bluetooth is terrible. Spend the extra and get a better phone.
