The Samsung Galaxy A50 is an Android-based smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics as part of the fifth iteration of its Samsung Galaxy A series. Initially equipped with Android 9 Pie, it offers internal storage options of either 64 or 128 GB alongside a robust 4000 mAh battery.[1] The device was first introduced globally on February 25, 2019, followed by its release in the United States on July 13, 2019.[2]
Specifications
Hardware
The Galaxy A50 features a 6.4-inch FHD+ (2340 x 1080) Super AMOLED Infinity-U display with a 60 Hz refresh rate and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. It is equipped with an Octa-core processor consisting of 4 cores at 2.3 GHz ARM Cortex-A73 and 4 cores at 1.7 GHz ARM Cortex-A53, built on a 64-bit, 10 nm architecture, paired with a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. The device dimensions are 158.5 x 74.7 x 7.7 mm, and it houses a 4000 mAh battery.
Available in variants of 4GB or 6GB RAM combined with either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, the Galaxy A50 supports expandable storage via a MicroSD card slot accommodating up to 512GB.
For biometric security, the phone incorporates an optical fingerprint sensor embedded beneath the display as well as facial recognition technology.
Camera
The rear camera setup on the Samsung Galaxy A50 consists of three lenses: a primary 25MP wide-angle Sony Exmor IMX576 sensor with an f/1.7 aperture, an 8MP ultra-wide lens at f/2.2, and a 5MP depth sensor also with an f/2.2 aperture. On the front, it is equipped with a 25MP selfie camera.
Although the hardware supports recording video in 4K resolution, this capability is not accessible through the default camera application or standard settings; however, it can be enabled by using third-party applications.
Software
Out of the box, the Galaxy A50 runs on One UI version 1.1 based on Android 9.0 (Pie). In early April 2020, it received a stable update upgrading the system to Android 10 alongside One UI 2.0. Key features include integration with Bixby, Google Assistant, and Samsung Pay. Later in December 2020, the device was updated to One UI version 2.5. The final major software upgrade arrived in March 2021, delivering Android 11 with One UI 3.1. The last security patch for this model was issued in February 2023. Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy A50 will not be receiving updates to Android 12 or One UI version 4, nor any subsequent operating system upgrades.
Reception
The A50 garnered largely favorable evaluations. PCWorld awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, commending its screen quality, aesthetic design, and battery endurance, while noting drawbacks related to the under-display fingerprint sensor and image processing.[3] Similarly, Tom's Guide rated it 4/5 stars, describing the device as "an affordable smartphone featuring a large, vibrant display, dependable performance, and a refined design," though they mentioned its battery life as somewhat disappointing.[4] CNET assigned an 8.4 out of 10 score, labeling it "among the finest budget-friendly phones available,"[5] while Digital Trends referred to it as "the ideal budget Samsung smartphone.".[6]
In terms of commercial success, the A50 was Samsung’s top-selling handset throughout 2019. It also ranked as the leading smartphone in Europe for that year and secured third place globally in sales during the third quarter of 2019.[7][8][9]
