Samsung Galaxy A50 Review
- Processor from Samsung under the number 9610 - 8 cores with a frequency of up to 2.3 GHz.
- Graphics — Mali G72 MP3.
- RAM 4/6 GB.
- Storage: 64 or 128 GB.
- 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5 versions, NFC.
And the Samsung A51 is the same, but the processor is slightly improved: 9611 versus 9610. Well, you understand that the filling has not grown in a year.
Overall performance. Proc is not very quick, there is jamming with a large number of minimized applications. But for games, the chip is well-optimized, and the situation is the same as with the A51. It turns out that all the available forces go to the games when you start them. And at other times, the chip is not, particularly in a hurry, but charging is always in place. Here, the Samsung people are great fellows, it’s not for nothing that they have been leaders for so many years.
The 4000 mAh battery holds a charge for a day and a half. Everything again depends only on you. It takes almost 2 hours to charge from a standard adapter, so choose accelerated charges (up to 15 W). Samsung just saved it on the package. By the way , the batteries for 50 and 51 are the same.
Cameras. Behind them are 3: the main one at 25MP, the width at 8MP and the depth sensor at 5MP. And the Samsung Galaxy A50 shoots really well. Of course, everything is within the budget and age, but the photos and videos are very good. The A51 added a 4th module (5MP macro), and the base was increased to 48MP. The quality has grown, but not at times, but just got a little higher, but this is if you compare everything thoroughly. In ordinary life, you will hardly see the difference. Below: photo and video in daylight and at night.
Interesting fact: A50 does not allow switching from one camera to another during video recording. That is, the zoom for video is not available, immediately select the camera for shooting.
The sound is not very good. Very loud but flat. There is only one speaker and it is straining as it can, although it does not wheeze. There is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack and even AptX for good sound without wires. The middle peasant of the next generation has the same thing.
The fingerprint is located under the screen and works fine. Slower than the classic, the technology is still new. In more expensive and newer smarts, the screen print works better, but the budget is different there. In A51 it works exactly the same as in A50.
To make it work properly:
- clean finger.
- Clear screen.
- Multiple prints on one finger, because the grip is often different, and the sensor is still imperfect.
The vibration is buzzing and you won't like it. Nothing has changed in the next A51.
General convenience is at the level because this is Samsung and not some no-name. The Samsung Galaxy A50 fits the hand the way it should. It is thin, light, and fits in any pocket. Phone functions work perfectly: you can hear each other for 5 points. The firmware is convenient and does not cause any questions at all.
Prices. You can still find new devices, on the Ya. The market asks for them 15,500 rubles. Expensive. Here for a used one, they ask for normal 8-10 thousand rubles. But what about the A51? New ones are estimated from 17,000 rubles. Already better, right? And the used one costs a little more than the A50 - 10-13 thousand rubles. This is really beneficial.
By the way, here's a full review of the Samsung A51. There we also figure out whether it is worth buying at all in 2021 and even compare it with a non-obvious model.
Conclusion. The Samsung Galaxy A50 is a good mid-range phone for its time (2019). But in 2021, it’s better to take the A51, because it’s a year younger, costs only a couple of thousand more and looks much more modern. It will be easier to sell the A51 later than the A50. Again, due to age. Make the right purchases.
