Samsung Galaxy A50 deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	Expert Reviews | Alan Martin ... you're getting a pretty impressive smartphone that looks good, has a great screen, is fast enough for most people and takes decent snaps too. This is a phone that'll be more than enough for most people. Read full review
90	Android Authority | Dhruv Bhutani Between the versatile cameras, bloat-free software and rather good gaming performance, the phone will more than suffice for most prospective users. The Samsung Galaxy A50 does it all while offering a really good user experience. Read full review
89	ZDNet | Matthew Miller I loved the hardware and the Galaxy A50 will be added to my arsenal of recommendations when family and friends ask me about affordable phones. It offers a lot of what the flagship Samsung phones offer at a fraction of the price. Read full review
87	NotebookCheck | Florian Schmitt The Samsung Galaxy A50 is an excellent midrange smartphone. It draws on the successes of its predecessor, like with its triple rear-facing cameras, but it blends these with a more modern design and an improved SoC... Moreover, its GPS module is oddly inaccurate and its Wi-Fi performance on occasion was worse than its predecessor. Read full review
85	Mr Phone | Sreehari The Samsung Galaxy A50 is easily the most favourite Samsung phone that I reviewed and for good reason. Three of my most favourite parts are the gorgeous sleek design, unbeatable Super AMOLED display, and the premium software experience that I was longing for. Read full review
84	CNET | Lynn La Though not water repellant like the Moto G7, the Galaxy A50 is worth the extra for its superior camera and enduring battery. Read full review
82	TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey The display and design are very good, and while the camera is prone to the sin of inconsistency, and the battery might not last as long as some would expect from its numbers, what cannot be denied is that the Galaxy A50 is perhaps one of Samsung's best efforts in the budget flagship segment.

80	Mashable India | Natasha Mathur Samsung Galaxy A50s nearly offers everything you need from a mid-range smartphone: good looks, good performance, and a decent-enough camera. Although A50s comes with its own set of hits and misses, it might just be one of the better midranger Samsung has made till date. Read full review
80	PCWorld | Michael Simon The Galaxy A50 is a great phone with a great display that belies its price tag. Read full review
80	Digital Trends | Julian Chokkattu The Google Pixel 3a is still our favorite budget Android phone, but the A50 is a solid pick, and even more affordable. Read full review
80	Know Your Mobile | Damien McFerran Given that there's such a small difference in price between the Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A70, it's hard to choose between them. However, we think the latter is perhaps the best option but if you're really shopping on a tight budget then the A50 isn't likely to disappoint. Read full review
80	Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford In terms of photography, the Galaxy A50 consistently topped the G7 too, thanks to generally better sharpness, colour saturation, and particularly, low-light performance ... however, when put up against the Pixel 3a, the Galaxy A50 falls short. Read full review
80	The Indian Express | Debashish Pachal At this price point, the Samsung Galaxy A50 looks like a good buy at the moment. Read full review
80	GadgetMatch | Daniel Morial When it comes to value, the Galaxy A50 is one of the first Samsung phones to have a justifiable specs-to-price ratio. Lastly, the Galaxy A50 has a versatile set of cameras, which is something that every phone should own. Read full review
80	Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail Buy it. While the Galaxy A50's camera won't dazzle you like the Pixel 3a's, the Galaxy A50 is still an excellent value with a class-leading display. We just wish it was available from more carriers. Read full review
80	The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal Overall, if you are a Samsung loyalist then this phone might excite, else you can consider Xiaomi Poco F1, Nokia 8.1 and Vivo V11 Pro which comes loaded with some great performance coupled with capable cameras and new technologies. Read full review
80	India Today | Sanket Vijayasarathy ... the Galaxy A50 looks and feels more premium. It is a phone that you would love to flaunt around. Read full review
80	Firstpost | Kshitij Pujari For those who are in for design, a great AMOLED display, and a decent camera, the Galaxy A50 is your device...The phone's display, camera, and battery are the highlights with OneUI coming as a welcome change. Performance is something that still leaves a lot to be desired, at least if Samsung plans to compete in the same space as Poco Read full review
80	NDTV Gadgets | Jamshed Avari ...a lot of people will find the Galaxy A50 interesting enough to consider seriously. It has all the current-day features that you'd want to show off, and there are no major problems. We think there's scope for improvement with the cameras and software, but overall, Samsung is really showing that it knows how to bring the fight back. Read full review
70	The Economic Times | Karan Bajaj ... the Samsung Galaxy A50 is a tough sell. The Poco F1 offers much better performance with its Snapdragon 845 processor at the same price and even scores high on camera and battery performance. Read full review
70	91mobiles | Prateek Pandey In my books, the Galaxy A50 is Samsung's best attempt yet to fend off the Chinese competition... unfortunately the pricing is still not competitive enough to sway gamers away from the Snapdragon 845-toting Poco F1. Read full review
70	AndroidPit | Benoit Pepicq With this new generation of Galaxy A, Samsung seems to have done a nice job. The Galaxy A50 does everything you would expect from a good mid-range smartphone with the battery life expected in this range. Read full review
60	PC Mag | Steven Winkelman The Samsung Galaxy A50 offers a handsome design and decent midrange specs, but it's not quite enough to compete with the Google Pixel 3a. Read full review
