Samsung has recently been in the headlines for the hullabaloo surrounding its flawed Galaxy Fold, with the generally defective review units all having been recalled. But not all is in the downward spiral for the Korean tech giant, given the continuing success of its flagship 10 and 10+ units. Moreover, the company has just launched arguably the best mid-range smartphone of 2019: The Galaxy A50.

Priced very reasonably at around $290 to $350, the Galaxy A50 comes in variants of 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB and 6GB/64GB RAM-HD. This is a solid price range, given that the phone features a 6.4-inch full-HD Super AMOLED screen. It likewise has rounded corners, a 91.6 percent screen-to-body ratio, and the Infinity-U notch. The A50 is in many ways reminiscent of the Galaxy S10 and S10+, which cost between $750 to $1800. Kati Volitich.
The Galaxy A50 runs on a powerful octa-core Samsung Exynos 9610 SoC processor, certainly a big jump from the 7904 seen in other similar or recent Samsung models. The high-end chip allows for important camera features like face recognition and depth sensing. The smartphone also features an in-display fingerprint sensor and ships with Android 8.1.

Most buyers looking to take vivid photos on their phones should be easily convinced by the A50’s triple-camera setup of 25MP + 5MP + 8MP, with the 25MP in front. There’s a Live Focus feature, slow motion, as well as support for ultra-wide photos and videos. Kati Volitich.
