It's thin, sleek, and sports an edge-to-edge display that's uncommon to find on phones in this price range. With the exception of a small teardrop notch for the selfie cam, there's almost no bezel—another rarity for the price. It measures 6.24 by 2.94 by 0.30 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.86 ounces.

Securing an updated overall DXOMARK Camera score of 76 the Samsung Galaxy A50 is someway behind the latest devices for smartphone image quality. Perhaps not surprisingly this older device struggled under our more challenging version 4 testing protocols. Its Photo score of 76 is almost 50 points behind the leader and particularly low scores for night, bokeh and preview performance had an impact. Achieving a Zoom score of 27, the A50 delivered better results in our ultra-wide analysis but without a dedicated tele-lens results were low in the tele category. A Video score of 67 is also the lowest achieved under version 4 testing to date and although results for exposure, color and noise were acceptable, poor performance in autofocus and texture had an impact overall.Like most phones in this price range, the display uses Gorilla Glass 3, an older version of Corning's strengthened glass that's more likely to break with an accidental drop. And like the Pixel 3a and most other midrange phones, the A50 isn't water resistant, so we recommend a case to protect the phone from drops and water damage. Network, Call, and Audio Quality One of the main characteristics of the cameras is their image resolution. It states the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the image, which can also be shown in megapixels that indicate the approximate number of pixels in millions. Front camera Modern smartphones have one or more front cameras and their positioning has led to various design concepts – pop-up camera, rotating camera, notch, punch hole, under-display camera, etc. Sensor type

The Samsung Galaxy A50 was launched in early 2019 as a feature-rich budget smartphone that included a large 6.4-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with a small waterdrop notch and thin chin to ensure lots of screen real estate. It was also one of the most powerful devices at this end of the market, running Android 9.0 on a Exynos 9610 chipset and featuring no fewer than three camera modules. The standard-wide camera was built around a 25 MP sensor that bins down to 12.2 MP output coupled to a 26mm f/1.7 lens, with an 8 MP ultra-wide camera and a 5 MP depth sensor for bokeh shots.
