Awesome phone better than my iPhone 11 pro max
I purchase this phone because my new iPhone 11 pro max don't work with Tmobile on Puerto Rico no internet no receive calls that's is the reason I purchase Samsung Galaxy A50. When I have the opportunity to choose again Samsung is the new cell phone. I recommend this Samsung Galaxy A50 Battery all day and night 8 hours of work and still 60% or more. The Netflix looks pretty good and outside with the sun I can see clearly everything. The camera resolution omg excellent. My new iPhone11 pro max now looks like a old cellphone. I can't believe it this phone have the best technology I was apple fan but not anymore. The reception of the signal now I have more bars than the iPhone and said LTE+ EVERYTHING IS SUPER MEGA BETTER NOW USING TMOBILE. I RECOMMEND THIS PHONE

$300 phone that offers $700 flagship performance.
Boy oh boy, entry model phones have come a long way. My LG G6, which is not a bad phone by any means, was getting a little beat up and I started looking for a minor upgrade I could replace it with. Along comes the A50. I was skeptical due to my previous experiences with the "J" series entry Samsung phones and previously would suggest that for the money there were better options out there like some ZTE model's, some more middle spec LGs, or even a gen or 2 old flagship like a Samsung s7 or a LG G5. The a50 is an entire different ball game. Samsung is crushing the market with these guys. 8 core cpu, massive 64 gig internal memory, huge battery, genius idea with a plastic back and not a glass back (ive replaced TONS of Samsung back glasses and this is a godsend from them), 25 mp FRONT camera, amoled screen, knotch design, decent camera software features including slow mo and super slo mo, (kind of) quick charge, and a type c port to boot. What more you could possibly want out of $350 (bought this weekend on sale unlocked for $275) is beyond me. I did switch out the stock Samsung launcher for Evie, just to try and clamp down on any software bottlenecks and just for ease/simplicity. Phone operates very fast but not as fast as a brand new flagship device (not much of a complaint there). Only complaints I can really think of is it doesnt charge as fast as some of the newer quick charge devices and maybe the overall PDI could be a bit higher, but thats nitpicking to the highest degree. Samsung reclaims the throne of the budget phone market with this one IMO. Maybe youd value an S8 or a G7 thin q over this, but having a non curved premium-ish Samsung is a brilliant idea (curve screen is cool, but youre talking $250+ at bare minimum for a lcd replacement thats nowhere near OEM quality). Ive repaired thousands of phones/tablets and from what Ive seen, this is some real concrete value out of the A50. Time will tell how well it ages, but right now its looking like ill be keeping this one for a good chunk of time. 5/5. Great job, Samsung. This is the type of engineering that made them an Android powerhouse to begin with, and its a great return to form from them.

COOL PHONE ALERT!
Do you need a new phone? May I please suggest that Samsung Galaxy A50? It is an ideal phone with lots of storage. Just for the record, this awesome phone is both a reliable and durable investment. I highly recommend it for those who use their phone on a daily basis for work or pleasure. The photographs are fantastic and it never has let me down. The conversations are clear and crisp. I no longer have the static or noise like before. Finally, I no longer worry about being disconnected.

Must say... I'm impressed!
That being said.. I did not buy this phone for its camera and can't comment on it. I bought this phone primarily to entertain my kids during this time that there's no school, and we aren't leaving home much at all due to the pandemic. I have Samsung TVs and like to stream content and can keep my children occupied with movies other than the dvds they have been repeating. However, there was a secondary reason.. and that was to try out some of my games on it. I have one particular game that can cause heating even in my Samsung Galaxy note 10+.. so extremely impressed that the A50 handled the game without really heating up at all and that's playing for over an hour! So even though spec wise the note 10+ should outperform.. in that one case.. it didn't. So if you're looking for a great budget phone that can handle lots of games and streaming.. this is it!!

I’m shocked (switched from iPhone)
I’ve only had this phone for a day and I’m loving it. I bought it to see if I would really like it over my iPhone XS Max and I have to say wooow. Apple is trash that is overpriced. Samsung is absolutely destroying them 100%. Only payed $350 for this a50 mid level Samsung phone, literally love this thing.
