    My wife recently had lost her cell and needed a new one but we didnt want to spend $800-$1200 on a new one so after looking at the Galaxy A50 it was a pretty good cell for the price , works like a $1000 cellphone, overall my wife’s been happy with it no problems whatsoever. Worth buying it

    If you familiar with the premium Galaxy phones you will definitely like this phone, you get Bixby, stream in 1080p, big display and most but not all premium features. I'm used to having the Note but right now the 10 is a little out of my budget the A50 is definitely the next best thing trust me!.

    Purchased about a month ago to replace a Motorola that I switched to about a year and a half ago. So far the A50 works great, the only issue I've had is that sometimes it doesn't unlock in my trusted places. Overall glad to be back with a Samsung!!! Goodbye Moto!

    This phone has met all my expectations. I was looking for a new phone with more internal memory for all my apps that I like to download. This phone has not given me any issues and I was able to get all my apps that I wanted on this phone without it taking up all my memory.

    This thing is junk. It will last 2 years then the battery will go. Guess what? The battery is inside the phone and you have to spend more than 100 for the battery and for pros(geeks) to install. They are forcing you to buy a new phone. Never again a Samsung!

    I switched to android phone from apple to try their differences. So far this phone Samsung Galaxy A50 is great in my everday use texting, calling, surfing the net etc. Only thing I notice is the battery life will not last a day.

    This phone is functional but has not been a great experience. The store did not care much about the issues I have had and simply directed to Samsung. I have not had time to call Samsung yet. The screen gets locked more than I like.

    We were previous Galaxy owners but had to change phones when we switched providers. :-( But now thanks to BB we were able to upgrade our phones to the Galaxy A50 unlocked which was affordable and needed when our non Galaxy phones started acting up. Glad to be back with Galaxy!

    the phone is not bad, but after a month the use stopped charging from the wall outlet, but only from the laptop and charging from the car, for 2 weeks no one helped with the problem. although it’s my fault that I forgot to buy geek-squad.

    This is my wife's phone and it out performs my Galaxy S8. For the price, this is the phone to get. Especially considering Samsung's history on stopping support on their phones after a couple years. Don't sink a ton of money into their flagship phones that they'll stop updating.

    Overall its a nice budget Galaxy phone. If you dont want to spend 800-1000 dollars for a flagship phone then this should work for you. The only thing i dont like is that i think the battery doesnt last long.

    I bought this purchase after a friend recommended it to me. I have never been happier with a phone. Works very well, easy to use. The camera is great for long distance shots but not so much for up close. Definitely not disappointed with this item!

    This is my daughter phone. She loves it. Works great. Clear sound. She did crack the protective screen when it dropped on its corner. Glad it was only the replaceable screen that cracked. All phones are too expensive for as long as they lasts.

    So glad I switched from iPhone, this is a very simple but functional phone that operates more like a computer which, considering I have all windows devices it connects really well! Might upgrade it at some point to the S20 but this phone works well for me!

    I'm not going to spend $1000 for a phone. So, midgrade unlocked phones are really my only choices. This is a replacement for a Motorola G5S plus and am not disappointed. It's not had any issues, gets great battery life, nice screen, and excellent camera.

    Great lite Samsung Galaxy! Didn't scratch as easy as I thought it would; purchased a screen and case protector to be safe. Feels good in hand both with and without. Little to no lag when multitasking or filliping through apps.

    A little bit of a hassle getting my phone switched and activated. For some reason boost couldn't figure out the correct sim card I needed. But that was a problem on their end notably best buy. Happy now!!

    I love the camera, but the phone constantly freezes and is glitchy. The best part of this phone is the camera. I can't get a good signal in my home.

    I got this phone for my dad to replace his broken one. He is not a power user by any means so this model fit his needs. From the large screen to the nice ultra wide camera in my book it is a great value for the right user.
