    A Good Midrange Phone

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this on Dec 13th from my local Best Buy. The performance seems snappy and good for surfing the internet. The screen is pretty and a nice size. The touch screen isn't very responsive and sometimes I must do long presses on characters or on my screen. I find that annoying. A heavy touch is oftentimes needed. It takes nice pics.

    Was a great phone for the price, it's only downfall was me being it's owner. It lived a very hard life and kept going when others probably wouldn't.

    This phone is one of the if not best phones for cost effectiveness out there. At it's price point it delivers great performance. When compared to the iPhone 11 in fact, this phone is barely behind it at a price of $600 less!

    I read a review that says ppl are having problems with GPS. I purchased the Galaxy a50 3 days ago and used Google maps for the first time yesterday and it worked fine. So many things I love abt this phone. The only thing I've noticed that's not so great is the screen glitches (flashes in and out for a second). It seems to be pretty random. I've played with this phone a lot the last few days and it's gotten glitchy maybe 3 times. The fingerprint sencer seems to work 7 out of 8 times. I love the camera. Nice loud speakers. I think think this phone is a great buy.

    This phone is amazing!!!

    Posted .

    This phone is a trooper. This phone was released in March of 2019 and honestly has only gotten better as the years passed by. I'm going to give my review, my pros, and the few cons that I have had throughout this phone's life cycle. So, I received this phone on Christmas in 2019. When I got the phone, I had just moved from my (falling apart) iPhone 6 Plus. This was the first good Android phone I've had, as I've had two really cheap (like literally 20 dollars) phones and a Samsung Galaxy J3 Eclipse. It was immediately pretty amazing, with the crisp AMOLED 1080p display, the aesthetically pleasing - although I will talk about this later - OneUI, and just the overall phone. The camera was amazing. The only flaw I've had with this phone is the charging port. Somewhere around a year since I received the phone, the charging port began to mess up a bit, starting to certain cables slide out of the phone. Then, I began having to wrap the cord around the phone to keep it charging, and then eventually I'd have to push the phone into the cord forcibly to get it to charge. After a few months of that, the charging port finally stopped working, and I had to use an old Galaxy S6. I got the phone repaired, and although that extra expense was unnecessary, it made me really appreciate this phone. It is truly an amazing phone. Pros - Display Battery life - although questionable at times The holographic design on the back of the phone The speed of the phone The storage Cons - Charging port This phone has definitely held up and gotten increasingly better - with the welcoming of Android 11 and OneUI 3, this phone has only gotten more speedy and strong. Beautiful phone. 10/10

    I had the Samsung s10. Just did not want to keep making payments. So I bought the A50 and could not be happier. I have had no issues with the fingerprint scanner. Pictures are great and the phones works perfect for me.

    S10+ for a fraction!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This phone is amazing! You're essentially getting a near s10+ for a fraction of the cost! The only that's significantly better on the s10 is the cpu and camera. It's not worth paying 5x for those two better features. It also have great battery life. I just wish they made a smaller version of this phone. Amazing value for a $200 phone; mind blown!
