Samsung Galaxy A50s Review: New and improved! By YugaTech

What up guys, Miguel here vote and last April, we reviewed the Samsung Galaxy a 50 and praised it for its updated, aesthetic and UI for seventeen thousand nine hundred. Ninety per second that it be part of your options when looking to purchase a device in the mid-range segment. This year, though, we didn't leave that review with a weird feeling that this guy could do a little better fast-forward to the first of the bear months, and here we are with a full review of the newly updated Galaxy, a 50s. So for design. Honestly, not a lot has changed here. We still get that clastic back with the slightly updated, triple camera setup placed in the top right corner.

We do get some cool new prismatic color options like our very own review unit here in the prism crush green color. I appreciate the little update here in aesthetics, as I did find the earlier a 50 playing it a little too safe and surprisingly, I did notice at the moment. I got the device in my hands and I do have a more comfortable grip because of this four buttons and ports. We get the exact same placements as the first, a 50 in always cancelling mic for speakerphone up top a dual SIM card tray with a dedicated micro SD card slot on the left side, volume, rocker and power button on the right and a 3.5 millimeter audio jack, USB type-c port mic for regular calls and single downward firing. Speaker at the bottom, I want to say it's great that they didn't have to change anything on this guy in terms of like IO and stuff, but I still do kinda have that nitpick complaint about this guy, and it's really more of a Samsung thing than an 50s thing.

It's the button placements seriously I always find more. Recent Samsung smartphone buttons placed a bit high. It's always the volume rocker or the power button. Moving on for a display, the Samsung Galaxy a 50 s gets a slightly updated display. It's the same 6 point 4 inches, full HD, plus Super AMOLED infinity.

U panel with a resolution of 23 40 by 1080 and a pixel density of 403 pixels per inch display protection actually isn't specified, but I think it's safe to assume that we do get during the glass 3 here. Just like its predecessor. What's slightly different here with the display are those bezels. The 50s now has a screen to body ratio. That's 1.1 percent, the original, a 50 when it comes to media consumption. I find it sad to report that the 50s has it better than the OG, a 50.

If you head over to screen mode in the display settings, you'll notice that the 50s now has a pivot profile and gets rid of the other AMOLED profiles found on the 50 and honestly, you really do notice. Colors appear ever so slightly punch here and there seems to be a slight boost. In contrast and brightness now, I may have made that sound a little more dramatic than what it actually is, though, honestly, with both phones side by side with their brightness maxed out, you can really see a difference there. What I don't understand is why I can't Samson just add a vivid color profile to the existing or the OG, a 50 in the first place for sound quality. It's exactly the same as before.

The downward firing speaker produces an average sound signature that kind of lacks in both the highs and lows. It should get you through short viewings, but if you plan to just kick it back all day, I think it'd be the best if users take advantage of the slowly disappearing.3.5 millimeter, audio jack, checking out performance now for hardware. The Galaxy, a 50s gets an updated X Enos 96 11 chipsets, coupled with the same mall g7e to mp3 GPU for configuration, so you can get the 50s and either 4 or 6 gigs of ram with either 64 or 128 gigs of internal storage. For those of you interested I'll have our benchmark scores of the 50 and a 50s flash on screen side-by-side. Now, as you can see, performance numbers have increased on all benchmarks, except for Geek bench and row bench I mean I, really, don't know what happened with Geek bench.

We ran the test twice to be sure and got similar results as for and row bench, it is disappointing to see lower, read and write speeds as well. You'll get more in-depth information about these scores in an upcoming Kenneth game episode of the galaxy, a 50s, so stay tuned for that on the software front, users will be greeted with Android 9 pie out of the box skin with one UI on top and to say this is the same one you found on the 50 would be false. This iteration of 1 UI basically comes from the newer note.10 series get a power icon on the drop-down menu, link to window features also here and so much more early-adopter 1 UI users, like myself, shouldn't be too worried. Sad about this, as we will get a 1 UI update with all these features in the near future, but other than that it is practically the same.1 UI we've all come to love or learn to love, it's very clean, looking as a whole, but not without its own notification bugs and such though we never ran into any trouble when consuming media browsing the web and even like gaming on this guy for biometrics, the galaxy a 50 s gets face and fingerprint recognition, both of which are of the optical variety, and both forms of security have been greatly improved. I mean the face of the lock works just the same, but that in-display fingerprint scanner is definitely faster and seemingly more accurate at recognizing my fingerprint.

It still isn't the fastest in the mid-range segment, which does not put a smile on our face, but either way it works for battery the 50 s sports. The same four thousand William power cell with 15 watt fast charging capabilities coming home, I still have 20% in the tank. I still always have to charge this guy up before I go to bed, though so yeah. That's. Why I say it's average.

In the PC mark battery test hour, a 50 s got a score of 9 hours and 40 minutes. While in our standard video loop test, we got a total of 13 hours and 14 minutes of playback checking out them cameras. Now we do get a slight upgrade with the main lens of the rear module, as well as the front-facing camera. So for the triple camera setup we get a new 48 megapixel main sensor, the same 8 megapixel ultra-wide and five megapixel depth sensors on the front facing side of things. We get a new 32, megapixels selfie shooter.

Now, with that new 48 megapixel sensor, I didn't expect a great difference from how image is taken on the 50 s. Look we can expect more detail as having a bigger sensor should do so and, as you can see from our sample shots, we get the usual Samsung. Post-Processing, though, highlights by default, tend to overexpose. This can be easily remedied by tapping the focus and lowering the exposure level in good lighting conditions. It's really hard to tell the difference between the quality of the 48 megapixel shooter, compared to the 8 megapixel ultra-wide, but come low lighting conditions, and you can really tell from their dynamic range is adequate, not the best we've seen from a smartphone checking out rear portrait samples subject: background separation is pretty good and when I was taking samples, I felt like some sharpening was lacking, but that wasn't the case.

After all, the biggest corn on this foray of cameras is the focusing the 50 years could focus faster in my opinion, besides, when you're out taking photos. Every second matters see these are selfie portrait samples again subject: background separation is substantial, and you can really see a good amount of detail on whatever's in focus. The problem is, overall, the image appears soft at times and that's because I probably took the shot when it still wasn't perfectly focused, and it does show at least in my eyes, and even here with default, photo mode selfies. You can really tell that the updated 32, megapixel selfie shooter can hold its own and take perfect selfies, though I'm sure you guys can tell that the overall image quality of photos, kind of varies- and this is because of the difference in lighting conditions as well for night mode. We have a reference photos next to the actual night mode shot, and, let's start with the only good thing in my opinion, which is it working, it's good to know that it does overall brighten the image, but it really isn't that good, at least not pitch black use night mode to see good.

It also tends to switch to a more zoomed in focal length which I found. Weird and colors can look a little washed out and slightly better late night shots. So that's kind of weird too for video the 50s can shoot up to 4k at 30 frames per. Second, you also get Samsung slo-mo and super slo-mo features, both of which are actually very usable, even for only 720p video check out her samples for the default video mode. I wasn't too impressed, but as long as you have ample and good lighting, you can actually get some perfect footage off of the 50 s.

What I did find cool was being able to record on the ultra wide-angle lens, though, on the ultra-wide. The overall quality does take a hit, though so remember that now before we wrap this video up, you have to check out price. The Samsung Galaxy a 50 s gets an 18,000 990 peso price tag. This is for any six gigs of ram plus 128 gigs of internal storage, variant and I also think it's worth mentioning that the OG a 50 is now priced at fifteen thousand nine hundred ninety pesos for those of you who didn't know already now, if you do purchase the updated Galaxy a 50 s, what you get is a solid mid-range err that can keep up with all your general needs. A bright and vibrant display average battery life, one UI and a set of cameras that I do feel will do way better.

A couple software updates, so yeah I mean if you want a good camera performing phone. This might not be the one for you, so keep that in mind. So what do you guys think of the updated Galaxy, a 50s, yay or nay?
