Good Mid-Range Device

Overall the phone performs well. It's not a flagship by any means, but it has most if not all mainstream features. The Exynos 9610 blows the doors off of the SD630/636 found in many other mid-range phones. The A50 is equipped with 4GB RAM to handle light multitasking and the phone performs reasonably well with games. Menus, navigation and app loading times are reasonable, albeit Samsung's OneUI isn't the snappiest of interfaces. Although slightly lacking in resolution, the display performs well. It offers enough brightness to be usable in most outdoor situations. The display color is vibrant. Despite the lack of HDR certification, there are no major deficits in color accuracy when compared to other devices. The camera is reasonable. Media is saved quickly and camera tools are intuitive but basic when compared to a flagship device. Sound quality over headphones is fine, speakers are nothing to write home about, but will get the job done. Reception was good, I averaged 84 Mbps down / 14 Mbps up using Verizon in the United States. This phone is a major departure from the J7 that was offered in it's place previously in the US. The high screen/body ratio and well finished body offer a premium feel without breaking the bank. This phone is a good option for Android users who prefer the Samsung experience and perks to that of a closer to stock Android experience. As someone who maintains a large number of enterprise Android devices, I would recommend this phone over most mid-range devices available in the United States.
