Samsung Galaxy A50 Review: A classy Mid-Rangers
Samsung seems to be in the mood to hit back hard this year. The South Korean behemoth began 2019 with the launch of India centric Galaxy M20 and M10, which it claims have done overwhelmingly well. More recently, Samsung unpacked its 2019 flagships – Galaxy Fold and Galaxy S10-series – right before MWC 2019. Now, the company has once again turned the heat up in the budget and mid-range segment with three new editions – Galaxy M30, Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A30. (Samsung Galaxy A50 review हिंदी में पढ़िए)

Samsung Galaxy A50 Review: Design and Build Quality
Samsung Galaxy A50 carry forwards the set legacy of A-series. The phone casts a positive spell as soon as you take it out of the box. Thanks to its curved back and light build, it offers excellent in-hand feel. The facia is dominated by a stunning, nearly edge-to-edge display with a u-shaped notch on top and a slight chin at the bottom.
Looking at it from the rear side, it reminds me of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 with its 3D Glasstic (as Samsung calls it) back panel. The rear panel has a glossy glass finish but it is actually made of polycarbonate. Samsung has cleverly tapered the edges ensuring good ergonomics and easy single hand operation.
The slim side rail is also made of polycarbonate with power and volume rocker stacked on the right edge – both of which offer a gratifying tactile response. All ports and the loudspeaker find a place on the bottom edge, while the SIM tray goes in a slit on the left edge.
As for the build quality, we didn’t see any bending or hear any creaking when we applied pressure on the back with our thumbs. All in all, the Galaxy A50 is thoroughly premium and solid.
