Samsung resmi merilis Galaxy A50 di Indonesia. Mengusung fingerprint bawah layar dan fitur lainnya, ponsel ini dilepas seharga Rp 4 jutaan. Ini unboxing-nya.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A90 will feature a “Notchless Infinity screen” according to a page on the company’s website (first spotted by Galaxy Club) that appears to have been updated to include the unannounced model. The phone is expected to be announced next month and will sit at the top of Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy A series above the existing Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A30.
That could simply mean that the phone will have a hole-punch display like the Galaxy S10, but rumors have suggested that the Galaxy A90 will be able to avoid any cut-out by having a pop-up selfie camera, like last year’s Vivo Nex. Ice Universe, a frequent leaker, was first to make this claim back at the beginning of February, and Samsung’s promotion for its upcoming announcement event includes a skateboarder doing an ollie, which SlashGear speculates is another hint at a pop-up camera.
It’s unclear exactly how the “Notchless Infinity screen” will differ from Samsung’s regular “Infinity Display.” Technically, Samsung’s 2017 Galaxy S8 featured an Infinity Display and didn’t have a notch because it had bezels instead. However, at the company’s developer conference last November, Samsung announced four different kinds of Infinity screens. Two of them (the U and the V) feature notches, one (the O, which we saw on the Galaxy S10) has a hole-punch cutout, and the final screen was a so-called “New Infinity” display, which featured no notches or cutouts at all.
Working out which display the Galaxy A90 will have all depends on whether Samsung categorizes the Infinity-O’s hole-punch as a notch or not. If it doesn’t, then its “notchless” promise could simply mean that the phone has a similar screen to the Galaxy S10.
If Samsung is about to announce its first phone with a pop-up selfie camera, then the Galaxy A series would be the right range for it. Last year, the company’s mobile head said that Samsung planned on debuting new features on its mid-range phones, and that’s exactly what the company has since done. The Galaxy A7 was its first phone with three rear cameras, the Galaxy A9 had four, and the Galaxy A8s was its first phone with a hole-punch display.
The Samsung Galaxy A90 is expected to be announced at an event on April 10th.
Samsung recently launched its Galaxy A50 smartphone in India that was launched along with its Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A10 handsets. The smartphone comes with an AMOLED panel, an in-display fingerprint scanner, a triple rear camera setup and houses the Exynos 9610 SoC. On paper, all this sounds very good, but is it actually as good to use? We spent a few days with the Samsung Galaxy A50 smartphone to review it and here are our observations:
Design and Display
It was honestly hard to decide which aspect of Samsung Galaxy A50 was the best one as far as its design goes. Because there are so many of them. Samsung Galaxy A50 sports a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display, that is simply brilliant. And if you flip over, you will see that the back panel of the handset refracts light into a rainbow-like pattern, making it look extremely beautiful. Let’s talk in detail about both before we declare a winner.
The front panel of Samsung Galaxy A50 is dominated by the 6.4-inch screen, which has the exact same size and panel type as Galaxy A30 and Galaxy M30. Interestingly, all three models also come with the same Infinity-U shaped notch on their displays. However, the bezels are trimmed down and the display offers a 91.6% screen-to-body ratio. By doing this, Samsung has ensured that the handset is in-line with the newest trends. We should point out that the chin is slightly broader, but then, at this price point, it’s not a very big deal. The fact is that Samsung has tried to make the smartphone look very contemporary and has succeeded in doing so.
Samsung Galaxy A50 comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner, and we’ll talk about its performance later. Although the material used in the smartphone has not been disclosed, it is speculated to be plastic or polycarbonate. The handset has curved edges and even the back panel is slightly curved, which definitely helps one-handed usage.
Samsung Galaxy A50 is available in three colours in India – Black, White and Blue. The unit that we got for review was dressed in Black. Although the company says that it is Black, it looks more like Grey and the back panel of the smartphone refracts into rainbow patterns. Besides this, the back panel of the Samsung Galaxy A50 also houses the vertically stacked triple rear camera setup on its upper left corner and an LED flash lies right below it. There is also a Samsung logo on the back panel of the smartphone.
The power and the volume rocker buttons are placed on the right edge of the device and the SIM tray is housed on the left. The bottom edge of the Samsung Galaxy A50 has a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a speaker grille.
To conclude, we will say that the overall look and feel of the smartphone is great. The built is solid and the device looks very premium. One handed usage was a cakewalk on the Samsung Galaxy A50 we didn’t find the smartphone to be slippery at all. Although we couldn’t decide whether the screen is the best aspect of the smartphone’s design or the back panel that refracts light into rainbow patterns is, we should say it’s most definitely a tie.
Coming to the display of the smartphone, it projected rich colours that stayed consistent at all viewing angles. Some may feel that the colours were a little saturated, but we found them to be perfect for our taste. One of the key highlights of the Samsung Galaxy A50 is that in addition to turning the Bluelight filter on for eye-protection, users can also switch on the dark mode, which seriously helps in saving battery.
We watched a lot of content on YouTube during our time with the device, and we really enjoyed doing so. The images appeared crisp and the device could even play videos at 1080p well. The sunlight readability of the smartphone could have been better. But if we have to sum up the display, we would definitely say that it is one of the good aspects of the smartphone.
Performance and Cameras
Samsung Galaxy A50 is powered by Exynos 9610 SoC clubbed with 4GB RAM or 6GB RAM. The smartphone comes with a triple rear camera setup comprising of a 25MP sensor with auto-focus and f/1.7 aperture, a 5MP sensor with fixed-focus and f/2.2 aperture and an 8MP sensor also with fixed focus and f/2.2 aperture. For selfies and video calls, there is a 25MP sensor with fixed-focus and f/2.0 aperture. Samsung Galaxy A50 handset comes with 64GB storage and can support a microSD card of up to 512GB. For security, there is an in-display fingerprint scanner and the device has support for a face unlock feature. Samsung Galaxy A50 houses a 4,000mAh battery and runs One UI based on Android 9.0 Pie.
We’ll begin by talking about the One UI. For starters, One UI is definitely an improvement over Samsung’s Experience UI in terms of the look and usability. The text and icons on the device are bigger than before and in general, it looks cleaner than Experience UI. It may take a little bit of time to get used to, but we definitely found it better than Experience UI that we have used on other Samsung devices. The changes may look minute to some, but they are certainly very useful ones. For instance, the back button has now been placed at the bottom right of the smartphone screen, since that is where our thumb usually is when we are scrolling down in Settings.
There is also an option of disabling the app drawer completely and users can also decide whether to open it using a swipe or a tap. The more you dig into the sub-menus of the Settings, the more options you will find. One UI is definitely a breath of fresh air after using Experience UI for ages. As we mentioned earlier, the option of enabling Dark mode is also there and if you think you spend too much time on your device, you can restrict yourself using Digital Wellbeing. The handset also comes with Samsung Pay Mini for carrying out UPI transactions.
One thing that was a bit of pain, was that Samsung Galaxy A50 sends too many notifications and it comes with some bloatware. The additional apps on the handset include Amazon India, Dailyhunt, Microsoft Office and LinkedIn. Some of them can be removed or disabled.
Most day-to-day tasks ran well on the smartphone. While the device could handle most of the tasks well, it wasn’t exactly a great multi-tasker. When we tried using the device for navigation and watching videos at the same time, the smartphone started heating up. The same happened when we tried downloading too many apps together on the Samsung Galaxy A50 smartphone all together.
Gaming gave a similar experience. While games like Alto’s Odessey and Temple ran smoothly, the same cannot be said about heavier ones like Asphalt 9: Legends. Coming to the fingerprint scanner of the smartphone, its recognition was a little slow. And this was particularly true if our finger was moist. However, the face unlock makes up for it since it was very accurate even in dimly lit areas.
The battery life of the device is one aspect of the Samsung Galaxy A50’s performance that we really liked. With normal usage, the battery easily lasts more than a day. During this time, we watched videos, clicked photos, used the smartphone for navigation and listened to music.
Coming to the cameras of the smartphone, we have to say that we are very impressed with them. As we mentioned earlier, the Samsung Galaxy A50 has a triple rear camera setup that comprises of a 25MP sensor, an 8MP sensor and a 5MP depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, there is a 25MP sensor on the front panel.
The camera app of the smartphone comes with a Live Focus mode for portraits, slow-motion video mode, Hyper-Lapse mode and timelapse. The camera app also comes with intelligent scene optimization. You can easily switch between all of these from within the app and also use the Bokeh effect that will give you some very nice shots.
The images taken from Samsung Galaxy A50 turned out to be really good. In the day time, the images taken were sharp, the colours were rich and there was a lot of clarity and detail. We liked the performance of the wide-angle camera too, but we have to admit that the quality was slightly lower than the images taken from the primary camera. Another thing that we should point out is that when you transfer the images taken to a laptop, not all of them look as great as they do on the smartphone’s screen.
Night photography could be better. The images taken in dimly lit areas lacked details and were not as clear as the ones taken during the day.
The selfie camera of the Samsung Galaxy A50 worked very well. We clicked a number of selfies with it, and in some of them we even turned on the live bokeh mode. The self-portraits from Samsung Galaxy A50 turned out to be really neat, in well-lit as well as in dimly-lit conditions.
When we ran benchmark tests on the smartphone, it scored 1,726 and 5,592 in single and multi-core scores of Geekbench and 1,44,145 in Antutu.
Verdict
The price of Samsung Galaxy A50 smartphone begins at Rs 19,990. While the device is amazing in terms of looks and has a vibrant display and a lasting battery, certain aspects of its performance could have been better. For instance, we would have liked to see the smartphone not heat up when we tried to multi-task with it. If design, display and battery are important to you in a handset, Samsung Galaxy A50 would not disappoint you. However, if your usage is too heavy, you may not be too happy with it.

Hoe snel of langzaam is de nieuwe Samsung Galaxy A50? Of beter gezegd: hoe snel of langzaam is de Exynos 9610, die we voor het eerst tegenkomen op de Nederlandse markt?
Samsung Galaxy A50 benchmarks
Jarenlang gebruikte Samsung haar beproefde Exynos 7880 en 7885 processoren in een flink aantal mid-range smartphones. Ook dit jaar verschijnen nog toestellen op de markt met deze soc – of een afgeleide daarvan, zoals de 7904. Maar eindelijk verschijnt er ook een nieuwe mid-range processor van de Zuid-Koreanen. Dit is de op een 10 nanometer proces gefabriceerde Exynos 9610. De Galaxy A50 is de eerste telefoon die ermee is uitgerust.
De Exynos 788x processoren waren niet bijzonder snel, maar wel energiezuinig. De verwachting is, dat dat bij de Exynos 9601 niet heel veel anders zal zijn – maar een beetje meer power moet hij natuurlijk wel te bieden hebben. Zoals je weet zijn wij hier natuurlijk geen professioneel testlab, maar een eerste indruk krijgen we ook met een handvol huis-tuin-en-keukenbenchmarks wel. We vergelijken de prestaties met die van de Exynos 7885, zoals eerder onder meer getest in de Galaxy A8.
Resultaten
In Geekbench’ test zien we dat de Galaxy A50 met de Exynos een single-core score behaalt rond de 1700. De multi-score ligt tussen de 5600 en 5700. Voor deze laatste een flinke sprong vooruit – de 7885 doet hier respectievelijk ongeveer 1500 en 4200. Daarmee is de Galaxy A50 toch flink sneller dan serie-genoten uit 2018 als de A8 en A7.
In AnTuTu is het verschil nog duidelijker. Met een totaalscore tussen de 145000 en 150000, en een CPU score rond de 62000 is hij duidelijk krachtiger. De A8 blijft in de huidige versie van de benchmark steken bij een score rond de 125000. Bovendien gebruikt Samsung in de Galaxy A50 het betere LPDDR4 geheugen, wat voor hogere overdrachtssnelheden zorgt.
Grafisch
Waar de Exynos 7885 ARM’s Mali-G71 GPU heeft, krijgt de 9610 de Mali-G72 GPU mee met 3 cores. Ook op dit vlak mogen we dus meer vuurwerk verwachten. En inderdaad, dat zit wel snor. De tests van GFXBench laten prestaties zien die ongeveer 50% hoger liggen. De A50 haalt anderhalf keer zoveel frames per seconde dan de Galaxy A8, bijvoorbeeld.
In 3DMark’s Sling Shot Extreme test zijn de scores ongeveer verdubbeld. Ook dat komt uiteindelijk neer op framerates die ongeveer 50% hoger liggen – net als in GFXBench.
Galaxy A50 prestaties
Duidelijk is, dat de Galaxy A50 en de Exynos 9610 duidelijk betere prestaties leveren dan de eerdere Galaxy A-modellen met de Exynos 7885. Ook is duidelijk dat de getoonde resultaten natuurlijk een heel eind weg liggen van de high-end processoren in toestellen als de Galaxy S10 en Galaxy S9. De Exynos 9610 is en blijft een echte mid-range soc, die toch vooral ook energiezuinig moet zijn.
Hoe dit alles zich op de A50 vertaalt naar de dagelijkse praktijk lees je in onze aankomende review van het toestel.
Nous l’avions rencontré au cours du MWC 2019 :
« Le Galaxy A50 partagera la même taille d’écran que le A30 (6,4 pouces ) et obtient un chipset plus rapide grâce à l’utilisation du chipset Exynos 9610 (Quad 2.3GHz + Quad 1.7GHz), il sera également disponible en configurations de 4 Go ou 6 Go de RAM, avec des options de stockage de 64 Go ou 128 Go (extensible via micro USB + double SIM et prise jack). Le téléphone est doté d’une configuration triple caméra avec une caméra 25MP + 5MP + 8GB à l’arrière et un capteur 25MP à l’avant. »
En plus d’une batterie de 4000 mAh, on retrouve un appareil doté d’un écran FHD+ (1080×2340) Super AMOLED de dimension 158.5 x 74.7 x 7.7mm, bref un joli milieu de gamme, qui n’est pas aussi puissant que le S10, mais qui donnera parfaitement le change à moindre coût.
