04 July 2019
It outdid even a few older flagship phones.

I've owned an iPhone before and now I'm using an A50 for a month. I've brought it to trips and so far, I'm loving the results. Mind you I love photography and also love fiddling with settings. But just using the camera with a subtle change in exposure if needed will surprise you a lot. I use it in my travel and so far I don't have to use pro mode just to capture a great image. The addition of a wide-angle lens is also great. I don't mind if this test is an ad or paid, but as far as practical application goes, my A50 is going well.

Hopefully, they upgrade the pro mode, because basically it's not needed because of how well the processing of the camera app goes.

    Anonymous, 04 Jul 2019Samsung a8(2018) scored 79 while samsung a9(2018) scored 86... moreA paid rating means nothing. The reviews everywhere show clearly that its cameras aren't on the level of other mid rangers, aren't enough good and with several lacks at low light and video. Dx0Mark lost it's credibility with clear fake reviews like with the One Plus 7 score, the A50, etc.

    They are probably even using edited images or, at least, done with its own processing software under the paid of Samsung and others. Software that you don't have in your phone when you purchase it. So that automatically convert the review in a fake. But even with the best software you can't do miracles as the sensors aren't enough good too.

                          extrabigmehdi, 04 Jul 2019I think people that rate low the A50 camera, just don't kno... morelol everybody knows that.... it's just that the camera itslef is not good enough...

                            I never trusted DXO for camera ranking, even on DSLRs or Mirrorless ILC. Their scores were variable and inconsistent especially when the phone being tested has more than one cameras. Also smartphone camera software significantly improves over time. I have a Poco and it only scored 92 and 91 for photo and video respectively but that test was done before the 960fps, night mode, 4k60, 1080p60 update of the stock camera app. A50 has superior main camera than Poco, it's either Samsung has neutered the capabilities of the SoC through their firmware or maybe updates would come that would greatly improve it. I expected more from A50 and I know Samsung can improve it in the future IF they really wanted to.

                                  Ok so we know that either LG don't pay dxo or they don't send them phones for free. That can be the only reason why A5 scored better than G7

                                  Gsmarena... I used to respect you, why you post news about what some doubtful companies like Dxo are doing?

                                    If you think dxo mark or antutu should determine what phone to buy then give your head a wobble.They give willy nilly scores to Sammy phones while antutu favouritism to Huawei,Xiaomi and anything Chinese..

                                      The noise reduction is so severe, pictures look like water colour paintings and you can't turn it off.
                                      Vegetation looks like squiggly worms.
                                      Dxomark is a quack.

                                        I think people that rate low the A50 camera, just don't know how to use it.
                                        First you must adjust focus, by pressing on the screen depending on your main target.
                                        Then only take your shot, and avoid to shake the camera.
