I really like it and was thinking of buying it,but without ip68 I will not.

    Had a play with the a50 in the Samsung store. I like the design, the plastic build is OK, no creaks and doesn't feel cheap but lacks the heft, sturdiness and quality of the previous years a8 glass, metal body. Beautiful amoled screen as expected and generally felt fast and fluid. Only £309 in the UK which is a good price considering last year the a8 rrp around £400+. I'll probably get one to replace my a5 2017. I would of preferred premium body and ip68 certification, but the lower price is a nice trade off.

      In india 6/64 @ 23000 rs. = 330 $. At this price I wish it should be metal body, & earphone with this phone is very poorest quality by samsung ever. Otherwise performance wise OK. Samsung play different game here with RN7 pro and I think samsung get benefits. Samsung sell a series from local retailers so it's easyl available. But RN7 pro very difficult to get through online flash sale.

            i was considering the a50 at first ,but i was not impressed with the indisplay finger print scanner and the plastic build. Ive chosen the honor 8x over the a50,mainly coz of sturdy build and the kirin 710 soc.

                      Regarding gsmarenas camera review . I don't agree on certain terms.
                      The camera is better than said on the review. But i find rear video quality to be mediocre in comparison.
                      Selfie camera is topnotch even in lowlight but it smooths and has a beautifying effect. Hence the images are unnatural at times.
                      One plus point regarding the camera is that macro shots are stunning.

Phone has a great display, good camera and amazing battery life, as explained in the review. Build quality is very good, I check out the phone for a few hours and it feels solid.

                              I'm hard-pressed on choosing between A50 or Mi 9 SE (global version). Which do you think is more bang for the buck?

                                  It look like Xiaomi Mi9...

                                    mehdi, 19 Apr 2019In most places the A50 is sold at 350$. Maybe you are luck... moreI've got mine for only $305 Brandnew here in UAE. which has only 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM variant.
