Overview

The Samsung Galaxy 50s is a feature packed mid-range smartphone with a huge 6.4-inch AMOLED display and 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution, with Waterdrop notch above the screen. The Galaxy A50s is the upgraded version of the A50. The obvious upgrade however, is in the camera department, which is the use of a 48-megapixel sensor as the main sensor in the triple rear camera setup, instead of the 25-megapixel sensor used in the standard Galaxy A50.

Specification wise, the device is powered by the latest Exynos 9810 Octa-core CPU clocked at 2.3GHz, integrated with Mali-G72 MP3. It has both 4/6 GB RAM and 32/64 GB expandable storage versions. 

The aforementioned triple rear camera is a combination of a 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide angle lense, and a 5 MP depth sensor, featuring PDAF, f/2.0 aperture and a single LED flash. At the front, there’s yet another large 32-megapixel front-facing camera for selfie and video chats.

The device retains same 4000mAh built-in battery, with 15W fast charging features as seen on the Galaxy A30, and also supports USB Type-C interface, and Android 9.0 (Pie) out of the box. Other key specifications and silent features of the Samsung Galaxy A50s are contained in the table below.
