I had mine since 2019 and it's still working but it's also definitely laggy and I will need to replace it, it did last 7 years though so it still deserves some praise
I am able to get the keyboard to pop up if I long press and select something, like copy, from the menu. But I assume they keyboard is supposed to open easier than that. I'm using Galaxy A50, Android 11, Firefox 121 (latest).
My a50 lasted well while I had it then I upgraded too a note 20 ultra then downgraded to s10 then upgraded too s22 ultra now I have s25 ultra
my previous one ❤ still have that.Better display quality than iphn13 .Watch movies and all smoothly...
Bro I have this smartphone ,the phone is fast but I update the phone ,I click the switch off button it's close slow and it is not fast by update and you may help me bro .And android 10 is not available in my device
I have used it since it came out now and i can confirm that the battery life is as good as when it was brand new. Amazing screen and battery life makes up for the lack of optical zoom for me. But the a51 might be worth getting because of the better fingerprint sensor and better camera. [...]
The speakers on this are awful. I had to upgrade. Sound for videos or music only comes out the bottom and sounds like it's under water
I have the phone definitely a great buy the phone has no problems battery is great and it's reliable
My problem with this phone is, whenever i unlock it using finger print.it will automatically direct me to my secured folder.. why is that? Hope u can help me
[...] I bought this phone. [...] After update finger speed improve. And camera improve. [...]

Broo i have used mine for about a week now but it is very slow in network how can i solve it
[...] U will see big difference in performance and battery backup.. I have no lags.. [...]
Unfortunately, mine has encountered some problems.. like overheating, restarting, shutting down and not turning on back, doesnt stop charging at 100%, very unpleasant. Never dropped it, never use it while charging in one month and a half.
My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy A50, and it was pretty good as far as the hardware went. But I felt that Android was bad; I couldn't help but notice that a number of the apps loaded very slowly and had other small glitchy issues. Nothing that would compel a person to switch phones, just a lot of mostly minor inconveniences, except for 2 that really stick out right now: the Android messages web app always had a hard time connecting to my phone even when the phone was clearly on, had the messages app open, and was connected to same wifi as my computer; and second, Chrome recently just started becoming unopenable (like it would open and then immediately close for some reason). These are just a couple data points in a bag of info and anecdata that has made me question whether Google is a company whose products are worth investing in, gives a damn, etc. [...]
[...] Overall happy with the camera and media.. However the UI tends to get a little glitchy at times.. [...] Hasn't yet updated to the latest patch yet.will give it some time. I'm not really impressed with the battery.. I have used an mi phone and it lasted longer. [...]
I have been using A50 for the past one month and this is my honest opinion. [...] The display is really good and one of the best you can get in this price range. [...] The battery life is okay. [...] Initially my phone used to heat up while using normally and playing games. [...] The camera is okay in good lighting conditions. As the light becomes limited the performance is very disappointing. Even a phone which costs 10k could perform better in low light. Also, when you zoom out there is lack of detail and too much noise even when there is ample light. [...] There is some lag in the system UI here and there, while opening apps etc. [...] Samsung really needs to push out a June update to fix all these issues.
Today is the 6th year anniversary for buying this phone, i'm getting S24 soon.
I have been using this Sumsang galaxy A50 since May-2019, it has unlock all my curiosity on phone taste in all angle, indeed it is awesome! [...]
