Form and Build: 10/10
Simple, Sleek, but sturdy. The glass is Gorilla Corning 3, so it shouldn't break easily, and to top it off it comes with a scratch guard preinstalled! (Don't worry it doesn't affect the fingerprint scanner) It also comes with a clear rubber case, so you don't have to worry about using it until you get a better one. The screen is massive, and the notch is unobtrusive. Overall a solid design. My only complaint is the back of the phone is a fingerprint magnet, but that is me being a nitpicking clean-freak.
Features: 9/10
I upgraded from an ancient S7, and even then their were features on the phone I rarely used. The A50 has all the ones I wanted, but none of the ones I don't. Triple camera? Check. 6.4 inch Super AMOLED screen? Check. 25MP selfie cam? Check. Headphone jack? Check. The list goes on. The fingerprint scanner is fast and consistent, so long as you are really careful setting it up, as I have had no issues with it. I have not tried the Facial Recognition yet. I am not the biggest fan of NFC, so it's omission doesn't bother me. If you really want it get the A505U. My only real complaint is the lack of Private Mode, since I like having an easy to access secure way of storing sensitive information like logins and banking info.
Storage space is great too! 128 GB of internal, and expandable up to 512 GB more! I have never run into RAM shortages with this 4 GB version even with heavy multitasking.
Performance: 10/10
In most of the reviews I read people were complaining about how sluggish the phone is. I have had no issues, but I also run a very tight ship, and optimize my devices far beyond what most people are willing to. If you feel it struggles playing games or simple UI navigation, look up "Galaxy A51 Beast Mode" on Youtube. Everything that he explains is possible on this phone as well.
Camera: 9/10
This camera is amazing! Macro shots are so precise I notice flaws that I couldn't ordinarily see! The key is lighting. If you have good lighting then your shots will come out great, since digital cameras really struggle in low light. How do you fix this at night? Night mode! It is not as clear, but does take really nice shots in the dark where most other phones would struggle. Make sure you set the picture ratio to [3:4]25MP to make full use of the main camera, otherwise you can select other ratios to make use of the wide angle camera, which looks awesome as well!
Overall: 9/10
I was hoping to get the UK variant of the phone like some people here got, but I got the Arabian model. No differences other an having to set up languages and some other settings manually, and a weird ID for the United Arab Emirates. Other than that it works flawlessly with AT&T and Verizon (I use the Dual SIM feature), and has been a great asset to my work and home life. I spent 2 hours updating to Android 10 and it was totally worth it. It almost gives the Pixel 3a a run for it's money, and for $50 cheaper!
I love it. Feels more high end than it is. Includes some high end software that is useful (!) from Samsung. No case included which is lame. Outside the USA they get a clear case. Not a big deal. I love this phone!
Edit: I couldn't make calls because it was European so I had to return it and buy it from Walmart. The internet worked perfectly on WiFi but not data. Still a great phone if you're in Europe
Also, the 15% charged phone came in a box with the charger adapter plugs (2 plugs) and no CABLE to hook it up to your phone. I just think a basic necessity is a charger cable? The phone itself didn't have any sort of plastic around it at all, it was just haphazardly laying in the box. The phone back also feels misaligned and is slightly rough to touch and there is fuzz IN the side of the phone, but it functions. So..

I prefer this mid-range A50 to the S9 for the following reasons:
Larger screen, better battery life, light weight, non curved screen (can now use glass screen protectors again, feels high quality and if I want to upgrade my phone in a couple of years I can for a few hundred pounds rather than a thousand on the latest S series.
A great phone and from a previous user of the S7 and S9 I greatly prefer this range of phone. It does not feel like a step down to me.
Cameras are superb on front and back, they hold their own with much more expensive phones.
Not sure on all the specs but the phone works quick and snappy.
Negatives: not water proof and not front double speakers.
Good display
Con
Battery drains quickly
RAM is always used up by some app.
P.S I recieved 4gb not 6gb. Seller hasn't replied to my query as well.
