Today Samsung revealed that its midrange mobile phone lineup will be concerning the United States this summertime, beginning with the $34999 Samsung Galaxy A50 The A50 was initially revealed in February and is recently making its method to the United States.

You will not discover Samsung’s hallmark “hole punch” video camera cutout from the Galaxy S10 here; the business is rather choosing a teardrop notch for the 25 MP front video camera, that makes the A50 look a lot like the OnePlus 6T It’s definitely not as unique as cutting a hole in the screen, however it is more area effective, permitting the A50 front video camera to fit inside the typical Android status bar. The Galaxy S10 front video camera is so deep into the screen that it needs a double-height status bar to surround it.

On the back is a triple-camera setup, including a 25 MP primary video camera, an 8MP wide-angle lens, and a 5MP depth sensing unit. There’s no rear finger print reader since the Galaxy A50 includes an in-display finger print reader, which is rapidly ending up being the standard for Android mobile phones. While the S10 has an ultrasonic finger print reader, this gadget has an optical reader, much like a OnePlus phone.

The $350 Galaxy A50 will be up versus other midrange phones like the $400 Google Pixel 3A.

It’s uh, “ Glasstic.” according to Samsung’s initial news release from February. Hands-on reports show that this is a corny name for clear plastic back layered over top of a colored back layer. So it’s the very same building and construction you would get with a glass-backed flagship, however performed in plastic rather.

Globally, not all variations of the Galaxy A50 have NFC, however the United States variation will be loading it, so you’ll benefit mobile payments. This is a more affordable gadget, so you are significantly losing out on cordless charging and water resistance.

The phone includes Android 9 Pie (with Samsung’s UI slathered on top) and does not have regular monthly security updates. According to Samsung’s security page, updates will show up “quarterly” for the A50
