Samsung Galaxy A50 - user opinions and reviews

Samsung is hijacking all other apps on this mobile WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! Every firmware update causes this to become more and more tyrannical and oppressive. I'm tired of having apps forced on me against my will. Their calendar just stole data out of my Google calendar without my permission. I keep force stopping this app. Samsung just force starts it again as soon as you force stop it. The camera quality is still extremely poor. You can no longer make screen shots through the Gallery app. You now have to give Samsung access to your media, because you can only use their Samsung Capture. I cannot delete FaceBook or YouTube off of the modile, or any of the Bixby applications, which I do not want.

Unless you care about your health don't get the redmi since it have a relatively high specific absorption rate of radio waves, unlike A50 that has a safe SAR.

I'm sorry for your loss, but it seems that the quality of samsung products depends on region. My family use mostly samsung phones, and the only defected unit we had was an S3, I have a 3.5 years old Tab A 9.7 that I use for reading,and my A50 for gaming and other uses.
Hope you are happy with your new phone. Frankly I don't give a damn if you use a samsung phone or not, everyone has his preferences.

C... moreI was about to buy a Pixel 3A XL but it was 180 euros more expensive than the A50, with a bigger body but smaller screen. It didn't make sense at all and Samsung didn't have compelling phones with a 4000mAh battery. My S8 had terrible battery life with 3000mAh, so I bought the A50. I didn't want to buy a chinese phone, mostly because of my OLED obsession, and ONE UI was pretty good.
Samsung lacks general quality. Their standards are pretty low because my Tab S5e for example has terrible black uniformity and "jelly scrolling" in vertical mode. Its fingerprint sensor on the side is also not responsive and accurate enough. And even though it cost 420 euros it doesn't receive monthly security updates. Android 10 is scheduled for 1.5 years after launch...
It's not only the optical or ultra sonic sensor being slow. I have had a faster fp sensor on a 200 euro chinese phone from 2016 than an S8, S9 and Note 9. I don't know how they can't use good quality stuff when others can, especially being a huge corporation...
Samsung mobile and screen division have lost quality over time. The memory division is thankfully the most reliable and doesn't lack in quality.
I don't have to prove my purchase to some stranger but here is my serial number: R58M54DT2KZ
I'm not gonna lie, people aren't buying this phone off of me. It's 6 months old and they are trying to lowball me for 180 euros...I want to turn it into a PC display for temperature readings but I don't know how ;(

TrashA50LMAO, 11 Jan 202040c while playing pubg is it normal plz tell me No, call the fire department, quick!....Did you even read what I wrote before? Even 50-60C would be normal. Those are tiny GPU's and CPU's and create obviously heat while computing. You can't expect performance out of thin air and have your phone at room temperature...
If it were to overheat it would throttle. There are safety measures to reduce the speed thus the heat before something blows up or catches fire.
