    Should I buy Samsung A50?

    I did the same but from the note 9 and have to say this phone holds up to most things as well in how I use it. The only weakness I feel is the camera, brilliant in good light but struggles in low light I feel. Yeah the savings are great I got mines outright and £50 cashback from Samsung and...

    Should I buy Samsung A50?

    I am using the a50 and previously had the s8 and note 9 and have to say the A50 is excellent. For the most part it performs as well as flagships. The screen is fantastic, the inscreen fingerprint scanner is now really good - so much so I had to try with a different finger to see if it just...

    A50

    To be honest I don't think hardware is the issue with the camera but the software there. The a70 camera also got critiqued a bit for results. It has definitely gotten better with updates though. The thing is the camera isn't bad at all, it's just that it feels it could be better based on the...

    storage permission disabled but app still saves data

    It could likely be due to the requirement to download is pretty much the point of the app? A streaming app that couldn't write to memory at all couldn't even open! You seem to be very uneasy with this phone, have you considered an iPhone where it's less user intensive and you might be more...

    A50

    The camera isn't bad. It is the one thing I can see the difference on compared to the note 9, it has an exceptional camera. That's not to say the A50 is bad, its not and I've got some great photos on it, it's just not a note 9 level and nor should it be. Hope that rambling makes some sense....

    A50

    I've had the phone 3 months now...I've previously had an s8 and a note 9 so the bar was set high. The A50 though is an incredible phone. Breezes through everything I ask of it, browser is fantastic and I see little to no lag at all. Best of all the battery life is epic! Charged to 75% and 15...

    Find My Mobile turns on by itself

    Mell, folks are just trying to help. There is ambiguity about whether you are talking about the Google find or the Samsung one as the device carries both. Honestly, if privacy is such a concern I would strongly encourage you to get an iPhone! Even with all find my device options disabled your...

    We got our own forum! - A50 thoughts

    The camera seems to get a bit better with every update. Now has super slow Mo and night mode which is really good actually. The chip never struggles, apart from when I play rise of kingdoms which is a really big game, slight lag with that but no other app that I've seen. My s8 struggled with...

    Samsung health step counter

    Hi is anyone else having problems with the step counter? Mines isn't counting any steps at all and not sure how to fix this. Just noticed that it hasn't been counting any since I bought the phone. Does it lack this feature or is it my app?
