Samsung Galaxy A50 brings the in-display fingerprint scanner to the mid-range

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series may be where the limelight is, but the Galaxy A series is probably where we will find devices we can actually afford. With that said, there are now two new members of the Samsung Galaxy A family, the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50.

Both devices feature a large 6.4″ FHD+ Super AMOLED display, which should put some pressure on other mid-range smartphones as Samsung’s AMOLED displays are widely regarded as the best in the industry. There’s an Infinity-U notch where Samsung houses the selfie camera. Under the 3D Glasstic back is where you will find a 4000 mAh battery in both the Samsung Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50. All three devices also support Samsung Pay mini, Bixby Home and Samsung’s not-so-fast Fast Charging.

That’s pretty much where all the similarities end, with the Samsung Galaxy A50 offering higher-end hardware than the Galaxy A30. Samsung even packed the Galaxy A50 with an in-display fingerprint scanner, making it the fourth device in Samsung’s lineup to feature one. If you count the Galaxy S10 5G, then it would be the fifth.

Pokdepinion: The specifications are actually pretty good, but knowing Samsung, the new Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 aren’t going to be cheap with all those features.
