As of May 1, the Samsung Galaxy A50 is available SIM-free from Samsung for £309.
Vodafone is also offering the A50 on two contract plans: the Red Extra plan starts from £30 per month with no upfront cost, including unlimited calls and texts and 1GB of mobile data; the Red Entertainment package is priced from £45 per month, and includes unlimited calls and texts, 25GB of data, and a choice of Amazon Prime Video, Sky Sports Mobile TV, Spotify Premium or a NOW TV Entertainment Pass.
While we haven’t reviewed the A50 in full, we’ve spent hands-on time with it. We thought the device looked very swish indeed, with the iridescent metallic finish giving it a prism-like gleam.
Four colours are available when you buy the A50 Samsung: black, white, coral, and blue. Vodafone currently only offers the black version.
The top of the A50’s 6.4-inch, 2340 x 1080 AMOLED screen has a subtle dewdrop notch, and the 25-megapixel selfie camera within is capable of recording video in 1080p at 30fps. The chipset is an Exynox 9610, and it runs the latest Android 9.0 operating system enhanced by Samsung’s One UI skin.
