There is no simple answer to your question. It depends how aggressively apps in memory are frozen ( mean how you set the system ) and how many app you launch.

Lets say for me and aggressive killing apps in background I usually have 1 GB free. This corresponds with my 4GB Lenovo P2
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] dcpathak:
Thanks. I understand your point. Am just wondering if I restart the mobile and don't launch any heavy game or app, how much ram is taken by the os and the system apps. For example, in my mi max 2, 2gb is free of the 4gb ram.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] pabgar:
1,7 GB free after reboot but take in mind that I have some installed apps starting at boot
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Leolucas07:
I'm using A50 for a week No more scrolling issues and it keeps in memory upto 10 apps
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] dcpathak:
I am planning to buy A50. Would you please tell how the overall performance?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Leolucas07:
Overall performance is good and Battery performace is awesome it has 4000 mah battery no issues was found till now. You're good to go with that.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] dcpathak:
Your's is 4gb ram version or 6gb ram one? Am slightly confused as Samsung puts so much of bloatware that ram management takes a hit.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] pabgar:
European ROM has not much bloatware and you can disable almost all those obsolete apps. Also you must stay sharp when asked for agreements :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] dcpathak:
True. I would ultimately root it and remove all the bloatware but then it is not short-term plan.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] galaxyst:
Why to root? You can easily uninstall for current user any system application by adb. For example, I dont need preinstalled Microsoft office programs, so I turned on usb debugging in developer options and run adb:

adb devices

adb shell

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.office.powerpoint

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.office.excel

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.office.word

That is all. Note: if you uninstalled via adb shell, you can restore apps only if factory reset.

You can just disable, using: pm disable-user --user 0 ...

On your choise
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Leolucas07:
I'm having 4GB RAM. 4GB RAM and 6GB RAM you cannot notice that much difference between these two. But if you do more multitasking like you run 10 to 15 apps in background 6GB RAM would do better performance than 4GB version.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] dcpathak:
Thanks for the suggestions.this is definitely better than rooting.

Just to report that is not so good in RAM handling...
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] dcpathak:
Oh. How much ram remains available in your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] zorzgeo:
This is my usually free RAM with desired apps running in the background. Generally i am not complaining but think it's too much eated RAM or i am wrong? (don't playing games).View attachment 4741377

With normal phone usage phone doesn't heat up at all. When I'm heavy multitasking _watching a YouTube video while downloading a a torrent and reading a manga using tachiyomi and charging at the same time it does get noticeably warm but does not lag or become unbearable to hold

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Sumedh_:
The imx 576 sensor on Galaxy A50 captures bright images at night. It's impressive considering that it doesn't have a dedicated Nightmode except from the scene optmizer. The images i got were nearly as bright as the Rn7pro using it's night mode but the images lack details though they're less noisy & highlights get blowned out.

The front camera is best under lowlight besides RM3pro in my testing

EDIT : Latest update brings Night Mode on Galaxy A50 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] _abdoo:
June Patch update brings a new mode to the Camera App "Night", which is quite impressive for a mid range phone...[emoji7][emoji7]

Check those photos to see the differance:

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] x.shadow91.x:
I am just not convinced with the picture quality. My 13 MP camera on previous zenfone 2 was much better in terms of sharpness and detailing. In low light its just worse. I will share sample pics clicked with the phone . Hope this will be resolved with OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] A7mdXpii:
you what? Really you're comparing a flag ship dual camera with a50?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] yusufjee:
Yes, the quality is really bad and I hope this will improve with a future update.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] x.shadow91.x:
The low light sample is just garbage in quality rest is fine
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] tropbel:
Yeah, quality is very cheap for the sensor the phone has....

Before this phone i had a Xiaomi Mi A1, with Gcam , the quality was much better... Notice the Mi A1 is a 2 years old phone...

I'm not satisfy.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Eznhwr:
Yea, couldn't agree more with the quality of this camera. Way too soft even tho the object is just in front of you. Lack of detail compared to Redmi Note 7 stock cam which I had before. I just hope that this gets resolved with OTA.

Still waiting for also for the GCAM of this device. It'll be awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Wilky03:

Video quality is superb.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] t3chg33k:
Although the Samsung Camera app doesn't support recording beyond 1080p, the Exynos 9610 itself is capable of recording 4K at 120 FPS. However, only 4K30 at about 50 Mbps is available at present through third-party apps as can be seen in the screenshot. 1080p is unfortunately limited to 30 FPS as well, so hopefully Samsung will make better modes available with updates or else there will be no other option than to wait for root access.

[IMG="4K30 on A50"]https://i.imgur.com/OI5Jbbi.png[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Sumedh_:
Everything is fine under good lighting conditions, though highlights are usually blown out when there are lots of light sources nearby. Hdr isn't that great [MENTION=921577]1080P[/MENTION] 30fps.

The problem is that the Video recording capabilities reduces drastically under lowlight.

The solution for this is to use "Open Camera" app from playstore which supports 4k @30fps ( 48Mbps ), it not only just enables 4k, but the difference in dynamic range is night & day especially under lowlight.

Have a look : https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1NrXoZ75VCALXn0HUYMgZcJJVafI2xhM9

Why only "open camera"? because it's the only app that has better dynamic range & it truly feels like 4k & not just increase in file size. I've tested all other camera apps like, footej, fv-5, manual camera, etc are all crap, they just increase the resolution without any difference in dynamic range while others don't even show 4k rec option.

Lets hope that samsung will push 4k for their native camera app.

Cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] poog:
Is OPEN CAMERA limited to 48Mbps at 4k on the A50? higher bitrate settings don't work?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Sumedh_:
Valid !

》Sorry to say, but the 1080p video on A50 is straight outta crap. Even hdr is turned off for 1080p video which is outrageous!

》Both wide angle and normal video's are crappy with high noise levels and chromatic aberrations and over saturated colours.

》My moto G5 plus from 2016 with sd 625 shoots 1080p & 4k 30fps both with hdr on. It also has 1080p 60fps option. It totally destroys A50 even today in video recording capabilities. Hell even G5 plus has 1080p hdr on it's front cam.

》Even stabilization on G5 plus is a bit better unless we use super steady mode ( which is good only in good lighting conditions as it uses weaker wide angle lens. )

》Exynos 9610 is definitely more capable as 4k video from Hedgecam/Open camera is vastly superior to the the 1080p crap from stock cam of A50.

Here's an example, have a look yourself:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=10SDk7tGOGE-DgiENUEx0nDKyPj8_mYeY

》Don't even ask about lowlight video's from stock cam. It's pure trash ! Seems harsh, but that's the sad reality of our A50.

Cheers !

Hy to all ! I have a problem with my A50, about 2 moths ago I bought 2 A50, one for me , one for my wife, all good, i updated both to may firmwire OTA, but 2 weeks ago I change the way I was charging it, from fast to normal when I realized that it took a long time to charge so I swith it to fast charging. Today I put both phones in charge, mine was at 59 % and the other one at 49. After about one hour, when I checked, mine was 94 % and the other one was full. So how can I fix the charge to be normal again ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] aligold3n:
If i understand you correctly

This is not a problem i think

Its normal and charging speed depends on background apps you may have on your phone
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] itzic:
Not convincing, if i turn off mine, I bet it will charge slowly then my wife with 3G on and 5 apps in background, so another oppinion ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] tys0n:
Have you checked so that you still have fast charge enabled in device care/battery/settings?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] itzic:

I never said you were and well, you did ask for suggestions on how to fix it. It was just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] joinsudhakarreddy:
Charging speeds are great as it smartly slows down charging while using to reduce heat and charges in fast pace while idle. It has an option in settings of phone to opt fast charging or not.

No complains

In almost every review I saw/read of this phone I hear the reviewer complaining about the battery being worse than expected. In my experience with this phone and S8 before, SOT will slowly get better and after a couple of weeks, it will be at its best. I don't understand why this isn't noticed by those reviewers.

After about 10 days of use, I was surprised by almost 10 hours of SOT, just browsing and reading.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Real Life Review] Md Ashifur Rahman:
Amazing Battery Life!

Galaxy A50 Pro

To be honest, I bought this phone mostly because of it's screen on time! I usually get 7-8 hours SOT which I think is great! My LG G6 was a great phone, everything was awesome except the battery life! I would get 4-4.5 hours of screen on time, which was not enough! That's the reason I opted for Galaxy A50! 8 hours SOT with Super Amoled display was the sole reason!

[Galaxy A50] I use mobile data when I'm out of home, GPS is always on with the highest accuracy setting, manual brightness 40%-60%, always on display, AdGuard app, internet speed meter app running all the time! Most of time I use Chrome, Youtube, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter and some other apps. ;)

Galaxy A50 Cons

There's few things that are terrible like Cellular Signal Strength is very poor comparing my other phones like Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and LG G6! Mobile data really sucks! On screen fingerprint is way too slow! Even won't recognize always if you don't place your finger in the exact place of the screen! Oh man! It has been a real pain in the ass for me! I would like to get back my physical rear fingerprint from my previous phones! They are so fast and this on screen fingerprint is just crap!

Sometimes Wifi would stop working and you would probably scratch your head to figure out whats wrong! After diagnosing your router and internet connection, you would be so pissed to know that everything was just fine! Now you would reboot the phone! Bang! Wifi works again! :laugh:

When a noob starts a thread instead of searching first, there seems to be 2 schools of thought.

The first thought goes like this: If people answer their question, it just encourages them not to learn to search and to keep posting redundant threads.

The second thought is that we were all noob's once and we should help each other out, since that's what these forums are for.

My thinking is that if we follow the second path, it helps us all in the end. For those of us that do take the time to search, we are often bombarded with these redundant threads. If all of the redundant threads had redundant answers, we would only have to read the first thread to get our answer. But if many of the redundant threads are full of flame, it just takes that much longer to complete our search.

My 2 cents...
