Wala ip68 ang A50…pero sa isang post niyo meron nakalagay which is misleading to buyers. Paki correct.

The official A50 variant launching in the Philippines is the 6GB/128GB model. No word if Samsung will carry the 4GB variant here given that we still have the A7 2018 in the market.

Whoever bought the even number J series and A7/A9 2018 must be feeling a huge deal of regret right now.

I do. The A50 even has the same price as the A7 i bought!

A50’s price is quite competive among the midrange segment

the only one true disruptor against it is Pocophone F1, similarly priced and has an actual flagship level SoC. if you’re a gamer, you’d love this although i’ve been hearing some inconsistent reports on touch display issues for the F1

A50’s advantage over F1:
IP68 rating
AMOLED screen
Triple cameras (on paper only, actual performance remain to be seen)

Samsung Galaxy A30’s Exynos 7904 chipset is comparable to a Snapdragon 636 chipset although the Snapdragon one has better specs on paper in terms of core performance. Real life performance difference between the two chipsets is expected to be negligible though.

A30 on the average is Php 3K more expensive than its other brand counterparts with Snapdragon 636. What it has over them is:
1. Protection (rated IP68)
2. Better screen (AMOLED)
(possibly) 3. The rear camera has higher pixel count although the actual performance remains to be seen

i need to correct myself. Samsung initially mentioned during their early preview of these phones that A30 and A50 have IP68 rating but they seem to have removed that already from their recent marketing materials
