Samsung has announced the first set of its 2019 A-series line-up today. The Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 bring interesting features to the mid-range category.
Galaxy A50
The Galaxy A50 has a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED 1080 x 2340 display. Samsung didn’t say if there is any protection in front but the rear is covered in 3D Glasstic. We believe this is glass covered with plastic for extra strength. The A50 has support for on-screen fingerprint unlocking.
The A50 is powered by an octa-core processor with 4 cores clocked at 2.3GHz and the other 4 cores clocked at 1.7GHz. This is the Exynos 9610 and it is paired with 4GB/6GB of RAM. Depending on the variant you pick, you get 64GB or 128GB of expandable storage (512GB max.).
The A50 prides itself as a camera-centric phone. It has a 25MP selfie camera with an F/2.0 aperture which has Selfie Focus to blur your portrait selfies. The rear has a triple camera setup – a 25MP f/1.7 camera paired with a 5MP f/2.2 depth sensor and an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide sensor. There are AI features including Scene Optimizer and Flaw Detection. It also has Bixby Vision – Samsung’s version of Google Lens.
The Galaxy A50 has a 4,000mAh battery with support for fast charging. It is available in Black, White, Blue, and Coral.
Galaxy A30
The Galaxy A30 has the same Infinity-U 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display. The resolution remains unchanged. It also features the same 3D Glasstic design as the A50.
The Exynos 7904 powers it and you get 3GB or 4GB of RAM paired with 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. A MicroSD card slot will allow you to add extra storage.
It has a 16MP f/1.7 primary camera on the back that is paired with a 5MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle lens. The selfie camera is a 16MP f/2.2 sensor. There is a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner along with support for Face Unlock.
The Galaxy A30 has the same 4,000mAh battery and also supports fast charging.

Samsung has not yet revealed the price of both phones and the markets where they will be sold.
