[@ianhinrichsendrummer2113]

It's a great phone, I have one. Reviews are not always accurate and are in the eyes or ears of the beholder. For Example, GSM Arena in their written review said that the vdo quality at 1080p was among the best they'd seen - Personally I think it's terrible compared even to my aging Huawei P9 Lite, however install Open Camera and its a world of difference. I always thought that a camera on a phone is only subject to the hardware, but that's not quite true, the app itself can play a huge role in pic/vdo quality. Also, with Open Camera , you can shoot 4k too, but not with the std camera app. GSM Arena also said that the phones music/audio speaker lacks high end and is not that great - it isn't great, but as an ex audiophile, who's fussy about sound quality, the A50 's speaker is not too bad at all, what it is lacking in a bit is bass, but it has plenty of high and mid range frequencies. I think the A50 will hold its own for many years against the competition.
