Hi @Marjo 

As I need to change my mobile phone end of this year as Microsoft will not be supporting/updating software anymore.

I have been looking at this phone ~ reading about it. 

I am really hoping that one of the Community will post a short but meaninful review for

a person like myself to understand the benefits and/or the disadvantages.

I have a lumia 640 at present ~ it's ok but I am using my phone more now for everything.

I don't think this Samsung will break the bank either.  I will buy it outright.

As a mid range phone, this would tick all my boxes for my normal day to day usage. I like the big screen too so maybe once I get to Thailand I will be in a position to treat myself at the lower prices over there.

Looking forward to hearing your comments about this phone if you end up getting it @TallTrees  & @jonsie !

@TallTrees You mentioned you nowadays use your current phone for "everything" - what's the most important feature that you'd need from the new phone?

@jonsie I also like big screens, so after reading your comment I checked my current screen size which I thought was already very big (it's 5.5 inches) to compare. This new one seems awesome, 6.4 inches. 

[TallTrees]

Thank you @jonsie 

I thought it was a good size screen. Seems the battery is also long lasting.

Fast Charging.  Better still if it is cheaper in Thailand.

Hi @Marjo 

Well I am a very low user Data Text Phone however it is my main communication system.

Never use the landline anymore.  It only rings when a scammer is trying to get me!!

I use my phone in the evenings instead of my Computer through my WiFi home connection, 

because it is handy but a bit small.

I thought the Samsung A50 is a  good size not quite a tablet but nicer than a small screen

mobile.

For everything is ~

I  use it to telephone people.

I use it to text friends

I use Mobile data on the go to check things 

and I use it much more to photograph

and now video ~ it is in my pocket so it gets used  "for everything"

Don't use it to pay probably never will ~ think it is too dodgy.

I never play games either.

On the new phone Samsung A50  my main feature would be

the screen size is no. 1

and the camera no. 2 

hopefully it will function much better than my simple Lumia 640

I am making my mind up before too long!  

I may even contemplate a little post of how I feel about my new S. A50!  

That will be "stepping out"

[TallTrees]

This is perhaps an odd query but you may be able to "handle" it @jonsie 

The Samsung A50 has fingerprint recognition which is ok ~  I am always dubious about this

anyway ~ tech problems or glitches.  Anyway because I work in the garden alot my finger prints are knackered really I could post you an example but I don't want to shock you! The soil dries the tips of the fingers up and then they crack  ~ well you would probably know when you were working on cars etc.

That would be funny if I had no finger tip to recognise!  What is your view?

Fingerprint recognition is optional, not compulsory. You can still choose PIN or pattern unlock methods.
