Samsung Galaxy A50s review: A bit of an upgrade

Eye catching even in the more boring black variant we received, the Samsung A50s is still a very interesting looking smartphone — from the back.

There’s the prismatic sheen that Samsung has been using this whole year but this time it’s set in a geometrical arrangement of two-toned triangles. The effect is very nice and made me wish I had laid my hands on the violet version. There’s also a white version.

The back is made of polycarbonate and given what that looks like these days, it’s easy enough to make one’s peace with it though there is a slight plastic feel to the build. It could display smudges, so use the provided case until you need to show it off and let others see the nice pattern on the back.
