2-minute Review [Positives]	Immaculate fit and finish, and a pleasing, premium design - very similar to the OnePlus 6T Pretty good ergonomics (similar to the OnePlus 6T, and better than the heavier/larger OnePlus 7 Pro) The in-display fingerprint reader is very good - and even a bit faster than the already good one on the OnePlus 6T Big, beautiful 'dewdrop' notch AMOLED display, again quite similar to the OnePlus 6T OnePlus’ Reading mode is still there and is as useful as ever - it turns the screen to a reading-optimized monochrome, and it can be assigned to activate when you’re in certain apps OxygenOS continues to be one of the most thoughtfully-designed, clean (stock-like) UIs for Android 2 new features that make it to the latest version of OxygenOS are screen recording, and Zen Mode (for exercising more control over your screen time) With the super fast flagship Snapdragon 855, some ultra fast storage speed (UFS3), the OnePlus 7 is a speed beast, and matches other top-end flagships Good dual rear camera setup - there a primary 48MP camera and a secondary 5MP depth sensor Overall image quality is good - it takes great outdoor shots, with vibrant colours and good exposure - and is a decent improvement over the OnePlus 6T (though not as good, or as versatile as the camera setup on the OnePlus 7) It also has the new Nightscape mode, which lets you capture reasonably bright and sharp images even in very low light situations Good 16MP front camera too Excellent stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos Good battery life with a 3700mAH battery - the OnePlus 7 will make it through a day of intensive use without a problem - and will give you battery life similar to the OnePlus 6T (and more than the OnePlus 7 Pro, which lasts less long because of the more battery intensive 90Hz screen) OnePlus's Dash Charging continues to be one of the better fast charging technologies around - it goes from 10 to 100 percent in just 1 hour and 15 minutes - though it's a step below the Warp Charge tech on the OnePlus 7 Pro Overall, OnePlus 7 retains the spot of the all-rounder, reliable, no-frills, budget flagship from OnePlus (while the OnePlus 7 Pro takes the more 'premium' flagship approach), giving you a high-end flagship experience for relatively less - and it makes for a decent update to the OnePlus 6T in the performance and camera departments	Looks slick, and reflects off the same iridescent rainbow-like effects at the back as the Samsung Galaxy A50 when caught against light, only this one, comes with a prism-like pattern that Samsung calls a “3D prism design” - it's a head-turner no doubt And while the Samsung Galaxy A50s bears a polycarbonate body, it doesn’t look cheap and sports a very premium “glassy” look overall On the front is a sharp, modern panel with slim-bezels, and a U-shaped notch design (similar to Galaxy A50) Facial recognition to unlock your phone works well Beautiful 6.4-inch Full HD+ Infinity-U Super AMOLED display with a high 91.6% screen-to-body ratio, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection The screen looks sharp and bright, and being an AMOLED display, you will get deep black and vivid colors - sunlight legibility is also pretty good Samsung's One UI is now one of the better, more clean and streamlined Android UIs around, and is well optimised for modern large displays (like this one) Samsung has also added a Game Booster tool to the A50s to offer a better gaming experience Other features include an intuitive gesture-based navigation system, and an option to wake up Bixby using the power button Solid mid-range performance with the robust Samsung Exynos 9611 SoC (similar to Snapdragon 660 and Exynos 9610) - the experience is pleasant and smooth throughout including with games like PUBG Mobile and Asphalt 9 Good thermal management too - the phone doesn't warm up quickly despite extended game play Decent set of triple rear cameras for the price bracket - a 48MP primary camera with an f/2.0 aperture a second 5MP depth camera with f/2.2 aperture, and a third 8MP ultra-wide lens The quality of the pictures from the primary camera is quite good during daylight and outdoors - the A50s handles high-contrast scenes well and adds the right amount of detail and vibrance Night mode works reasonably ok for low-light situations and doesn’t add unnatural exposure to the scene Portrait mode ("Live focus") works well too especially when capturing outdoor daylight scenes Decent video recording performance with a dedicated 'super steady' mode which allows you to shoot decent “action” videos Decent 32MP selfie camera - in daylight outdoor lighting, selfies clicked turn out quite clear (not so much is low-light though) Overall, this is a fairly good camera setup for this price bracket (though not quite up to the level of the category leaders) Very good battery life with a 4000mAh battery - you will get about 1.5 days of use
2-minute Review [Negatives]	Still not fully waterproof (there is some water resistance but it's not IP certified) Like all glossy finish phones (which is an increasing majority of phones these days), the glass back of the phone is a fingerprint magnet It's not quite a match for the new budget-flagship camera champion, the Pixel 3a, however, which is ahead by a significant margin No standard headphone jack - you will need to use either USB-C or wireless headphones (none of which is included in the retail package) No wireless charging support That said though, the budget flagship segment is much more competitive now (unlike when the 6T launched), so you will have some pretty good alternatives as well, not the least of which is the Pixel 3a/XL, which while not as beautiful looking, or as fast, will provide with a much better camera experience, a more compact design, and a headphone jack	The fingerprint sensor that sits beneath the display, is a tad bit slow The phone is a smudge-magnet, relatively easy to scratch, and also slippery (so you will want to use a case) This is however not the best performing phone in this price bracket - you will get better CPUs and stronger performance from Xiaomi and Realme phones The camera app is a little bit slow to launch and there is a small shutter lag when capturing photos As is right now the case with most mid-range phones, the wide-angle camera’s photos look fairly distorted, and details are soft Low light performance could have been better, across the board Volume levels of the speaker are a bit on the low side and could have been better - it's a little difficult to hear audio outdoors in a noisy environment Although the phone supports 15W fast charging, but it only includes a 10W standard (non fast) charger - it takes over 3 hours for A50s to go from 0% to 100% On the whole, the A50s, while a pretty decent phone by itself, will find the competition much more intense (than what its predecessor A50 faced) - unless you are a Samsung loyalist, you will want to look at the competition especially from the likes of Realme and Xiaomi
