Table of contents:
This year Samsung has behaved with the mid-range, swelling its catalog with new members for the Galaxy A family. Two of them, the Samsung Galaxy A30 and Samsung Galaxy A50 arrive with an all-screen design with hardly any frames, in which no a notch or notch in the shape of a water drop is missing Both have similar characteristics, such as a 4,000 mAh battery with fast charging, Android 9 system under the customization layer of the Samsung One UI company, or a price within reach of all pockets.
However, the Galaxy A50 makes a leap in terms of performance compared to its range brother. This is something that is perfectly appreciated in the photographic section, in greater power and performance or in some additional functions, such as a fingerprint reader under the screen. If you are interested in knowing the main differences between these two terminals, do not stop reading. Reviewing five of them.

1. Design
Although if we put them in front of the two terminals are practically the same, things change a lot when they are turned around. The Samsung Galaxy A30 includes a double sensor and a physical fingerprint reader right in the center. However, the Galaxy A50 has three sensors instead of two and lacks a physical fingerprint reader. This is available below the panel. In any case, despite these differences, the two mobiles have a clean and minimalist design built in what the company calls 3D Glasstic, a plastic back but with special treatment to give it a glass appearance.
The front, as we say, does not present differences. There are hardly any frames on either side of the screen and they have a notch in the shape of a drop of water. Also, the measurements are the same, except for the weight, since the A50 is a gram heavier.
2. Processor
Another of the most important differences is found in the power. The Samsung Galaxy A30 is a simpler device than the A50 and it shows in terms of performance. The terminal is powered by an Exynos 7904 processor (two cores at 1.8 GHz + six cores at 1.6 GHz), accompanied by 3 or 4 GB of RAM.
For its part, the Galaxy A50 houses inside a Samsung Exynos 9610, an eight-core Soc with four of them, the most powerful, running at 2.3 GHz and the other four doing so at a clock speed of 1.7 Ghz. This comes from the hand of a 4 or 6 GB RAM. Therefore, this equipment is more prepared to make use of several processes at the same time or when using heavier applications.
3. Storage
In terms of storage, the Samsung Galaxy A30 offers 32 or 64 GB expandable through the use of microSD cards. Regarding the A50, it repeats with a version with 64 GB, although there is also a 128 GB version to choose from. This model can also expand its capacity through the use of microSD-type cards.
4. Photographic section
While the Samsung Galaxy A30 includes a dual 16-megapixel sensor with f / 1.7 aperture accompanied by another 5-megapixel sensor with f / 2.2 aperture for bokeh photos, the Galaxy A50 boasts a triple one. This consists of a 25-megapixel sensor with f / 1.7 aperture and autofocus, followed by another 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor with f / 2.2 aperture and a third 5-megapixel support lens with f / 2.2 aperture with different functions. Among them, detect depth and thus achieve images with a selective focus that you can change once the photo is captured.
In addition, it is capable of recognizing up to 20 scenes with the aim of applying filters that improve the result automatically. On the other hand, it takes advantage of Artificial Intelligence to help itself with the Bixby assistant, and thus recognize objects and offer information about them.
5. Price
How could it be otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy A30 is somewhat cheaper than the Galaxy A50, although taking into account that it has superior characteristics the difference is quite small. Currently, you can buy the A30 through Amazon at a price of 250 euros in its version with 4 GB of RAM + 64 GB of storage. The Galaxy A50 costs on the official Samsung website with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of space.
