Samsung’s A-series lineup in Nepal gets a new ‘s’ upgrade; this time it’s the Galaxy A50s — an iterative upgrade of the already existing Galaxy A50.
Iterative in a sense that this one offers a minor upgrade over what is already available on the A50. The device carries the same 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a bit higher screen-to-body ratio (85.1% vs 84.9% on A50) but a same 19.5:9 aspect ratio.
The internals also remains almost same with Exynos 9611 over the Exynos 9610 found on Galaxy A50, while the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU — also seen on A50 — is still present here.
The only major difference can be seen in terms of the camera. The Galaxy A50s sports an upgraded 48MP f/2.0 normal sensor with Night mode as opposed to 25MP seen on the A50. However, the rest of the sensors are the same, i.e. an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera and 5MP f/2.2 depth sensor. The front also sees an upgrade with a 32MP f/2.0 selfie camera.

Other than that, the device does not possess as much difference to the Galaxy A50. It still runs on the Android 9 Pie out of the box and has the same 4,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging support. The in-display fingerprint scanner is also accounted for.
Samsung Galaxy A50s Price in Nepal
Despite the minimal changes, the pricing, on the other hand, is quite unfavorable. The 6/128GB variant of the phone can be purchased for Rs. 42,190 in Nepal. The Samsung Galaxy A50s would have been a much better buy if it was available around 35-38,000 in Nepal, but that’s just our saying.
