PHOTO COMPARISON
We would like you to be the judge of the photos we took from both devices. Based on the photos, its quite hard to say which is better from the other but we think the Galaxy A50 has an edge over low light shots. When it comes to bokeh shots, the Galaxy A50 struggles a bit. You need to move further away from your subject to take that bokeh shot.
