mediocre camera - dont care. got iPhone for that
notch - not much options nowadays
exynos - as if snapdragon counterpart can offer better package as a whole at this price range to this day

but one thing is worrying is bloatware and ads. well not so much on the crappy apps that they put. but if its plagued with ads and no way of disabling. that....can be a major deal breaker

so the question now is...does a50 have ads?
*
It probably has ads. Even the S10 has ads but you can turn off/disable the Samsung Push Service to stop them ads from appearing in the notification bar.

Hi,

I am about to buy a used A50s unit from a seller.
He is telling me that I can only install apps from the play store.
Will be unable to install apps via apk.
Due to the Samsung Knox. Initially I thought it is due to that he had already rooted the phone but he told me that's not the case.

Any idea why we can't install apps via apk?
*
There's no such thing. Knox can block or disable apps but thats up to you to enable/disable it. Out of the box you can throw any APK on it and it will install.

To use the Knox block thing, you need to have a MDM profile deployed, usually this is only for company's that decide to use Samsung devices.

Yes, is original sme set, but why knox was enable? Samsung wont enable it unless...........for some reason. Call samsung and check this device. I suspect this is an installment device.
*
Actually it might just be a device tied to the seller's company that is preinstalled with a MDM profile to enforce Knox's abilities. I've used a Samsung device with Knox enabled through an enterprise service before, it sounds very similar to what he's describing.

But there's no reason why the device cannot be wiped before selling. That would remove the profile and set it back to normal. If you're really going to purchase such a device, make sure the user properly removes all his account details before proceeding with the factory reset.

M51 is just like A71 with extra battery?
*
No, unfortunately the M51 only has the large battery going for it. It is running One UI core so you lose a lot of the features that the A71 has like Knox, SPay, secure folders, Samsung pass. If you don't know or don't care about what these things are, then the M51 is quite similar to the A71, better in fact if you don't care about those said software features.

A54 or a73 better?
*
Probably the A54 but not at full price. Same goes for the A73.

Performance wise they're both very similar for day to day tasks. Gaming A73 is better for now. The A54 will probably catch up later when samsung gets their shit together. A better alternative this year would be the A34 if you can tolerate the fat ass bezels and tear drop front camera.

Unless you absolutely have to use samsung specific features like SPay, Secure folder, knox etc etc there's no real reason to get these devices.

Wait the A54 is using ufs 2.2?
*
Might be UFS 3.1. Seems like there's no definitive source for the exact UFS version being used.

Some say 2.2 some say 3.1 but based on actual tests by users on Reddit, I think it is 2.2.

If we're solely speaking of Samsung mid-ranges, the A73 is the most logical choice to go with, but again, never pay full price for Samsung's mid rangers. None of them are worth what they're priced officially. The A73 with a RM400 discount is still too expensive I feel.

Does A34 support samsung pay?

It should support it, NFC is available on the A34.

The previous A33 supported Samsung Pay as well. It would be strange to remove it this time.

Hi all,

i need some pointers on something which im trying to sort out for my parents.

my parents recently bought a samsung A13 overseas from a telco shop when he lost his phone.

now that he's back, i found that the phone is sim locked to the telco, im trying to figure out how to unlock the telco lock. the phone is signed in with his google account and all working execpt sim related function, just that when i use a sim card other than the telco's or with both sim (local+the original telco) it will just say sim not supported pls insert the original telco sim.

any idea what can i do?
phone is brand new when bought.

*the origianl telco website is not any help also, all local language and no working customer service place which i can contact them.
*
Thats a telco locked device you have there. Nothing you can do to remove the telco lock yourself but there are some services available to remove it for a fee.

Bought from friend who urgently need cash.not sure if if telco set or not since no receipt.i just resell it for cheap

Oh can self collect pj

Thanks for clarifying the origins. It's a risk for me to buy this as it was sold urgently and there is no receipt to prove that it is not a telco set.

If you can convince your friend to provide the receipt for this, I would be very interested in buying it for this price.

Ya lo. I'm contemplating A54 vs poco f5.

I like the 4os + 5 years security updates.  Only thing with a54 is will the hardware cope with 2-4 android updates and lag like hell?
*
Based on all the reviews so far. the A54 is an "OK" phone. It is not great at anything it does, it is just OK at everything.

The experience will be similar to the A53 as it is just a minor upgrade, micro stutters right out of the box with some improvements after a few updates. Do note that while the A53's performance has improved a lot compared to when it first launched, it did not eliminate the micro stutters completely.

Also worth mentioning that, yes, it will receive 4 major android updates but you have to be aware that it will not receive all the features that these major updates will come with. There will be some features stripped down to keep the performance up and to sell the next iteration of the phone.

i ordered thru web on weekend

Pick up from store is just a point to receive the device. If there was a problem with the device at the point of receiving, the shop won't even be responsible for it. They can't and won't replace it with an existing stock from the shop.

The shop has its own stock that will not be allocated for web purchases.
