No such luck

UPDATE: We’ve reached out to Samsung Malaysia and they informed us that the Galaxy A30 and A50 for our market does not come with IP68 dust/water resistance.

Since A30 is 799, I assume that M20 will be around 699, it cant be more expensive than A30.

Anything more would just be insane.

I'm looking to replace my Zenfone Max Pro M1 with this one, so ya, 699 is ideal smile.gif

That said, I'm not convinced the battery life will be better vs the M1 even though it's a similar sized battery.

I'm looking to add this M20 to my collection of M1, M2 etc. Agree with you that RM699 for a 4GB RAM model would be an acceptable price.

Speaking of this battery life. I thought this M20 was better during some of the battery review made by people on the internet.

Bought the A50 last saturday, so far quite satisfy with the experience (considering the price)...the display is comparable with my S8+ when put on side by side
*
Indian owner complained about the phone being laggy despite a good size RAM and reasonably good processor. Could you comment on that?

RM799 for the M20

I guessed correctly on Shopee's FB contest..  wonder if I'll get a RM100 discount? laugh.gif

Same price as the A30 minus all the extras. Not a good buy I would say.

On my brief usage of the A50...the UI interaction is smooth enough compare to my S8+ (sometimes the ONE UI on my S8+ feels sluggish than the A50 somehow...but maybe due to my heavy usage on S8+) and I get around 2.5 - 3GB free space on RAM most of the time. I've not yet tried any gaming on A50 yet so can't comment on the gaming performance.

About the phone being laggy, I haven't encounter it yet,but it could be also due to my light usage but I do think the 6GB RAM does help in a certain extend as my S8+ (my primary device) only have 4GB where switching apps needs to reload  sweat.gif while the A50 keeps more apps running on the background...and i didn't notice significant drop of frame rate on the UI animation

As a Samsung phone at this price range, I think it's performance are quite ok...there are give and take. Just my opinion, not a professional reviewer  tongue.gif

Thank you so much for the review. I appreciate it.

Wait a few months....

Price will go down

By that time we would have RN7 Pro, Max Pro M3 and many more. Good luck to Samsung selling at this price with this spec.

2nd hand price for samsung  a50 should be super competitive imo

I have no doubt and the SoC is not that great for the price, to begin with.

Are we absolutely sure about the spec? Seems like the SoC is outdated even compared to the A50's

I guess it's because there's nothing to hype about.

MiA1 still very fast and shows no sign of ageing. Unless you want a better camera?

Wonder why they went for smaller battery for pure Android experience. Was it because of some restrictions imposed by Google?

Any chance they did it on purpose just to make sure you can't have it all?
