And to give Samsung credit, the Korean brand has not really cut too many corners in this regard. As we pointed out in our first cut of the product, the A50 cannot be called a lightweight in any department by any stretch of the imagination.

But the gripe that literally everyone using a WearOS device has is its battery life, and the same was with the Ticwatch series as well....
