Galaxy A51 review: Samsung beats the iPhone SE in these important ways

It's the perfect iPhone SE rival in every way but one. How good can a $400 phone really be? When the device in question is the Samsung Galaxy A51, the answer is simple: very good. As the first real representative of the Galaxy A family in the US, the A51 is a convincing effort that proves Samsung can make a good midprice phone that's worth buying. In fact, Samsung's budget phone (£329 in the UK and AU$599 in Australia) even bests the iPhone SE (which starts at $399, £419 and AU$749), in some specific, and significant, ways. When it comes to screen size and clarity, phone features, camera quality and performance, the Galaxy A51 delivers where it counts, with one exception.

Great phone!

Happy with the purchase. It's a great phone for a good price.

Samsung’s Galaxy A51 packs a great screen, a handful of cameras, and a big battery -- what more could you ask from a mid-range smartphone? Well, more consistent performance, for one.

Samsung Galaxy A51 Review

At $400, Samsung's Galaxy A51 has a gorgeous display, good cameras, and a battery that will easily get you through the day, but it can use a boost in the processor department. 2020 might just go down in history as the year of the midrange smartphone. Apple's new $399 iPhone SE is our highest-rated non-flagship model in some time, and we're expecting about a dozen or so more similarly priced offerings to hit US carriers this year. First up is the $399.99 Samsung Galaxy A51. It offers plenty of value for its price in the form of a handsome design, long battery life, good camera quality, and a gorgeous display. But it's no competitor to the iPhone SE in the power department.Design, Display, and Durability Put simply, the Galaxy A51 looks good. It measures 6.24 by 2.90 by 0.31 inches (HWD) and comes in at 6.06 ounces. It’s light and just narrow enough to hold and use in one hand without any big issues. In the US it’s available in black with an attractive prismatic finish. In other parts of the world there are blue and white options available as well. The front of phone is dominated by a near bezel-less 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a...

Samsung’s Galaxy A51 has two good things going for it: the screen and the price
