The Galaxy 51 is the latest mid-range smartphone from Samsung, launched in December, 2019. The phone was announced along with the Galaxy A71 , and came as the successor of the A50 launched earlier this year .

Samsung Galaxy A51 is targeted at users looking for a mid-premium Android option. There’s a lot to like including the Infinity-O display, stylish design as well as good cameras and performance. This is a good buy for those willing to spend up to Rs 24,000.

2019 was a landmark year for Samsung and not only did the South Korean smartphone giant introduce the world to its clean and streamlined One UI but it also doubled-down and revamped the faltering A Series.

A mid-range phone that doesn't justify its price

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.

Excellent display; Solid cameras; Good battery life

Underwhelming performance; Not waterproof; Fingerprint sensor doesn’t work well

Others may offer stronger performance, battery life and camera results, but the Galaxy A51 is bursting with great features and excels for movies and music

Gorgeous; punchy AMOLED screen; Snazzy design; Full One UI 2.0 experience

Stuttery at times; Average battery life; Photo results mixed

While the original Galaxy A50 offered an incredible value for the money last year and sold in the millions across the globe, the new Galaxy A51 is a very slight upgrade that doesn’t offer much reason for an upgrade and doesn’t impress that much.

Beautiful AMOLED screen; Long-lasting battery life; Elegant thin design

Stuttery performance with slightly more challenging tasks; Mediocre camera

Doctor, there’s a fly in this ointment

The Samsung Galaxy A51 has a great display and good build quality, but is severely hindered by sluggish performance....

Colorful; bright OLED display Good build quality Dual-SIM Expandable storage

Sluggish performance

The Galaxy A51 is a nicely specified handset that should appeal to Samsung fans looking for mid-range performance at a reasonable price. There are more affordable alternatives if you're interested in buying SIM-free, though.
