Samsung Galaxy A51 Black Smartphone SM-A515FZKWVNZ review

With the Galaxy S20 series starting a thousand dollars , many cash-strapped Samsung fans are probably considering more affordable upgrade options this year. And apparently, Samsung anticipated this (and if it didn't, it sure knows now ), as it's making more of its low-end and mid-range lineup...

The Samsung Galaxy A51 is an affordable way to get a good-looking Galaxy phone, but it makes Android feel a little too slow for us to wholeheartedly recommend it.

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.

Samsung Galaxy A51 review

After being extremely impressed with newer mid-range phones from Google and Apple, we decided to check out the competition. The Galaxy A51 is Samsung’s answer to mid-range models like the iPhone SE and Pixel 3a . And it’s … well, it’s an extremely “Samsung” phone, if that makes any sense.

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.

Samsung's $400 Galaxy A51 Is Sadly Average and Overpriced

Sluggish performance and average cameras mire an otherwise fine Android phone.

Samsung Galaxy A51 review: Is it still worth buying in 2021?

The Samsung Galaxy A51, a mid-range smartphone that was released in January 2020, proved to be a bestseller that received bouquets from the tech press and users as it offers fantastic value-for-money. A year on, I tested the Samsung Galaxy A51 to see if it is still worth picking one up today.

Good, solid phone with cool features, and one flaw

I have used Samsung now for around 6 years. In general they are pretty good all round and the A51 is no exception. It has a great screen, a good camera system and easy, solid operating system. Battery life is a bit average (may be the Covidsafe app!) but I am overall happy with the phone. Unfortunately there is a serious gremlin in the fingerprint scanner where it plain refuses to read one or more fingers, yet a few minutes later it works perfectly. I took the first A51 back to the dealer reasoning I had a dud, but this one is just as bad. Hopefully something Samsung can fix with a software upgrade.
