Samsung is a leading brand when it comes to offering exceptional value in the mid-range smartphone market, and the Galaxy A51 shows why. Packed with premium features, it's brilliant value for money.


Widescreen display

The minimal bezels on the A51 emphasises the widescreen viewing experience on the 6.5-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-O display.


Four winning rear cameras

The quad camera set up on the back lives up to Samsung's reputation for outstanding photographic capability. The set up consists of an ultra high-resolution 48MP main camera, a 123° 12MP Ultra-Wide-Camera for superb panoramic shots, an upgraded 5MP Macro camera for even better close-ups, and the 5MP Depth camera features multiple Live Focus effects.


Make it all about you

And when it's time to make it all about you, the 32MP selfie camera will give you vivid and high-resolution images. The Selfie focus feature instantly blurs out the background to make you front and centre of the shot. 


Super-Steady Videos

Another top feature in the A51 is its video-taking ability. You can capture smooth and steady live videos thanks to the powerful software and Samsung's world-class Ultra-Wide Camera.


Loads of storage

The Galaxy A51 doesn't shirk its responsibilities in the storage department. It has a capacity of up to 128GB (expandable up to 512GB) and 6GB RAM for storing apps, software, videos, and more.


Long lasting, fast charging

The battery performance is exceptional with the Samsung A51’s 4,000mAh battery that can last throughout the day. Plus, there's fast charging when that function is eventually called for.

The Samsung Galaxy A51 offers a nice design and attractive OLED display, but it’s hamstrung by middling performance, cameras that underperform in low light and relatively short battery life. On paper, the Samsung Galaxy A51 would seem like the best cheap phone $400 can get you.
Pros:
  • Excellent display, Sleek design, Versatile quad-lens camera, Low price, 128GB of storage
Cons:
  • Underwhelming performance, Camera struggles in low light, Battery life could be better, Fingerprint sensor occasionally frustrates

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.
Pros:
  • 6.5-inch screen is detailed and bright
  • Wide-angle camera option
  • Headphone jack
Cons:
  • Processor speed drags
  • No water resistance
