Samsung Galaxy A51 6GB 128GB
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.

Samsung Galaxy A51 Black Smartphone SM-A515FZKWVNZ 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.- Beautiful screen and body
- Big
- expandable storage
- Can be found on sale easily
- Bloated software
- Terrible fingerprint reader
- Not enough RAM
- Tons of unnecessary apps
Samsung Galaxy A51 Black - Spark SM-A515FZKWTNZ review
Sluggish performance and average cameras mire an otherwise fine Android phone.- Decent battery life. Cameras snap decent photos in good lighting. There's a headphone jack! It looks modern, has NFC for contactless payments, and includes a Micro SD card slot for extra storage. Plastic back design is more durable. Three years of Android updates.
- Performance can drag. The cameras lag behind peers. Overpriced.
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.- Excellent 60Hz AMOLED screen, Adequate camera performance, Guaranteed support up to Android 13 and 3 more years of security updates, 3.5 mm jack and expandable storage
- Exynos 9611 performance, Average battery life, Fast charge is super slow, No IP certification, Does not offer value-for-money in 2021

Samsung Galaxy A51 Black Smartphone SM-A515FZKWVNZ review
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
