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.
The minimal bezels on the A51 emphasises the widescreen viewing experience on the 6.5-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-O display.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 looks great on first impressions, but extended usage reveals some frustrating shortcomings. Read all about it in our full review.
The Samsung Galaxy A51 is a good, solid mid-range effort. There are no major flaws, but the processor and battery weren't quite as good as we'd been expecting.
Attractive design; Good screen; Impressive; versatile camera
Battery life could be much better
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...
Display The screen is massive, and it's an AMOLED panel. You can't ask for much more on a mid-range phone; Performance The Exynos processor with 4GB RAM handled my usual apps and games just fine.
Cameras The main camera produces muddy photos, and the other two lenses aren't any better; Design While the Galaxy A51 is generally designed well, the glossy plastic back attracts fingerprints and smudges much easier than glass.
The Samsung Galaxy A51 packs a nice big display and a light, ergonomic design as sleek as its flagship siblings. A good budget phone for Samsung fans that want the look of the S20 and Note series.
Brilliant 6.5" Super AMOLED display; Amazing close-to-midrange camera; Good all-rounder for price range
Poor quality max zoom on camera; Plastic casing
A mid-range phone that doesn't justify its price
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 .
Battery life is decent too, and power is respectable. The plastic build is a disappointment, and there are some unsurprising omissions such as waterproofing and wireless charging, but these are small complaints.
Quad-lens camera; Good screen; Solid battery life
Plastic build; No telephoto lens; No wireless charging
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
