About this deal

Its longevity is reasonable, if nothing more. We haven’t regularly had to recharge the Samsung Galaxy A51 in the afternoon just to make sure it makes it to lights-out, but we are usually left with little charge by the late evening. Network: The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider. Battery - Actual battery life varies by network environment, features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, number of times charged, and many other factors.

If I had to guess, it seems the Exynos 9611 hasn’t been optimised for Geekbench 4, a suspicion reinforced by the fact that the results from the two phones were closer aligned in the newer benchmark, Geekbench 5: Display Size : Measured diagonally, the screen size is 164.0 mm (6.5") in the full rectangle and 160.9 mm (6.3") with accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and the camera cutout. If you have a bit more to spend though you might also want to consider the newer Samsung Galaxy A52 5G. Samsung Galaxy A51 review: design That means you’re getting a 6.5in handset that looks just as swish as the Galaxy S20, with a few cuts here and there. Rather than being powered by Samsung’s top-end Exynos 990 processor, the A51 instead uses the new Exynos 9611, which is roughly equivalent to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 712, a mid-tier chipset employed by Chinese brands such as Realme and Vivo.Display Size : Measured diagonally, the screen size is 164.0mm (6.5") in the full rectangle and 160.9mm (6.3") with accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and the camera cutout. The main camera captures 12-megapixel images by default but you can enable the 48-megapixel shooting mode in the camera settings. I recommend using this as much as possible, too: the amount of detail capture that’s presented to you on a phone that costs this little is really quite something:

With most titles you get an experience fairly close to that of a more expensive phone, which is a sweet consolation after the general performance hitches. The Samsung Galaxy A51's screen also makes games look great. But there’s a lot of Snapdragon-powered competition at the price, and they seem to offer more consistent results. User Available Memory: User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the device features. Actual user memory will vary depending on the operator and may change after software upgrades are performed Data - Internet connection required. Data and subscription charges may apply. Content subject to availability in country. Perhaps most impressive, however, is that the A51 has no fewer than four cameras: a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 5-megapixel macro unit and a depth sensor accompanies the main 48-megapixel camera. The A51 also comes with Samsung’s Super AMOLED display, has an in-screen fingerprint reader and runs Android 10.

Small improvements and subtle tweaks over its predecessor but the Galaxy A51 is still incredible value

However, this phone holds on to its reporting of ‘100%’ charge level for quite some time. On a second attempt, with the battery level starting below full, it lost 10%. We also re-ran the test in bright conditions to make the Samsung Galaxy A51 use its boosted brightness mode. It lost 13% charge at max brightness. All of these results are good, suggesting any shortfall in battery is not down to the display. Samsung’s brand has never seemed stronger among Androids too, now that we’re more likely to recommend an Oppo phone than one made by Sony, HTC, or Huawei. The Galaxy A51 has a 4,000mAh battery, which is about as low a capacity as we are comfortable with in a phone with a 6.5-inch screen.

It has an in-screen fingerprint scanner too, another attempt to make the Samsung Galaxy A51 seem like a high-end phone. However, this is not a great scanner. It is slower than most and will fail to recognize fingers if they are even slightly wet, or if you are not very careful about the position of your thumb. The Samsung A51 does come with a fast charger, a lower end 15W one. Charge speed is not close to the "50% in 30 minutes" gold standard. A 30-minute charge from flat took the phone to 31% battery, and a full charge will take around two hours. The Samsung Galaxy A51’s draws are similar to those of other mid-price Samsungs. Its OLED screen is colorful, contrast is ultra-high, and Samsung’s software looks good.

Battery : Actual battery life varies by network environment, features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, number of times charged, and many other factors. The A51’s camera works well enough when the light begins to fade, too. There’s a dedicated night mode in the “‘more” section of the phone’s camera app and it does a good job of brightening up low-light images while keeping visual noise to a minimum. The below picture was taken in my flat, with the curtains closed:
