Samsung Galaxy A51 review: A mid-ranger with plenty of polish

The Galaxy S51 is a mid-range Samsung phone bringing with it some real highlights. But is this the next Galaxy phone for you?

Great display ; High quality looks ; Good main camera performance in most conditions ; Solid battery life ; Under display fingerprint scanner

Lacks overall power ; Some lag in usage ; Single speaker limited ; Easy to block Bluetooth antenna and cause cut-out ; Quad cameras oversell themselves a little

A great design and screen are the big sells of this mid-ranger, which performs generally well but can struggle a little when it comes to gaming tasks. Otherwise the clean software experience makes for a generally polished and affordable choice.

Samsung Galaxy A51 review

Fully featured, at a nice price

Gorgeous, punchy AMOLED screen ; Snazzy design ; Full One UI 2.0 experience

Stuttery at times ; Average battery life ; Photo results mixed

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

Samsung Galaxy A51 Review

The Samsung Galaxy A51 impresses in almost every way from a specs perspective. The only major disappointment is its plastic build, but for the price that's not a huge issue.

The Samsung Galaxy A51 is one of a growing range of competent mid-rangers from the brand. While it isn’t the most exciting of phones and is arguably topped by the likes of the Honor 20, it’s a solid all-rounder, with the headline features being its big...

Samsung Galaxy A51 5G review

Samsung is bringing 5G to the masses with the Galaxy A51 5G and the Galaxy A71 5G. We have the smaller one for review to find out what's changed from the...

Upmarket build.

Unimpressive fingerprint recognition speed.

And that's before you account for the fact that it's the most affordable point of entry into 5G coming from Samsung. It's not as good value as what Xiaomi can give you, but competing offers from other big names like LG and Motorola come at an even...

Samsung Galaxy A51 review: Wait for a price drop

Samsung's Galaxy A51 packs a great screen, a handful of cameras, and a big battery -- what more could you ask from a mid-range smartphone? Well, more consistent performance, for one. Despite using a reasonably powerful chipset, the A51 is often plagued...

Excellent design ; Big and beautiful AMOLED screen ; Flexible multi-camera system

Laggy performance ; Camera quality is largely unremarkable ; Mediocre battery life

Sure, the Pixel 3a XL and the iPhone SE lack the A51’s panache, but they’re just nicer to use . And hey -- if you’re really itching for a Samsung phone and have some latitude in your budget, the slightly more powerful Galaxy A71 might be a better...

Samsung Galaxy A51 review: All about the display

The Samsung Galaxy A51 has a lot going for it, including an awesome display and decent camera -- but can it compete with the iPhone SE and Pixel 3a?

Modern design ; Excellent display ; Good photos with enough light ; Good battery life ; A headphone jack

Lackluster performance ; Slower fingerprint sensor ; Won't receive OS updates quickly

Samsung Galaxy A51 review

If 2019 taught us anything it's that Samsung's A-series span pretty much the entire spectrum of feature sets and price brackets short of a true flagship....

Compact and light for the display size and battery capacity, standout design.

Chipset isn't as powerful as what the competition has to offer.

More importantly, key rivals come at a lower price, with few objective trade-offs. With that in mind, we can't wholeheartedly recommend the Galaxy A51 at the current price. If you absolutely must have a Samsung (which is a sentiment we can understand),...
