Samsung Galaxy A51 5G full review

Here is a detailed breakdown of the Samsung Galaxy A51 5G review from GSMArena:

Design and Build

The device shares a very similar visual design with its predecessor, featuring a prism cube white color option and a glossy back with a striped pattern accent [00:21].

While the back material remains polycarbonate, the phone introduces a notable upgrade with an aluminum frame, giving it a more premium feel in the hand [00:36].

Display

It is equipped with a 6.5-inch Super AMOLE

D display with a 1080p resolution and a circular cutout for the 32-megapixel selfie camera [00:48].

The screen delivers excellent contrast and high brightness, reaching up to 410 nits with the manual slider and up to 614 nits in auto mode outdoors [01:02].

An under-display fingerprint reader is included, which unlocks the phone reliably though it is not the fastest on the market [01:22].

Audio and Storage

Audio is handled by a single bottom-firing speaker that scores an a

verage rating in loudness, sounding somewhat muffled and lacking in low and mid-tones [01:35].

The phone retains a traditional headphone jack and includes FM radio support when headphones are plugged in [01:55].

It comes with 128GB of internal storage, which can be further expanded via microSD [02:02].

Software and Performance

The device runs Samsung's One UI on top of Android 10, featuring edge panels and Google Duo integration directly into the dialer [02:18].

Under the

hood, it packs an Exynos 980 chipset—a significant upgrade over the Exynos 9611 found in the regular 4G model—delivering performance comparable to the Snapdragon 765G [02:40].

The phone handles games and multitasking smoothly without noticeable thermal throttling, alongside built-in 5G connectivity [03:02].

Battery Life and Charging

Powered by a 4,500 mAh battery, it achieves a slightly improved endurance rating of 90 hours compared to the 86 hours on the older model [03

:15].

The included 15-watt charger takes the phone from 0% to 40% in half an hour [03:30].

Camera Performance

Rear Cameras: Features an L-shaped quad-camera setup consisting of a 48-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 5-megapixel macro camera, and a depth sensor [03:42].

Daylight: The main camera captures detailed photos with good dynamic range and vivid colors [03:55]. Portrait shots deliver great subject separation [04:25], and the ultra-wide came

ra matches the main shooter well in quality [04:35].

Low-Light: Shows noticeable improvements over the vanilla A51, with better detail and saturation, especially when utilizing the dedicated night mode on both the main and ultra-wide lenses [05:01].

Front Camera: The 32-megapixel selfie camera produces sharp images with excellent dynamic range [05:45].

Video: Supports 4K video recording on both the front and rear cameras [06:06], featuring electronic video stabilization a

nd a Super Steady mode utilizing the ultra-wide camera at 1080p [06:58].

Conclusion

The Galaxy A51 5G retails for around $500, placing it about $200 higher than the standard 4G version [07:35].

Beyond 5G connectivity, the price upgrade justifies itself through better chipset performance, improved low-light camera capabilities, and enhanced battery longevity [07:22].
