When you think of a Samsung phone, a battery champion is probably not what comes to mind. That may be about to change though, with the new Galaxy M51, which has an insane 7000 mAh battery! Just how good is the battery life here, and what else does this midranger have to offer in terms of build and screen quality, performance, and c

The GSMArena review of the Samsung Galaxy M51 covers the key aspects of the smartphone, highlighting its standout features, performance, and drawbacks:

Introduction & Design [00:00]: The Galaxy M51 is positioned as a mid-range competitor similar to the Galaxy A71, but distinguished by a massive 7,000 mAh battery. Due to this power pack, the phone is

slightly thicker and heavier than average, featuring a practical plastic build that feels solid.

Display [00:54]: It features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution and a standard 60Hz refresh rate. The panel offers sharp pictures, punchy and tunable colors, deep blacks, and a peak brightness reaching up to 670 nits in auto mode. A h

igh refresh rate is notably absent.

Audio [01:29]: Equipped with a single bottom-firing speaker that achieves average loudness and mid-range quality. It does, however, retain a traditional 3.5 mm headphone jack with FM radio support.

Battery Life & Charging [01:57]: The standout feature is its battery, achieving an outstanding endurance rating of 156

hours in testing. The included 25W charger takes the device from 0% to 35% in 30 minutes.

Performance & Software [02:31]: Powered by a Snapdragon 730G chipset paired with 128GB of expandable storage. It lacks 5G support, but provides reliable performance for daily tasks and gaming. It runs Samsung's One UI over Android 10 and includes a fast, reliab

le side-mounted fingerprint scanner [03:23].

Cameras [03:37]:

Main Camera (64 MP) [03:43]: Captures lively colors, good detail, and wide dynamic range in daylight. Low-light photos are decent and benefit from a dedicated night mode [04:53].

Ultra-Wide Camera (12 MP) [03:43]: Delivers wide shots with respectable dynamic range and warm color tones.

Mac

ro Camera (5 MP) [03:43]: Captures a good level of fine detail compared to typical 2MP macro sensors.

Selfie Camera (32 MP) [05:39]: Produces 12-megapixel binned selfies with good detail and wide dynamic range.

Video: Supports up to 4K resolution at 30fps on both the main and ultra-wide cameras, offering excellent detail, low noise, and electronic st

abilization [05:56].

Conclusion [06:32]: The phone offers phenomenal battery life alongside a solid AMOLED display, competitive chipset, and competent cameras. Main criticisms include average speaker quality and the lack of a high refresh rate display.

We've come to an era where powerbanks have screen and camera.

Watching this on my M51 which is more than 1.5 years old.. still runs smoothly 🔥

@jonightwing901

As an M51 user, I'm loving the experience.

@dilxtube8874

Watching from my M51. I'm 100% satisfied with phone

@3mar00ss6

I'd take a 60hz sAmoled display over a 4k 360hz LCD anytime any day (on a phone or a tablet)

@CursedDepartmentEastOffice

The M51 is pretty incredible to use. It's not super exciting but it's all around pretty good, other than the battery. It's a battery which even with heavy use, you don't need to charge everyday. Basically one of the most practical phones to buy in 2021.

@TheRoshin

using for 4 years and 5 months still working fine.

@CR1992..

I feel like I've been hearing him say "especially at this price...affordable mid-ranges" but I haven't hear the price.

@loucipher7782

just waiting for it to go over 9000!

@bloodyknockout553

My Samsung Galaxy M51 is 3 years old now! Excellent smartphone!

@zgreflexking

Bought in November. So far no issues

@aslamforhad

I think it is the most requested review. Though lately, thanks for this. We love GSMArena.

@ravigoriya

I was eagerly waiting for review of Galaxy M51 from GSMArena since it was launched.
