You might have noticed that the A51’s Geekbench 4 benchmark results are roughly 15% weaker than those of last year’s model, the Galaxy A50, and the single-core test is 32% slower as well. Just to make sure this wasn’t a rogue anomaly, I ran the tests multiple times and got the same result each time. RPI/CPI Price Increase - Each year, your Pay Monthly airtime tariff will be adjusted according to Three's Fixed Annual Price Change (Three), the Retail Price Index (O2) or Consumer Price Index (EE, Vodafone) rate of inflation. It is one of the most coherent and confident-looking custom interfaces around, although we strongly recommend increasing the number of app rows and columns used as standard. The Samsung A51 has a toy-like look when you first turn it on thanks to the wide icon spacing. While those crashes likely won’t be an issue for long, the general sluggishness may be. Camera performance issues are intermittent rather than constant, but we did notice them regularly while out shooting.Network : The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider. If you're after a smartphone with a big screen, big battery and plenty of photography features, but don't want to break the bank, the Samsung Galaxy A51 could well be the phone for you.” 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. One important part of the A51 is below average at the price, though: performance. The Galaxy A51 makes Android feel a little slow, more so than the usual app load discrepancy between a good affordable phone and a top-end one. Availability of One UI features, apps and services may vary depending on device, OS version and country.

Some alternatives also offer better battery life, like the Oppo A5 2020. You’d better appreciate Samsung’s particular strengths before buying a Galaxy A51. These include a rich OLED screen and a good-looking Android interface. Also consider

Terms & Conditions

The Samsung Galaxy A51 offers some of the design traits of Samsung's higher-end phones. But there are a few giveaways that it is not part of the pricey Galaxy S series. The Samsung Galaxy A51 is also certified for HD Netflix from launch, but it does not support HDR video. Transition animations occasionally stutter, and at times the keyboard takes a moment to appear when you tap a text box. The Oppo Reno 2Z and Moto G8 Plus are smoother. Using our colorimeter, I found the Galaxy A51 covers 99% of the sRGB colour gamut in ‘Normal’ mode, with a total volume of 113%. Thanks to the screen’s AMOLED panel, contrast is effectively perfect and the screen is plenty bright, too. I measured a peak luminance of 478cd/m² with the auto-brightness setting engaged and a torch aimed directly at the ambient light sensor to simulate the brightest outdoor lighting. Samsung Galaxy A51 review: Performance and battery life 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:

Make up to 2 claims for accidental damage repairs within 36 months, and save with a low repair fee per claim. Care+ plan dependent. 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. 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. Not only does the Galaxy A51 employ more cameras than its predecessor, but the only piece of hardware that’s carried over is the 5-megapixel depth-sensing unit. This year, we have a 48-megapixel camera unit at our disposal, which has an aperture of f/2, a 26mm (35mm equivalent) focal length and rapid phase detection autofocus (PDAF).

The final trade-in amount will be paid to you as a Trade-in ID which can be used on the Samsung Online Store. This is still a useful macro camera, and offers another way to think about how you take photos. The Samsung Galaxy A51 is one of the cheaper phones we've seen with an acceptable macro camera. Samsung does not seem too proud of it, though, as you have to dig into the extended menu to find the macro mode. We would not be surprised if many A51 owners never do.

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. Samsung Galaxy A51 review: Price and competition The Samsung Galaxy A51 is for those after a relatively affordable phone who would rather own a Samsung than an Android from Motorola, Oppo or Xiaomi. The Galaxy A51 gains a slight advantage in the graphics tests. Here, the A51 delivers more frames per second in the GFXBench Manhattan 3.0 benchmark than both the A50 and Redmi Note 8T but it doesn’t quite reach the same score achieved by the Pixel 3a, which employs the Snapdragon 670: S Pen Pro and S Pen Fold Edition sold separately. Only use the Samsung S Pen Pro or the S Pen Fold Edition designed exclusively for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. All other S Pens or stylus pens not designed for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G (including those by other manufacturers) may damage the screen.The Samsung Galaxy A51 performance with games that use the Vulkan graphics standard seems fairly poor. You have to run Ark: Survival Evolved at low graphics and reduced resolution to get it to a playable state, with greater visual sacrifices than a Snapdragon-powered phone with a GPU that should be similarly capable. Results may vary depending on shooting conditions including multiple subjects, being out of focus, or moving subjects. It's not hard to spot the filler: those two 5MP cameras. But this case is much less egregious than, for example, what Oppo has tried recently. The Oppo A9 2020 has a couple of intensely useless 2MP cameras. Despite the price, you won’t spot any cost-cutting measures when it comes to the A51’s design. It may not push the boundaries of smartphone engineering but the A51 is a handset that’s as eye-catching as any other smartphone. Does not support zoom function. Performance of the image stabilization may vary depending on the light condition.
