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. Features and Specifications are accurate as of commercial launch but may be subject to change without prior notification. 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. 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:

Features - Some Samsung Health/Fitness applications and related software is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. This phone is not one of our favorites at the price, largely because of its flawed general performance. It feels a little too slow day-to-day at the price, even if it can run most popular 3D games perfectly well. 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 Make up to 2 claims for accidental damage repairs within 36 months, and save with a low repair fee per claim. Care+ plan dependent.

External Memory may be used to store media (photos, video, and music files) but application storage on external device may be limited or unavailable on certain handset models. Battery capacity(mAh, Typical) - Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Rated (minimum) capacity is 3,890 mAh. Actual battery life may vary depending on network environment, usage patterns and other factors. There are a few little issues. You don't get a reliable view of the shot you take in the camera app. What you see is before the processing has been applied, with no indication of how much better HDR will make the picture look. The good news? That means the final image will actually be a lot better.

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 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. Network : The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider. Still, the blurring effect is charming enough, and reasonable object recognition means it won't always be immediately obvious the shot was taken with a phone rather than a larger camera with a wide aperture lens. The Samsung Galaxy A51’s Portrait mode still tends to fall apart with complex subjects, as it will in most phones.The Samsung Galaxy A51's 5MP macro camera will not see you win a Wildlife Photographer of the Year award, but it is fun to play around with. You can get extremely close to your subject, and shoot objects the main camera won't even focus on. Its main issue, other than only passable image quality, is blurring. A little handshake movement will ruin your photos unless the light level is good. br>**Requires access to Samsung Account and acceptance to customized service prior to using the usage pattern analysis based service.

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 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: 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. br>****Bixby recognizes select languages and certain accents/dialects; availability of Bixby service, features and content providers may vary depending on country or language; data/Wi-Fi required to fully operate Bixby features.
