The company says awesome is for everyone.
And with the mobile mid-range market more saturated than ever, we decided now is time to test a handset that will likely sell in huge numbers over the world, Samsung's A51. This phone a restrained yet still attractive design, Samsung's A51 is loaded with quadruple rear cameras, an amoled display with a middle located selfie camera, and Samsung's glass like plastic back.
Samsung's Galaxy A51 has been selling throughout Europe since early February while the device went on sale in the US in April 2020 and also sells for $399.99/£329.
Testing Performance
The Samsung Galaxy A51's AMOLED screen is as great as you expect from Galaxy devices}, the colours show as very bright and vibrant and the device's viewing angles are quite a pleasure. There's very little to quibble about although some people will find something, other than it is a bit dull (but still readable) in direct sunlight and circumstances are not great for viewing, even if you have the contrast fully up.
And here is when reviewing top of the line devices such as Oppo's Find X2 Pro 2020 the One Plus 8 is not helpful in getting some sense of what a mid-range handset such as this beast.
The A51's processor can't match the flagship chipset and moving away from top processor to the midrange chipset becomes a wakeup call then you remember that this smartphone is just a middle of the range unit and that accommodations should be allowed for.
There can be no mistaking that, Samsung's Galaxy A51 is slow to respond sometimes yet we were uncertain whether the device if it had recognised my touch when attempting to open one of the apps or to to share something.
And, its an amount of hesitation that we haven’t had to deal with in some time, even on simple phones that can be had for only £139.
And as for the fingerprint sensor, suffice to say that Samsung should have rather put it on the rear as we got a success ratio of roughly 50% when attempting to unlock the device before ending up typing the pin code.
The Galaxy A51 Design
Due to its galssticky rear, the Galaxy A51 doesn't really feel or look like a mid-range device, the plastic construction does seem more forgiving when it is in the grip in that there aren't any sharp edges you can sometimes see on handsets that have rear panels built out of glass.
This subtle design trait with the rear paneling is good and this provides a touch of character to the A51. Often the branding on cheaper devices can be a smidgen over the top, the Samsung logo has been discretely used.
You'll see a camera that, for whatever reason, is made even have a peek at this web-site noticeable due to what looks like a metallic circle around it that attracts eyes.
Audio enthusiasts are sure to rejoice in the fact that there's an audio jack on the lower edge of the device, sitting alongside the USB Type-C port and the speaker's chamber.
The top of the device there is a single microphone while the right hand edge has the power switch as well as the loudness adjuster with the SIM card tray place on the reverse edge of the device.
It's a neat if, classy looking unit that fits nicely into a normal pocket easily.
Battery
Considering a typical day's worth of duty, the 2020 A51 get through the day and have some ten percent more to use at midnight, but there were a couple times when the handset required a top-up during evening following heavier usage.
Thankfully the A51's 15W charging enables the phone can be charged fully over a two hour time frame, and a quick charger will take the phone up to 30%, this is just acceptable but hardly wonderful for the phone.
