Now that the middle range devices more saturated than ever before, we thought it's a good idea to review a device that is selling in large numbers around the world, Samsung’s Galaxy A51. With a restrained yet classic design, the Galaxy A51 has quadruple rear cameras, an AMOLED display and a centrally located selfie camera, as well as a glass-tastick rear back.
The Samsung A51 has been on the market in Europe from February and handset went on sale in the US during April and retails for $400/£330.

Styling And Design
Due to its glass-ticky back panel, the Galaxy A51 does not really feel or look like it's a mid-range handset, the plastic construction feels more forgiving when in your grip because there aren't any sharp edges like you sometimes get on smartphones that are built with back panels built from glass. This design trait with the rear panel is nice and this gives a touch of class to the phone.
And the branding on enbtry level smartphones is a touch overdone at times, the Samsung logo is discretely located.
You will see a selfie camera setup that, for some reason, is becomes even noteworthy due to what looks like a metal circle that draws eyes.
Serious audiophiles will rejoice in the fact that there is an audio jack located on the handset's bottom, sitting alongside the USB Type-C charging port and the speaker chamber.
The top of the phone houses a single microphone while the right-hand edge there's a power button and volume rocker with the SIM tray place on the other side.
It's a tidy if, inoffensive device that will slip nicely into a normal-sized pocket easily.
Speed And Performance
The Samsung Galaxy A51's Super AMOLED display is as great as we have come to expect from Galaxy devices}, the colours appear bright and vibrant with viewing angles are superb. There's not a lot to whine about other than it’s a little dull (yet it is still readable) in sunlight and circumstances are not conducive to viewing, even when you have the brightness turned up to 100%.
And here is where testing top of the line devices such as OPPO’s Find X2 Pro as well as the OnePlus 8 is hurtful in getting a balanced perspective of a mid-range handset like this handset.
The Exynos 9611 processor is not about to match the Snapdragon 865 CPU and moving from the Exynos to the latter is a wakeup call then you understand that the A51 is a mid-range unit and that allowances must be made.
You notice that, the Samsung Galaxy A51 can be laggy at times and I was left to wonder whether the A51 had recognised the touch or not when trying to open an app or make use of the phone.
And, it is an amount of lag that we haven’t experienced in some time, even on entry level devices such check here as Honor's 10 Lite that costs just £140.
And as for the in-display fingerprint sensor, I'll just say that Samsung should have rather put it on the rear panel as I had a success about 50% when trying to unlock the handset before ending up entering the pin code.
