Samsung Galaxy A51 Review | Quad camera beast for £300

Ғылым және технология

Reviewing Samsung's Galaxy A51 smartphone, a £300 budget-friendly version of those flagship handsets with quad lens rear camera, Exynos smarts, 4000mAh battery and One UI 2.0 on board. I've been testing the A51 as my full-time phone and here's my full thoughts on whether it's your best mid-range option.
While most attention is locked on the new Galaxy S20 series, the A-series blowers offer a similar experience for a cheaper price. This smartphone offers a flexible quad lens rear camera, complete with most of Samsung's usual features. That includes the night mode, live focus and the emoji nonsense. One UI brings plenty of extra additions and stronger security to Android 10 - go check out my full tips and tricks guide to see my favourite bits on the Galaxy A51.
Performance is reasonably smooth, although you'll see the occasional stutter and pause here and there from that Exynos platform. Thankfully the 4000mAh battery keeps you going all day without much stress.
So have you been using the Samsung A51 as your personal mobile? Leave your own review below.

    I've had one about 2 weeks now. I feel exactly the same about it pretty much. You mentioned the notifications sometimes not showing up until you unlock the phone. They went overly aggressive with the battery optimizations in my opinion. I think they tried to hide the weaker battery in it by making it aggressive by default. I tweaked my battery optimizations and it helped quite a bit with notifications showing up. I have noticed that when the same number calls me back to back the ringtones seem to change for no reason. Its quite annoying lol

    This phone probably will sell well here in the UK. It is a known brand, does most things like the camera and social media, and most importantly not too expensive. Only negative if you call it that, is the processor is not as strong as some rivals. But then there is the A71 which has a better processor and slightly bigger screen.

    I had this phone for one day and I've returned it because unfortunately it was very slow and clunky. Gorgeous design but weak performance. It was a 4gb ram UK version.

    I had a bad experience from A70 as well. I have touch issues where the joystick is not responding when im playing games. Im never buying any samsung midrange again

    Well, today I've received the replacement which is a honor 20. Man this phone is a beast and costs also 30£ less then the a51. Highly recommend this one
