Battery life is decent too, and power is respectable. The plastic build is a disappointment, and there are some unsurprising omissions such as waterproofing and wireless charging, but these are small complaints.

Samsung's Galaxy A51 is another mid-range device that has hardly any real weaknesses. Its cameras are one of its highlights - although the gap to the high-end is still noticeable, for example when it comes to low-light performance or zooming.

slim; fancy case; flexible camera of good quality; a lot of LTE frequencies; dedicated microSD slot; 60-fps gaming in some games; color-accurate and bright screen; hardly any heat development

performance average for this price range; battery life could be longer; no continuous zoom; browsing is on the slow side

Samsung Galaxy A51 is targeted at users looking for a mid-premium Android option. There’s a lot to like including the Infinity-O display, stylish design as well as good cameras and performance. This is a good buy for those willing to spend up to Rs 24,000.

Others may offer stronger performance, battery life and camera results, but the Galaxy A51 is bursting with great features and excels for movies and music

Stuttery at times; Average battery life; Photo results mixed

The Galaxy 51 is the latest mid-range smartphone from Samsung, launched in December, 2019. The phone was announced along with the Galaxy A71 , and came as the successor of the A50 launched earlier this year .

2019 was a landmark year for Samsung and not only did the South Korean smartphone giant introduce the world to its clean and streamlined One UI but it also doubled-down and revamped the faltering A Series.

Small improvements and subtle tweaks over its predecessor but the Galaxy A51 is still incredible value

Astonishing value for money; 48MP camera for less; Massive Super AMOLED screen

Slightly shorter battery life than Galaxy A50; Cheaper alternatives in Xiaomi

The Samsung Galaxy A51 is an affordable way to get a good-looking Galaxy phone, but it makes Android feel a little too slow for us to wholeheartedly recommend it.

Bold OLED screen; Has a headphone jack; It’s a Samsung Galaxy; without an S20 price

Feels slower than most at this level; Poor fingerprint scanner; Unusually prominent punch-hole camera

With the Galaxy S20 series starting a thousand dollars , many cash-strapped Samsung fans are probably considering more affordable upgrade options this year. And apparently, Samsung anticipated this (and if it didn't, it sure knows now ), as it's making more of its low-end and mid-range lineup...

Display The screen is massive, and it's an AMOLED panel. You can't ask for much more on a mid-range phone; Performance The Exynos processor with 4GB RAM handled my usual apps and games just fine.

Cameras The main camera produces muddy photos, and the other two lenses aren't any better; Design While the Galaxy A51 is generally designed well, the glossy plastic back attracts fingerprints and smudges much easier than glass.

Doctor, there’s a fly in this ointment
