According to Samsung, the Galaxy A51 smartphone is the first smartphone of the series to come with the Sport of Infinity-O display and macro camera for Rs 23,999. In addition to these highlight features, many of its specifications are like the existing Galaxy A50S, including AMOLED displays, processors and designs etc. Redmi K20 Pro (Rs 24,999) and Redmi K20 Apart from this, no other smartphone competes the Samsung Galaxy A51 in this price, which can prove to be an advantage for Samsung.
In such a situation, will this new lower mid-range smartphone prove to be better than the current competition? let’s take a look.
Samsung Galaxy A51 Design
Samsung The design of the Galaxy A51 matches the Galaxy A50S. Its body is made up of polycarbonate and weighs only 172g. Along with this, the phone also looks quite thin. Its thickness is just 7.9 mm. The fingers on its bright back are easily printed. However, these marks do not appear much on the prism black colored variants. The finish of the back panel is slightly slippery, but thankfully Samsung gives a case cover free in the box of this phone.
Galaxy A50s Compared to Galaxy A51 The biggest change in is Infinity-O display, which we are looking at the Galaxy A-series phone for the first time. Samsung has named Hole-Panch display as Infinity-O. This hole in this phone Galaxy Note 10+ Like the upper part of the display is given in between. Even though Samsung has not changed the design of the phone’s body too much, the phone gives a premium look due to the hole-punches, which we appreciate. The Galaxy A51 uses a super amoled panel with full-HD+ resolution, which gives Panchi colors and good sharpness. Due to the thin bezel all around, its display looks great from the front.
In the Galaxy A51, the button is also fitted with a good place. It has a card tray on the right, in which two Nano-SIM cards and a microSD card can be installed. The bottom is 3.5mm headphone socket, USB Type-C port and speaker grill. The setup of four cameras has been given in the rear of the Galaxy A51. The good thing is that its camera bump is not very high.
In addition to the phone in the box of Samsung Galaxy A51, there is a 15 watt fast charger, a type-C cable, a headset, a SIM tray extracting pin and a cover.
Samsung Galaxy A51 Specifications and Software
In the Samsung Galaxy A51, the company has given the Exynos 9611 processor included in the current Galaxy A50S, which in 2020 and at this price, makes the phone feel a bit weak. The Galaxy A51 is launched with 6 GB RAM and 8 GB RAM options. Both variants have 128 GB internal storage. Apart from this, the phone includes dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, Bluetooth 5, GPS, NFC and FM Radio etc. This phone has all the normal sensors. The Galaxy A51 also has a Widwin L1 certification. This phone supports Samsung Pay, so you can also use it for contactless payment.
The Galaxy A51 has one UI 2.0 based on Android 10. This new version is similar to the previous version of One UI, which we have used earlier. However, the company has made some changes to it to make the user experience better. Instead of sending to the theme, it now lets the UI user change the wallpaper directly from the dedicated menu.
Apart from this, now ‘device care’ sub-manue has also been given a new look. Battery usage information can now be tracked for the last seven days instead of the last full charge. Now you can also change the lockscreen app icon. As before, this version still has some blotware (unwanted apps) already installed, including the third-party app and some apps of Samsung, but most of them can be easily removed. Samsung has also added some India-specific features to the Galaxy A51. In this, now users can convert your SMS into visual cards. Apart from this, features like multilingual pregnancy and smart crops are also included.
Samsung Galaxy A51 Performance and Battery Life
The Galaxy A51 day-to-day use is very similar to the Galaxy A50. We have liked its thinness and light form factor. Navigating its interface is fast, but it does not give much smooth feel. Sometimes we have also seen lags in its system animation. Its benchmark performance also does not affect much according to Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 or 665 chipset. Overall, it is slightly less according to the price of this phone.
Biometric authentication works well, but it is slightly slow. Its in-display fingerprint sensor takes some time to certify the finger impression and unlock the phone and there is a similar face unlock feature.
The Galaxy A51 Dolby comes with Atmos support, but this feature only works when you use headphones. The audio quality of the earphones that comes with it gives average experience. However, this phone gives better audio with some high-grade earphones available in the market. The output of the speaker below is not much, but is enough to hear alone. One of the best part of this phone is its display. The brightness of the display is quite good and the colors look very good in it. Because of this, you get a good experience to watch the video in the phone.
Samsung Galaxy A51 has a 4,000 mAh capacity battery. This battery lasted for 14 hours and 55 minutes in our HD video loop test. On using regularly, this phone went comfortably throughout the day and with the end of the day, it had a half -day battery left. Fast charging support has been provided in this phone. On checking us, we found that the phone’s charger can charge it up to 67 percent in an hour. It takes more than two hours to fully charge. Although it is sharp, but it is a bit slow compared to other phones in the segment. For example, Redmi K20 Pro gets charged up to 80 percent in an hour.
Samsung galaxy a51 cameras
Samsung has added an additional 5-megapixel macro sensor to the new Galaxy A51 phone against the triple camera setup included in the Galaxy A50s. The other three cameras include a 48-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 5-megapixel depth sensor.
The camera app in One UI 2.0 has also improved slightly compared to the earlier. Most shooting modes have now been deposited simultaneously in the “More” menu. The good thing is that you can add them to the main viewfinder interface according to your mind.
Its main camera takes pictures in 12-megapixel resolution by default, but you can also take pictures on the entire 48-megapixel resolution. This option is given in the aspect ratio settings. The Galaxy A51 camera draws a good detail picture of the subject involved in the center of the camera frame in a state of good light, but the subjects present in the edges usually look slightly blurred and soft.
In low light, the main camera took pictures with good colors. Photos come with plenty of details and nois (dots) are also seen in them. It also has a dedicated night mode, but we did not see much difference in photos taken from this mode and photographs taken in standard mode, because when low light, the scene of the app sets the optimizer camera setting itself according to low light.
Talking about the wide-angle camera lens, it takes a very large area inside the frame, but spherical deformity is seen in its edges. Even after turning on the “ultra wide lens correction” option in the camera app, we have seen the problem of spherical deformity in many photos. Apart from this, the photos in low light from this lens come with dark and bad details. Even the night mode does not see any good effect in the pictures taken from this lens.
Live-focus mode blurred the background of photos. The quality of the pictures is good and its depth sensor is also well done. Users can set the blur in it according to them.
It also makes good pictures taken from nearby. The camera can focus rapidly in good light. The subject in the macro camera can be drawn quite closely. Colors are good in macro shot and details are also plentiful in pictures.
The Galaxy A51 can make videos up to 4 kg resolution, but it does not include stabilization. The video is good in good light, but in the low light, there are quite a grain in the video. If you make videos in 1080 pixels, you will get a stable video, but the moving video shows a shining. This shining increases further in low light. You can use ‘Super-Standy’ feature in this camera app, which uses wide-angle lens for video recording. The video becomes stable in this, but the details become very bad.
The 32-megapixel camera in front takes photos on a 12-megapixel or 8-megapixel resolution as a default. Selfies do not clear many times in this. The camera softens the tone of the skin. Many times this softness increases so much that selfie looks foggy. Details are good in low light, but there is a lack of sharpness.
It includes Pro, Panorama, Food, Hyperlaps, Super Slow-Mo and Slow Motion Mode in other camera mode, which have also been seen in the earlier Samsung phone. In this, Bixby Vision and AR Emoji can also be accessed through the camera app. The Galaxy A51 also includes AR Doodle, which we have also seen in the Galaxy S10 Series earlier.
Verdict
Samsung on Galaxy A51 Galaxy A50s Launched at a slightly higher price than the launch price. In lieu of this additional price, the company has given you the fourth rear camera, a more modern looking hole-pant display and more RAM. Currently, Samsung has launched only 6 GB variant of this phone in India, which costs Rs 23,999. The 8 GB RAM option has been listed in the company’s website, but it is not yet available for purchase.
Power users will immediately argue that Galaxy A51 From only Rs 1,000 more than Rs 1,000, 20 Pro of Redmi with equal RAM and storage option will give better performance and they will not be wrong to a large extent. In Redmi K20 Pro you get a flagship-grade processor, HDR display, more premium build quality and better camera setup. If you do too much gaming, yes, 20 Pro of Redmi There will be a better option for you. Even in a little less money you Redmi K20 Can also find, which is a competent mobile phone.
However, Galaxy A51 also has some options that some users may like a lot. Despite having a higher price, users seeking this phone simple and smooth experience will be liked. In this you get the experience of Android 10. Along with this, there is thinness in the phone and light body, Samsung Pay, Good Battery Life, Excellent Display and Surely Samsung brand. We would like to join a more powerful processor at this price. Apart from this, its slow biometric sensor and average camera performance also leads the phone one step back.
Even Samsung Galaxy A50 now provides good value at its new initial price (Rs 19,990). However, if you are trying to buy a non -outdated smartphone, then it would be prudent to buy Galaxy A51 except the Galaxy A50s.
