Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy A51 technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy A51 suits everyday users who want an OLED screen and a broad set of connections. Its main compromise is peak brightness: 400 nits is among the lowest for phones launched around the same time.

Its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display has 405 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones from that period. At 172 g, it also weighs less than most. The configuration shown pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, and storage can be expanded. Android 13, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack and Dual Nano-SIM round out the practical features.

The AnTuTu result of 276,561 is above average for phones launched around the same time, and its connectivity is better than most. The 48 MP resolution is higher than most, but the 1/2.96″ main sensor is smaller than those in most phones from that period. Its 4,000 mAh battery capacity is average; 15 W charging is below average.

With a NeoScore of 4.7, the Galaxy A51 is a fit for buyers who prioritize a sharp AMOLED display, low weight and useful connections, and can accept limited brightness and slower charging.
