I started out as an iPhone nazi from the very first model until the iPhoneX then I decided to take a leap of faith and finally try Android out with the Galaxy A20 about 9 months ago. I really liked the versatility and freedom of the open source software vs the prison style OS on the iPhone but the camera and build quality over all left something to be desired. When the A51 5G came out I was extremely impressed with the demo model I played around with so I bought the phone outright from my provider. I've been wondering if I made a mistake choosing this over the iPhone 12 but this video reassured me "a little" lol! Obviously the iPhone 12 would have been a much better choice but I wanted to stick with the freedom of the Android OS and so far I'm loving the phone! Crisp clean display, amazing camera, decent build quality, jam packed with cool features, and fast asf! Overall the A20 left a bad taste in my mouth for the aforementioned reasons but the A51 has restored my faith that sticking with Android was a good decision!

Got this phone last month for €290 and couldn't be happier 🙂 the speakers aren't bad by any means, sure when you compare to an s20 note it's not great but when comparing it to the phone you're upgrading from it's gonna be a little better.

In my opinion, A51 5G is not much of a valuable phone. One would say that its got 5G but in most of the countries, that won't matter as of now. Chinese companies still offer much more in price range of A51 5G. Take Oppo X2 Lite (Snapdragon 765G), for example, or Realme X3 Superzoom (Snaodragon 855+) or even better - a Xiaomi Pocophone F2 Pro (Snapdragon 865).

Ofcourse it won't be as value for money as those chinese competitor, but for US market and most europe market, where those Chinese brand are tougher to get, and general doubts or just the lack of anything about those Chinese brand(except perhaps Oneplus and Huawei) this phone actually offering a great value, especially if you compare it to iPhone SE with similar internal size, or compared to more expensive LG velvet
@@ezrapardede1921 Yes, you're right; I had forgotten about the US market. To be honest, I feel bad that people in the US do not have countless varieties of what phones to buy. Though, I reckon that A51 5G will hold a reasonable value for customers.
So does this mean that this phone performs better than Samsung A71 5G? Because in terms of benchmarks, overall, Exynos 980 5g is better than Snapdragon 765 g of A71
I want this phone. It's not because of the 5G connectivity. (5G is just an add on for me). It's because of the performance. I heard that SoC used is on par with SD765G.
Sammy is killing with midrange game this year. They hiked the prices for nerds like us but they are giving the average consumer some excellent hardware ranging from the a51 to s10 lite Just give us a break sammy and lower them prices a bit no need to cross the 1000$ mark at all

I use talk to text while texting while creating messages through signal and email and each category The microphone capability leaves much to be desired. Granted I had to choose this phone because of the monthly payment was better than the Galaxy S that I wanted to have. The microphone capability fails to pick up words correctly and sometimes it doesn't pick up the words at all. It doesn't work other times it picks them up fine but that is rare. If you are in that financial boat that I am in but use a lot of the microphone talking capabilities that is what you get. If your just cheap and trying to save money that you could afford to spend and you use the microphone a lot don't buy the A 51 5G
Finally decided to buy this phone rather than the Motorola Moto 5G, Xiaomi Mi Lite 5G or Oneplus Nord. I found your reviews the most useful of all reviews I have encounteted so far. This is because cameras are important to me, and your reviews on camera quality are very detailled!

Can somebody confirm this for me please or am I getting confused?
Nice improvement on the cam & processor. I wish we can unbox this. But is it worth it to spend on a 5G phone when 5G is not yet fully established in some places?
Does it offer any water proofing ipx etc. I'll wait and the price should drop to something reasonable. I've a SamsungA5 and hard to find a waterproof mid ranger anymore. Only thing I would swap in A5 is a better camera. Used to think radio was nice addition but only work with wired earphones so less useful and you can't just run in as a table radio either for same reason.
Thank you so much for your review. I am considering it and the A71 5G. I was awaiting for you to say more negatives.You sounded like a paid marketer for this phone...minus the muffled speaker part..Don't recall anything else that was negative..But that is just me being honest.
