Overview of the Samsung Galaxy A51 smartphone with key features

Today's smart device market never ceases to amaze with its diversity. Every day there is information about a new device that promises to be the best and compete with all its predecessors. Mobile phones in all their varieties have ceased to be a luxury and have become an essential every second necessity in human life. Any user can choose a smartphone for himself according to his pocket, technical parameters and the most sophisticated requirements. Most often, attention is focused on well-known brands that are considered more reliable and prestigious. One of them, of course, is Samsung.

At the very beginning of 2019, a new model Samsung Galaxy A50 appeared, in August its updated version A50s, and by the end of the year, information about the new continuation of the Samsung Galaxy A51 series flashed on the network. What new will the well-known manufacturer present and how will it try to surprise its users.With the rapid growth of competition, you have to invent bright designs, new features and improve parameters again and again.

Design and features

With all the need to present a variety of designs, Samsung remains adamant in the classic appearance. Strict shape with rounded corners, comfortable dimensions (158.4 * 73.7 * 7.9), which combine ease of use in conversation and when viewing files on the screen. A feature of the front panel will be an unusual hole for the front camera in the upper part. The teardrop notch is a thing of the past, it was replaced by an elegant “peephole”, which does not distract attention during normal Internet surfing, but at the same time hides a full-fledged device for taking high-quality selfies. The thin frame of the screen does not affect its view in any way.The back panel is smooth and shiny. If this model becomes a continuation of its predecessor and appears in a plastic version, then it will hardly be possible to please users. All discussions suggest that the A51 will only be of interest if the case is glass. Even high-quality plastic is still inferior to glass. On the back of the device, traditionally in the upper left corner, is the main camera (four compact sensors and a flash). The camera does not protrude strongly on the body, so it does not create any inconvenience when using the smartphone in a supine position.

The control buttons have a classic location on the right side of the sidebar. On the left is a slot for SIM cards and flash memory. The bottom side is a Type-C connector and a fixed mini-jack for a headset. Speakers and microphones have not changed their place and remained in their original places.

Regarding the color, there is no clear information yet. We know for sure about the black glossy color of the smartphone, but other colors are possible. After all, color diversity is of great importance for attracting the public.

• Convenient size of the device, which is suitable for any necessary operations;
• Strict classic design;
• Thin bezel of the front panel, which does not burden the visual perception;
• The front camera does not violate the integrity of the display due to a small hole in the upper part;
• The main camera is not located in relief, so it does not create discomfort when using the device.

• Case material – plastic;
• There is no color information yet.

Display and features

The screen size is 6.5 inches or 103.7 sq. cm, this size is equal to the ratio of the screen to the body of the device is approximately 88.8%.Given the desire to attract customers, it makes no sense for the manufacturer to lower the quality of the screen, so this is a super AMOLED capacitive touch display with the same 16 million colors and shades. Protected by 2.5D glass. The pixel resolution promises to be the same 1080 x 2340 pixels at the classic 19.5: 9 ratio for the latest series, but the pixel density has dropped below ~ 396 ppi, which can significantly affect image quality.

• Fairly large screen with thin bezels around;
• High-quality color reproduction;
• There is a built-in display protection in the form of 2.5D glass;
• Good pixel resolution combined with a convenient aspect ratio.

• The pixel density is less than in the previous version, which may affect the quality of the displayed image.

Platform and Memory

Samsung, without hesitation, equipped their new brainchild with their own Exynos 9611 chipset (10 nm) with a Mali-G72 MP3 graphics processor, which, according to many comparative characteristics, is not only not worse than Snapdragon, but in some respects many times better.

Exynos 9611 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 660

1. Performance and speed in applications and games, albeit slightly, but exceeds the capabilities of its rival from Qualcomm;
2. The Samsung platform supports more RAM (up to 6 GB);
3. The size of the transistor (10 nm) is smaller, which automatically speeds up all processes;
4. The Exynos 9611 also outperformed Snapdragon by 10% in the Potential Energy Efficiency rating.
5. The Mali-G72 MP3 graphics against the Adreno 612 does not have any extra advantages, but it cannot be called worse either.

Thus, the manufacturer once again showed its position independent of forced cooperation, thereby raising its rating among competitors.

Memory sizes

Regarding memory, it is still difficult to say exactly what Samsung will offer. Presumably, according to the information that has appeared, the Galaxy A51 model will be released in three versions, which will have different prices due to differences in volume:

1. 4 GB RAM + 64 GB internal memory;
2. 4 GB + 128 GB;
3. 6 GB + 128 GB.

In addition, it is possible to expand the storage space up to 1 TB. There is a separate slot for an additional storage card, so you don’t have to lose the device’s ability to support two SIM cards.

• The manufacturer used its own product as a chipset - Exynos 9611, which increases the capabilities of the smartphone in comparison with competing models;
• Improved performance and responsiveness in gaming and other applications;
• Excellent energy saving performance;
• Even the youngest model in the series offers a decent amount of memory;
• In connection with the proposed options, users have the opportunity to choose a device at a suitable cost;
• To expand the storage, 1 TB is allowed, which automatically makes the smartphone convenient for both work (requiring information storage) and leisure (a lot of space for downloading music and video files);
• For microSD there is a separate cell in a solid slot with SIM cards.

• Temporary lack of accurate information about some parameters.

Camcorders and image quality

In the frantic pace of competing companies, Samsung is looking for alternatives to improve its new product.Today, a smartphone replaces everything, it is a means of communication, and a mini laptop for work, and a video-audio player, as well as a camera. Among the most active users, young people are in the first place, which focuses on the quality of photos and the ability to shoot videos. That's why the Galaxy A51 will have a new quad-lens main camera and a higher resolution front camera.

The main camera block is located in the upper left corner of the rear panel. It has 4 sensors with different resolutions and functions that are different from each other. The 48 MP primary lens is quite a decent resolution for an allegedly mid-budget line of models. The second lens is 12 megapixels with the main task of "telephoto" is responsible for 2x optical zoom. The next one in the block is also 12 megapixels, it regulates the increase in the angular captures of the composition being shot. Wide-angle shooting is also enabled in night mode. 2 MP for portraits and artistic photos with built-in effects.

The quality of photos and videos correspond to the assigned tasks and should please photo lovers.

Selfie camera - 32 MP. There are some intelligent photo processing elements. The user can adjust the level of smoothing defects. Also, the front camera is capable of transmitting a good image in video calls applications.

• The main camera improved in comparison with the previous model;
• The bright LED flash does a great job of creating the desired effects in the dark. Twilight will not be an obstacle for photo shoots;
• Selfies will please the quality of even the most picky photographer.

• The available information does not allow us to judge shortcomings. This can be discussed more specifically after the official presentation.

Battery and smartphone autonomy

For the proposed performance and sufficiently wide functionality, the device urgently needs a battery with a large margin. The manufacturer had no right to blunder in this matter, so the battery of the new Galaxy (non-removable lithium polymer) is rated at 4000 mAh. Fast battery charging 15W is a great addition to the overall picture of the device.

• Large battery capacity;
• Availability of fast charging;

• No.

The date of the official presentation of the new smartphone Samsung Galaxy A51 has not yet been determined. Tentatively it will be the end of December, the beginning of January. But already according to the available data of parameters and descriptions, we can conclude that the device will be competitive in its price range.
