The Galaxy A50 was a real bestseller last year. In its price segment, the smartphone was distinguished by the presence of a fingerprint sensor built into the screen. The cost, which amounted to 20,000 rubles, deprived the device of direct competitors, because. the quality was much higher than the price. This decision had a significant impact on sales, which led to the fact that the phone entered the top three best-selling models in Russia among all categories, which is rather strange for a device that is not a flagship. In addition, for several months in a row, the device came out on top among the leaders in sales. The smartphone is undoubtedly the biggest success for Samsung in 2019.
So, a huge audience, which received extremely positive impressions from the A50, was looking forward to the next development, despite the fact that they understood that the gadget is not a flagship, but is a balanced model belonging to the middle segment. At the same time, the user received a large and high-quality screen, high performance and a long period of time. If any claims arose, it was only from those who hoped to acquire a flagship for 20 thousand rubles, but expectations were shattered.
Finally, Samsung fanatics waited for the long-awaited update in the face of the Samsung Galaxy A51, and then the Internet received information about the upcoming release of the Samsung Galaxy M51 model. The first question that arises is for which segments of the population the novelty was developed? The audience of the phone turned out to be as wide as possible. It is suitable for young people, and for the elderly, and for people who are constantly overwhelmed with work. This offer will be interesting for those who are looking for the best value for money. The cost of the model is about 20 thousand rubles, which is an ideal value for that part of the population that wants to acquire an interesting multifunctional gadget, but does not want to take risks with B-brands. As a rule, the popularity of the manufacturer plays a significant role in the choice. Unknown brands are not perceived even if they offer a better product for a penny. It is clear that you do not want to take risks if there are no guarantees of quality.
Looking at the M51 in detail, we can conclude that the technology is far superior to Chinese smartphones in the same price category, but the price can be called really low.

Now, considering the design of the main number of smartphones, it is difficult to distinguish them from each other if you do not pay attention to the brand mark. Samsung decided to make their device stand out from the rest by applying a geometric pattern. Thus, the panel turned out to be easily recognizable.
There are only three color options in Russia: red, white and black. Other markets, according to sources, have other color schemes.
The back cover and frame are made of plastic. In addition, it should be noted that there is a matte effect, which makes the coating pleasant to the touch and significantly improves the visual perception of the phone. Although plastic is used as the material, there is no need to complain about the quality. But it's better to get a cover, because. scratches will sooner or later begin to remain from contact with various kinds of surfaces.
The dimensions and weight of the smartphone turned out to be optimal, which allows it to be safely in the hand. Ergonomically, it is no different from the previous model.
The fingerprint sensor is located on the back cover. Now you can find more interesting models for the same price, where the print is integrated into the screen, but for many this issue is not fundamental.It is worth remembering that this is not a flagship, so you should not expect high-speed work. The response time is about a second. For its cost, the gadget shows excellent results, in which there are no flaws.
The right side is equipped with a paired volume button and an on / off button. This solution is standard for Samsung, so there is no reason to be surprised. However, a truly strange solution can be found on the opposite side, where there is a slot for two nanoSIM cards and a microSD memory card, as well as another volume button. The manufacturer did not give any comments on this matter, so it is not known whether this key will have the same functions as the similar one on the other side, or other features will be attributed to it.
The speaker output and the main microphone are located on the lower and upper ends. You can also find a 3.5 mm jack there. There is only one speaker, so there is no need to complain about the sound. Nevertheless, the sound would be much better if there were two outputs. However, there are no complaints, because. audibility is good in various conditions.
The presence of a noise reduction system turned out to be indispensable. So, in public places and especially in clubs, the amount of unnecessary noise is minimized. It should be noted that the equipment from Samsung copes with its task perfectly, so there is no doubt about the quality of the new product.
Separately, it should be noted the assembly, which turned out to be quite high quality. The case is made of pleasant material, which will give the phone a more expensive look than it really is. But the lack of moisture protection is a little disappointing.However, direct competitors also do not have a similar addition, which is reassuring. The front LED is also missing, but here such a decision is understandable: there was simply no place for it.
Among other advantages, it is worth noting the following: many manufacturers have abandoned the standard headphone jack. And this decision is reasonable, because most of the population now uses a Bluetooth headset, so the connector is simply useless. Nevertheless, this model can be found "jack". This makes the novelty especially convenient for the budget class.
The display size was 6.5 inches, which can be called a good value. It is worth focusing on the fact that the front camera is built into the upper left corner. The hole turned out to be neat and discreet, which allows you to work with the gadget without being distracted. The middle price segment owes this technology to the flagships. The screen is flex-free, completely flat, and the thin bezels contribute to a modern look.
Screen settings are default. If desired, they can be customized, which in most cases is a very useful feature.
The brightness level can be called optimal. Even in the sun you can read freely. The diagonal is ideal for watching videos, photos and studying text information. The smartphone can be safely called universal, and a large and high-quality screen will noticeably distinguish it from the rest of the "bored" devices. In addition, AMOLED is a significant plus, given the price category.
The battery in the gadget is built-in standard - Li-Pol, the capacity of which was 4000 mAh.Fast charging is supported, the appropriate charger is included. There is no wireless charging, but given the cost, you can’t complain.
In everyday use, the smartphone functions for two days, if you take into account the automatic brightness control of the suspension (the system independently adjusts the optimal brightness level in certain lighting conditions). Here, the period of operation of the screen does not exceed 7.5 hours. Samsung equipped their creation with a good screen and a productive chipset, which made it possible to achieve a long operating time.
Of course, for the most part it all depends on the area in which the phone is used and the applications that are used in the process. Nevertheless, the ability to discharge the gadget in just a day with active use is almost completely excluded. It takes about 75-80 minutes to fully charge. Consequently, the phone gets another "plus" for long-term operation.
The performance is high, the interface is fast and smooth, third-party applications do not crash and respond quickly to commands. Particular attention is drawn to the fact that the manufacturer not only did not try to save money, but also created a working bundle, which made it possible to significantly lengthen the life cycle of the device without harm to the owner.
If you believe the preliminary information, then the gadget will be presented in just one configuration - 6/128 GB. This solution can be called optimal, because and the most suitable memory sizes, which will allow you to work without the help of a memory card, and the speed of functioning at the required level.If, nevertheless, the built-in memory is not enough, then this is compensated by the presence of a slot for a memory card. The phone supports a memory card up to 512 GB. This is an excellent value for inexpensive smartphones, but now you can find much more impressive parameters.
Having carefully studied the latest developments of the company, we can conclude that the developers pay special attention to the radio part of their technologies. Navigation is also not lame: a cold start on city streets takes no more than 3 seconds, and the accuracy is really high.
Thus, even in small things, the model does not deviate from the standards, which indicates that the developers care about their customers.
The camera interface does not stand out from the background of previous models, so it was not possible to be surprised here.
The resolution of the front camera was 32 megapixels. There is a bokeh effect, a large number of additional effects. Photos can be called truly high quality.
Three lenses on the body make up the main camera module. The main camera has a resolution of 48 megapixels. Although there is no reason to complain about the quality of the picture, nevertheless, now you can find more impressive models. However, if we take into account the presence of only three modules, then such a resolution can be called quite justified. Often phones with three cameras have similar characteristics. The wide-angle module has a sufficient viewing angle to compensate for some lack of picture quality.
Summing up the above information, we can safely say that the main camera is decent, but the resolution of the front camera turned out to be more than amazing for this price category.
Summing up, we should take a closer look at some of the additions that the new model can please.
There is no need to complain about the connection, the work in LTE also did not fail, 4G works without interruptions, which guarantees a high data transfer rate, unlike analogues in this price category. It is impossible not to mention the strong side of the company - high-quality speech transmission, which is also on the level here.
The software initially comes with Android 10.0. Those. version of the interface with all modern updates, so you can call it one of the best both in terms of flexibility and in terms of features without a twinge of conscience.
The list of standard applications includes a calculator, a file manager, a voice recorder and other applications necessary for the normal functioning of a smartphone. In addition, a number of Samsung smartphones pleased the audience with access to Bixby scenarios, which was previously only used in flagships. For this reason, fans of the brand expect similar results here as well.
Direct competitors of the model simply do not reach the appropriate level, which indicates the optimal ratio of price and quality.
So, we can conclude that buying the M51 would be a reasonable decision. The exact release date and final cost is still unknown, but some sources say that the price will not exceed $250.
