After a busy 2019, Samsung appears to possess found its groove in 2020. The South Korean tech giant has already launched three new smartphones within the Indian market, with two of them coming during a bracket that within the previous couple of years had seemingly been ignored by the corporate .
Launched as Lite variants of its popular Galaxy S and Note series of smartphones, the 2 represent a replacement dawn for the corporate in some ways . Interestingly, the 2 also stand juxtaposed with Samsung’s third offering of the year, the Galaxy A51, which despite the company’s best efforts, stands the danger of being chalked off as just another case of old wine being packaged during a new bottle.
But should this be so?
After all, the phone does bear a refreshed design and brings with itself some improvements in hardware and even the camera department. Yet, for those left unsure, we’ve had the device with us for a couple of days now, during which we’ve tested it to work out if claims of the Galaxy A51 just being an iterational update over the Galaxy A50 from last year are indeed true.
Read on our review to seek out the solution .
Samsung Galaxy A51: Design and display
Being the successor of the Galaxy A50, the new A51 is sure to bear some similarities with the mid-segment phone from last year. And considering how popular the previous was last year, it probably isn’t a nasty thing either.
As such, the instant you lay your eyes on the A51, you're reminded of just how close the 2 are in terms of design. The gradient Glastic back panel, metallic frame and therefore the overall form factor of the device do precious little to cover that the 2 phones are cut using an equivalent cloth.
However, Samsung’s introduced enough mutations to the A51’s DNA to make sure that it's fresh. as an example , while you continue to have an identical gradient pattern running through the rear of the phone as we saw on the A50, on the A51 we now have a way broader camera housing which makes the phone look more in line with the days .
The new camera module makes the A51 look more premium than its predecessor, and paired with the Glastic back panel, help Samsung justify the Rs 23,999 tag of the device. But that’s only the glass-like back panel of the phone is kept smudge-free -- a task much more difficult than we had imagined it to be.
As we acknowledged during our time with the Galaxy A51, the rear panel may be a smudge magnet, which considerably affects how the device looks to the attention .
The back panel merges into the metallic frame of the device, which houses the quantity rocker and power button on its right, with the left side of the frame being left untouched apart from a covered cutout for a dual SIM card tray which will also house a MicroSD card during a separate slot.
The only other blemishes on the frame are a kind C port, a 3.5mm jack and a speaker grille all placed at rock bottom of the phone. The frame of the device also holds together the device’s display which is 6.5-inches in size and may churn out a maximum resolution of 1080×2400 pixels.
Samsung’s used an Infinity-O panel on the smartphone with a facet ratio of 20:9. This particular decision makes it better suited to playing games and consuming other multimedia content thereon . And this is often something which we also acknowledged during our review of the device.
The Widevine L1 supporting Super AMOLED panel with its punchy colours may be a joy to stream content on, while games also look great on the panel due to its high colour accuracy. As compared to the A50 from last year, the viewing experience on the panel is additionally much more immersive due to it being a near-bezel less punch-hole panel.
The panel also houses an in-display sensor underneath it, which helps keep the planning of the phone clean.
Overall, in terms of the aesthetics, the Galaxy A51 may be a very solid mid-range offering, one which a minimum of looks the part -- if not an offering that’s from a better segment of the market.
Samsung Galaxy A51: Performance and software
While the device overachieves with the planning and its display, it’s strictly a mid-range smartphone when it involves performance.
This essentially means the Galaxy A51 does well at the most tasks you throw at it. However, once it involves playing heavy duty games for long hours, or maybe stress testing it using benchmarking tools, the phone does cede a touch ground to more powerful smartphones within the market.
As such, the Galaxy A51 only managed to realize an overall score of 158685 points on AnTuTu’s test, while the device managed a mediocre score of 301 points within the single-core test, and 1203 points within the multi-core test on Geekbench 5.
And this is often essentially due to the core hardware that Samsung has decided to pack within the device’s sleek frame.
While on the one hand, Samsung has upgraded the quantity of RAM fitted on the mainboard to a generous 6GB, it's decided to travel in with just about an equivalent chipset otherwise. The Exynos 9611 on the A51 houses an equivalent configuration processor as on the A50’s Exynos 9610.
Based on a 10nm FinFET process, the chipset consists of 4 Cortex-A73 cores with clock accelerates to 2.3GHz for performance-intensive tasks and 4 Cortex A-53 cores clocked at up to 1.6GHz. The Exynos 9611 SoC also embeds an equivalent ARM Mali-G72 MP3 GPU from its predecessor.
While still an honest enough chipset for gaming and performance-oriented tasks at the beginning of 2020, it just doesn’t enthuse enough confidence so as to be called a future proof SoC.
But returning to the now, we found the A51 capable enough to perform quite well on a day-to-day basis. Be it apps of daily use, or multi-tasking between heavy apps, the smartphone doesn't disappoint. Games also run fine on the device, with titles like PUBG running smoothly on medium to high setting, while lighter ones like ALTO’s Odyssey ran flawlessly over prolonged periods.
We believe, much of this is often due to the highly optimized One UI 2 that Samsung is shipping out-of-the-box with the device. The OS is predicated on Android 10 and is that the latest version of Samsung’s revamped One UI software.
Despite a touch bloatware, it’s generally clean and brings to the table a lag-free, smooth experience that not only works well but also looks premium while doing so.
The One UI 2 on the A51 also gets some extra features that currently aren’t available even on the flagship devices from Samsung. Many of those are a part of the bring India’ initiative by Samsung. the corporate claims these features are introduced supported extensive marketing research in India, and designed to assist Gen Z consumers live a quick and arranged life.
Does the phone do so? Well, to an extent yes. for instance , the Useful cards feature makes SMS wake up by identifying messages that are most useful to the user and organising them neatly within the sort of visual cards like Reminders and Offers. The Useful Cards feature helps reduce clutter within the SMS Inbox and lets consumers find useful information quickly and simply .
Then there are features like the Smart Crop and Multilingual typing, both of which are quite good at what they promise to try to to .
Overall, the aided by the improvements brought in with the new UI’s code, the Galaxy A51 manages to perform quite well for a mid-range offering. However, if you're one for looking ahead towards the longer term , its chipset may be one among the explanations to steer beyond the phone.
Samsung Galaxy A51: Cameras
For a mid-range device, the Galaxy A51 gives you good bang for the buck when it involves the cameras. Over the A50, the new device definitely comes as an upgrade. this is often because the Galaxy A51 sports a quad-camera setup with a primary 48-megapixel lens sat next to a 5-megapixel macro lens, 12-megapixel fisheye lens , and 5-megapixel camera for depth sensing.
Of these, it’s definitely the 48-megapixel pixel binned lens that’s the highlight. As we acknowledged during our review, the lens is capable of clicking some really impressive shots during the day, with an honest amount of detail and accurate colours.
This lens also helps elevate the low-light performance of the camera to A level where it’s now definitely better than what we saw on the Galaxy A150 last year. However, that’s not really a gold standard the A50 might want to be judged against.
Apart from this, the A51’s cameras offer tons of versatility, with the quad-camera set-up at the rear also bringing to the table the convenience of a 12-megapixel strong ultra-wide lens with a powerful 123-degree field of view. due to the decent amount of pixels thereon , the pictures clicked using the lens also begin sharp with an honest amount of detail -- and thankfully, with little or no fisheye.
We also quite liked the Macro lens on the device, which might definitely are available handy if you generally like clicking pack up photos of things around you.
On the front, there’s a pleasant little selfie lens that Samsung has tucked inside the punch-hole on the display. For the lens, Samsung has gone big on the megapixel count. 32-megapixel help the lens capture an honest amount of detail and capture each and each detail of your face.
However, that’s with the sweetness mode turned off.
The lens is additionally quite competent at understanding skin tones accurately something that might are available quite handy if you click tons of selfies.
Samsung Galaxy A51: Battery
Unlike many of the smartphones we’ve tested within the recent past, the Samsung Galaxy A51 doesn’t impress an excessive amount of with its battery performance. The phone brings a 4000mAh pack which almost gets you thru the day on one charge when the device used moderately -- which should be ok for many users.
And when the battery does die on you, the phone disappoints with no support for Samsung’s current-gen blazing fast charging technology. As such, with the device’s 15W adaptive fast charger, the A51 takes a touch over half-hour to charge to 30 per cent, and about two hours to charge to the brim.
While this is often ok for many users, it's going to not be adequate going into 2020 when most competing phones now bring support for faster-charging technologies -- and in some cases even bigger batteries.
Samsung Galaxy A51: Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A51 may be a tough one to guage .
It has everything it needs for a mid-range phone immediately , and yet it doesn’t for one that’s alleged to enter strong to the latter stages of 2020. For a phone that the customer might want to use for a minimum of subsequent three years, the Galaxy A50 just doesn’t evoke the type of confidence with its hardware to warrant an outright recommendation.
However, as a phone for the here and now, it does begin looking sort of a very competitive offering because of its impressive design, display and therefore the above cameras it packs.
It’s definitely a far better offering than the A50 launched last year. However, it can't be ignored that it’s also a costlier in comparison to its predecessor. Looking outside, at Rs 23,999 the Galaxy A51 also sees itself rubbing shoulders with some seriously powerful phones like the Redmi K30 Pro.
While it doesn’t beat the actual device when it involves raw computing power, it does, however, offer a singular Samsung experience tailored to subsequent gen Indian buyer, which altogether honesty could just convince be the ace up its sleeve when it involves buying decisions between the Galaxy A51 and competing players within the market.
