The frequency of 242.7 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below. While the Galaxy A51 is less demanding under maximum load, it consumes more power while idling. Overall, we would recommend Samsung to take a closer look at its energy management if it wants to remain competitive in future. While it does heat up slightly under load, the temperature remains comfortable for users at all times. The internal UFS storage in the Galaxy A51 reaches similar speeds as the other devices in this price range, although there still are significantly faster devices such as the Nova 5T. Face recognition works well via the software too and unlocks the smartphone reliably, although you should keep in mind that this method isn't quite as fail-safe as others and similar-looking people could use it to unlock the smartphone. The Samsung OneUI is modern and good-looking. Discuss: Galaxy A51 review: Samsung beats the iPhone SE in these important ways, first real representative of the Galaxy A family in the US, wonderful and in-depth Galaxy A51 versus iPhone SE camera comparison, one of at least 16 phones coming out in 2020, confirmed plans to make another foldable phone, 48-megapizel (standard), 12-megapixel (wide-angle), 5-megapixel (macro), 5-megapixel (depth sensing), Samsung Exynos 9611 processor (Octa-core), Not disclosed, but Apple claims it has the same battery life as iPhone 8, Water resistant (IP67); dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM); wireless charging, AU$749 (64GB), AU$829 (128GB), AU$999 (256GB). An exemplary mid-range phone. Nonetheless, the Galaxy A51 can take some really nice pictures. The expanded Full-HD resolution is similar and the same for all other comparison devices. Colors appear strong and the black value looks perfect thanks to AMOLED technology. This means that users can use two SIM cards and a microSD card simultaneously. If PWM was detected, an average of 9592 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 142900) Hz was measured. The A51's all-day battery life takes it from morning to night, and it lasted an average of 16 hours, 10 minutes after three looping video tests in airplane mode. In some cases, it was too easy to get an out of focus macro with the A51. Let's get started. It doubles the iPhone SE's on-board storage for the SE's starting price, giving you 128GB out of the gate compared to the SE's 64GB for its cheapest model -- and it supports external storage, too. That's because Apple gave the iPhone SE the same A13 Bionic chipset as its most expensive iPhone 11, so Apple's budget device moves fast. Samsung could have put in a little more work in terms of performance and the battery life can't quite keep up with that of other devices. As the first real representative of the Galaxy A family in the US, the A51 is a convincing effort that proves Samsung can make a good midprice phone that's worth buying. The Galaxy A51's 6.5-inch screen won't wash out in direct sunlight. The Galaxy A51 also stands its ground on the camera front in the typical ways that Samsung phones and iPhones compare: Galaxy photos are more saturated compared to the iPhone's more natural tones. The Google Pixel 3a, for example, manages to transfer a lot more data via Wi-Fi within the same time. The. Camera performance between these two rivals is closer than you might think. You can take advantage of core Samsung software on the Galaxy A51's camera, including night mode, and the phone has settings such as macro and HDR. frequency)Overall 100 - 16.000 Hz(±) | linearity of overall sound is average (22.5% difference to median)Compared to same class» 36% of all tested devices in this class were better, 13% similar, 51% worse» The best had a delta of 13%, average was 24%, worst was 65%Compared to all devices tested» 60% of all tested devices were better, 8% similar, 32% worse» The best had a delta of 3%, average was 21%, worst was 65%, (+) | speakers can play relatively loud (85 dB)Bass 100 - 315 Hz(-) | nearly no bass - on average 25.8% lower than median(±) | linearity of bass is average (9% delta to prev.
