Design and Build: The People's Phone
The Galaxy A51 was the best-selling Android phone globally in 2020 — and for good reason. It offered a stunning Super AMOLED display, versatile quad-camera system, and Samsung's refined One UI at a price that appealed to millions. The Infinity-O display with a hole-punch camera gave it a flagship-inspired look.
The back panel featured a distinctive L-shaped camera housing (a design choice that became an A-series hallmark), and the prism-patterned back caught the light beautifully. At 187g, it felt substantial without being heavy.
Key Features Under the Hood
The Galaxy A51 was powered by an Exynos 9611 processor with 4GB or 6GB of RAM.
Here is a quick look at the standout specs:
- Display: 6.5-inch Super AMOLED, FHD+. The Infinity-O display offered an immersive viewing experience with vibrant colours and deep blacks.
- Camera: 48MP main + 12MP ultra-wide + 5MP macro + 5MP depth. The quad-camera setup offered exceptional versatility, including dedicated macro photography.
- Battery: 4,000mAh with 15W fast charging. Reliable battery life for a full day of use.
- In-Display Fingerprint: Optical under-display sensor.
- Storage: 64GB/128GB, expandable via microSD.
