Samsung galaxy a51 review in Spanish (complete analysis)

Samsung is a brand that many of you have probably had a product at some time, be it mobiles, televisions or monitors. The Samsung Galaxy A51 is a mid- range smartphone model that tries to bring us everything we may need on a daily basis for a tight budget. Let's see it!

Technical characteristics Samsung Galaxy A51

Unboxing of Samsung Galaxy A51

The packaging of the Samsung Galaxy A51 is presented in a matte white box. Already on its cover we have a double front and rear view of the smartphone with the code of its model superimposed in white. The Samsung logo is located in the upper left corner and the overall packaging offers a clean presentation that follows the concept of less is more.

It is on the sides of the box where we find again the model data, as well as a sticker with its serial number and data on the manufacturer accompanied by other quality certificates.

The contents of the box are summarized in:

• Samsung Galaxy A51 USB A / C connection cable Charger In- ear earphones Samsung Documentation and warranty

Samsung Galaxy A51 design

We are facing a smartphone model that presents color variations within its range, being able to choose between black, white, blue and silver. In our case, the model that we bring you to analyze is blue, which in fact seems to us the most distinctive of its range due to the vibrant color.

Finishes

The material of the back cover is plastic, something that surprises all of us who are used to mobile models in which aluminum or full glass coating are the materials chosen for this area. Choosing plastic on the one hand reduces weight, but also makes the surface more susceptible to discoloration over time.

For many these are issues of little or no relevance given that the person who does not use their mobile phone with some type of casing is rare, but we have also wanted to point it out. What we do know for sure is that thanks to this choice, the budget required for exterior finishes is less and thus helps the final price of the product to be lower.

The finish of this back plastic is shiny. Visually, even without touching it, it appears to be a glass rear cover, an effect that is reinforced by the iridescent reflection that it generates when it is hit by direct light. Our perception is that some type of resin has been used for this, although we cannot confirm it with total certainty.

On the entire surface we can see three areas with color variations. In the upper area we find two shades of turquoise separated diagonally, while at its base there is a fine pattern with stripes that describes a diagonal in the opposite direction.

This turquoise shade extends along the sides of the Samsung Galaxy A51, for which a piece of plastic is also chosen in a slightly darker shade of blue and metallic effect. This is where this cost reduction is repeated again without sacrificing the aesthetic aspect.

The advantage of this smartphone and what makes it stand out in the mid-range is that it has tried to replicate high-end finishes with less expensive materials, thus achieving a striking model that requires low production costs.

Regarding the sides, on the left we find the insertion slot for the SIM card while on the right are the buttons for volume adjustment and on and off.

In fact, for the busiest people, the Samsung Galaxy A51 has a dual SIM slot, allowing you to insert two different numbers in a single device and within a single tab.

screen

Moving on to comment on the screen, this is a Super Amoled Full HD model with tempered glass and curved finishes. Its total area covers 6.5 ″, leaving 6.3 inches as the active screen. The rest of the glass is smoked, offering a darker finish than the rest.

Broadly speaking, we can consider the Samsung Galaxy A1 a slim and light smartphone, with dimensions of 158.5 x 73.6 x 7.9 mm and only 172 grams. The front camera is integrated into the screen and it is on the lower edge where we can see the speakers and microphone input.

Front and rear camera

The front camera has 32 MP capacity and consists of a small point integrated in the upper center of the glass that is totally isolated inside the touch screen.

It is on the back where the party begins and it is that we have nothing more or nothing less than four cameras with different megapixels and functions:

• A 48MP main camera for crisp, clear photos both day and night. A 123 ° and 12MP ultra-wide angle. Choose the upgraded 5MP macro camera for incredible close-ups. Multiple 5MP depth camera Live Focus effects..

The set comes accompanied by a white LED flash / flashlight and all this is integrated into a piece of black glass with oval edges. We will extend with its different qualities and resolutions in the subcategory of Commissioning.

Ports and connections

Regarding connectivity, we can make a distinction between analog and wired. In the first category we have a dual 3.5 jack for headphones and microphone and a USB type C to connect the charger or data transfer cable. Wirelessly we have a much broader connectivity among which we highlight:

• 2G, 3G and 4G NFC Network Connection Bluetooth 5.0 Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac 2.4G + 5GHz, VHT80

Samsung Galaxy A51 internal hardware

In this section we enter to discuss questions regarding the internal components of the Samsung Galaxy A51. Initially, we have an Exynos 9611 processor, a mid-range model that works with 10-nanometer technology and eight cores subdivided into two groups at 2.3 GHz and 1.7 GHz respectively. It is accompanied by a Mali-G72 GPU and we have 4GB of RAM and 128GB expandable up to 512. All this moves an Android 10 operating system.

About the battery, we find that it is a 4000 mAh model and that it has a fast charge of 15W. We have also obtained information about the sensors with which the Samsung Galaxy A51 arrives equipped, among which we can highlight:

• Accelerometer Fingerprint Sensor Geomagnetic Gyroscope Hall Virtual Luminosity Proximity Sensing

Putting Samsung Galaxy A51 into use

The Samsung Galaxy A51 is a mid-range smartphone that is prepared for the day to day of an average user who carries out daily activities such as managing emails, taking casual photos, playing streaming video, surfing the Internet, etc.

As such it has all the physical qualities that we could expect within its price range. Aesthetically it is a phone with good finishes and in which we can notice that the maximum width allows us to hold it in one hand with comfort. The integration of the camera as an isolated point within the screen makes it conserve the same margin in the limits of the glass in all directions, which gives us a fuller impression of the area with which we can interact.

About its handling, the touch sensor is correct and we have not had any special surprises. Navigation within the Samsung Galaxy A51 itself is streamlined without ever getting stuck with charging moments. Commenting on the sound of the speakers and the quality of the microphone, here you can expect the usual. The lowest sounds will lack depth for expert ears and in general it is the mids and highs that take on the most prominence, although we can say that we have not perceived a “cracked” audio with the level at maximum. The microphone on the other hand is also correct, it has nothing remarkable but also no negative aspect that we should mention.

Screen qualities

The screen offers an excellent pixel density (406 per inch) regarding its resolution (1080 x 2400px). Counting that it is a Super Amoled panel, the 16 million colors are assured and the general contrast is very vivid. A fairly high maximum brightness contributes to this and that the perception we have had of the saturation of the images is also a little high.

During use at maximum brightness in direct daylight environments the display has correct readability, we also have low angle distortion, so that even though the display obliquely loses color intensity it allows an acceptable view of the content.

Integrated camera, microphones and speakers

The camera is the key factor for many users, and is that apart from higher resolutions the addition of lenses and more advanced software allows us to take photographs with increasing quality. Here we are going to see qualities of both photography and video, thus covering everything that the Samsung Galaxy A51 can offer us in this regard.

In the default camera we find the categories of Photography, Video and More. It is in the latter where we find more advanced options to choose from: Fast, Slow and Super Slow Motion, Night Mode, Food, Macro and Panoramic. With Photography, Panoramic and Night we can activate the Wide Angle option, something that makes our photos cover an expanded field of view.

Regarding the zoom, it reaches a maximum magnification of x8. the sharpness that we obtain from the objects is quite good, although if we look at it, it is clear that the system makes contrast adjustments when we set it to the maximum since, although the elements conserve their volumes, the image gives us a Photoshop filter feeling to emphasize the edges, like a sketch. The latter is noticeable in the third of the images in the previous gallery, where we zoom in on a trio of seedlings.

Our overall perception of color and contrast in bright conditions has been quite good. This is of course keeping in mind the price range within which we move and the limitations of the Samsung Galaxy A51 camera, but broadly speaking it does a good job of being mid-range.

On the front camera, in it we do not have a portrait mode or beauty filters, although something makes us intuit that the facial recognition detector does some tricks since in general our skin tone and pores tend to look dull and show few imperfections. Without a doubt, the most conceited may miss a customization of features that does occur in models with more advanced software, although we must say that we can always download an alternative program to fill this gap.

Personally we have not missed it either and the photographs have seemed good, although with slightly high saturation. We assume that it may be some small adjustment to offer a pinker skin, but we can always adjust it by editing filters later. It is also noteworthy that the front camera does not have autofocus.

In Night Mode we have the possibility of using the wide angle, but the software incorporated in Samsung Galaxy A51 does not support zoom in this mode. Here we must say that the difference between normal photography and night mode has not been particularly significant, although it is true that the most distant light sources receive an emphasis as well as their most direct environment and there is a slightly more contrasting red tone. high.

Those with a sweet tooth will find in the Food filter a real vein with which to petarlo on Instagram. Here the camera makes use of the Macro mode and requires a certain closeness to optimize the results, but we already tell you that it covered in this section. It should be noted however that it is raised for detail shots and the dynamic focus of the area makes the immediate environment blur, so it is not compatible with Wide Angle. We have noticed a slight increase in saturation and contrast that certainly enriches the perception of food and allows us to obtain planes that are authentic Trending Topics .

Commenting on the video before finishing, here you will find that the maximum resolution we can obtain is UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) at 30fps. This recording mode does not support wide angle, so we must download it to Full HD format. On the super slow camera, its maximum performance is 240 frames per second at 1080p, although alternatively we can decrease the amount of fps to increase the resolution. The recording formats supported by the Samsung Galaxy A51 are:

• Video playback formats: MP4, M4V, 3GP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, AVI, FLV, MKV, WEBM Audio playback formats: MP3, M4A, 3GA, AAC, OGG, OGA, WAV, WMA, AMR, AWB, FLAC, MID, MIDI, XMF, MXMF, IMY, RTTTL, RTX, OTA

Autonomy and connectivity

With a 4000 mAh battery, on average we can count on our Samsung Galaxy A51 for a day and a half with topical use of it. Some music, video, navigation and social networks. Its autonomy as in everything depends a lot on the time of use in which it is used.

In general we must say that with data consumption in 4G network it is undoubtedly the most consuming modality, with a total of 15 accumulated hours. This is closely followed by the internet and video viewing, but roughly these are not alarming numbers. With intense use, 4000 mAh give for a very long day and you will not find yourself at nightfall with less than 20%. It is convenient to keep in mind that the energy saving mode and a low screen brightness will promote greater autonomy, but this is nothing we do not find in competitive smartphones.

On the capacity of Wi-Fi 802.11 2.4G + 5GHz, it is able to get the most out of our network without complications, obtaining numbers very close to the contracted speed (in our case, 300 megabytes).

Samsung Galaxy A51 performance tests

Performance tests are that litmus test that allows us to compare the behavior of the CPU and GPU of the latest mobiles on the market. In the tables that you will see below you will find a Top 3 with the best models on the market and from there high and medium range. The programs we have used are:

• AnTuTu BenchMark GeekBench 5 (multi core) GeekBench 5 (single core) 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme (Open GL ES)

With Antutu we have bugged the reading and writing of RAM, 2D and 3D graphics. Its results are mainly of interest to gamers fond of mobile games, although we must say that its results fit quite well within mid-range models and despite the fact that it gets a bit stuck with large consumption of resources in general, there is no game that cannot run. at.

The performance of the full processor and thread by thread is also fine, but it is within the expected range. In the lower-middle range, attention tends to be more devoted to issues such as the screen or the camera, leaving the components of the phone more in the background. Also we will not find any limitation with the Samsung Galaxy A51 in day-to-day activities.

The answer for demanding gaming is clear: this mobile is not designed for that. Of course, common games will go smoothly, but if what you bet on is online multiplayer with formats like Fortnite Movile, you may want to look for something with a better response and refresh rate on the screen. We must also remind you that the mobile market is characterized by presenting games that can work without problems in a toaster, but if the smartphone you are looking for is mainly to play the Samsung Galaxy A51 it is not a candidate for first choice.

Final words and conclusions about Samsung Galaxy A51

Our impression of the Samsung Galaxy A51 has been generally good. It is a correct smartphone that tries to put on the table all the necessary resources for an ordinary citizen. Undoubtedly the most outstanding aspect of it is its design, which tries to integrate finishes with a more budget-friendly appearance than actually invested. This allows the brand to focus its attention on other types of issues, such as the battery, the sound or the screen, since as we all well know in the end we will end up putting a case or tempered glass sooner or later.

Aspects that we liked is to start with the size, which without exceeding the width allows us a comfortable hold in which our thumb reaches the opposite corner of the screen without problems and is something that users of medium to small hands will appreciate. The quality of the AMOLED panel itself is up to the task, with a slightly high contrast that supports the work of color saturation in providing vivid and slightly warm colors.

We recommend reading: The best mid-range smartphones.

On the other hand, the cameras are adequate, offering a good number of options in both photography and video. The results obtained with them seem adequate, highlighting the Food and Macro Mode, but otherwise we have missed a portrait mode in the software with some additional option for filters. Without a doubt the Night Mode is the one that finds more difficulty when it comes to providing sharp photographs and although it solves these issues with ease we can notice that it falls a little short if we compare it with the results obtained by cameras of a somewhat larger range.

If what you are looking for is a day-to-day phone in which you prioritize battery performance and a good screen, the Samsung Galaxy A51 is undoubtedly a good option. It may fall a bit short in the gaming world but it has everything necessary to solve any need of the average user. This smartphone can be purchased on the Samsung Official Website for € 369.00. We sincerely believe that the ideal price for the model should be slightly lower, but fortunately there are several portals where you can explore the possibility of finding it on a reduced budget.
