Samsung Galaxy A51 Mobile Phone; Sim Free Smartphone - Prism Crush Black, (UK Version) – United Kingdom

This phone is a replacement for an old and trusted Motorola. As I didn't want to buy Chinese I chose a Samsung phone....made in Vietnam, not South Korea as I expected! The fingerprint reader works but is slow compared with my Motorola. I may try face recognition instead. Battery life for my type of usage is fine, well over a day. I don't play games though.The camera system takes getting used to....all those lenses! Macro is really good, but regular snaps are hardly spectacular. I've yet to try low-light and night shots. I must work at it.Transferring apps and data wirelessly worked fine.Screen size and clarity is good. I've tweaked the keyboard to help ease typing...I'm a senior!Basically I like it!It's now May 2021. I've got used to the phone but still find the fingerprint recognition poor, also face recognition. I often have to enter my password as a last resort. Most frustrating. There was a software update a few months ago which I hoped might sort the issue, but no.The camera does work well now I've had chance to experiment. Sound and video quality are fine for me. WhatsApp calls are great fun. My wife and I enjoy catching up with family events. We are able to cast picture and sound to our TV via a Roku stick.The phone screen is very easy to keep clean, is super-sensitive and, so far, resistant to scratches. I have no extra screen protection applied but have bought a rather ugly but very tough case which, so far, has kept the phone free from dings or nicks.All in all, I'm very pleased with the phone and recommend it as good value for money.

This was a notable and affordable upgrade for me from my Samsung J3 (which was constantly giving memory full warnings and not saving things to the SD card). The A51 is a very fast, responsive and great phone to use. Moving stuff from my old phone to the A51 was relatively straight forward with the Smart Switch app.I've found the significantly extra inbuilt storage of the A51 to be great, though once I'd transferred the 16gb of the J3 data across the A51 had already used nearly 40gb of storage; this must have been due to the in built stuff and functionality of the A51. Thankfully the mico SD card slot works well and I've been able to load the music from my computer to the SD card on the phone via a usb cable.The A51 is very quick in loading apps and data and whilst it is a new concept for me I really like the biometrics finger scan. This makes it a lot easier to unlock the phone and log in to password secure apps without having to constantly type in or remember passwords.From a personal preference point of view, the phone is a little bigger than what I'm used to or comfortable with. It has already fallen out of my pocket. This was a compromise I knew I was making since I saw the dimensions of the phone on Amazon before I bought. However when it comes to the extra storage space, memory power and price point this was by far the best value Samsung phone for my needs. I am currently a very happy owner of a Galaxy A51!

As a phone, the A51 is good value for money, For its price, you get a high-quality camera with various modes, a fast system that can load apps in a short amount of time, and a sleek design that feels natural in your hand. The A51 also has a battery life which can easily last me the whole day without the need for a full charge and with 128GB capacity, I will never need to worry about storage again

I bought this phone as I need the dual SIM facility and 128GB internal storage. The screen is very good and over the period I have had it it has received regular software updates. As I have a very large number of apps, the 128GB storage is coping very well. That together with my additional fitted 400GB micoSD card means I have all the storage I need.I am thinking about purchasing an additional phone as a backup as well as offering me 5G network. However, to my disappointment it seems that Samsung is abandoning the full dual SIM facility in many of its new models. Instead they are Hybrid-SIM which, unlike my present A51, only caters for either two SIM cards inserted, or one SIM card and one microSD. Please Samsung, go back to full dual SIM and not this useless Hybrid-SIM on your new models.

So I bought this for my granddaughter on the 22nd today's the 24th. Everything was fine at first and then this evening it froze up and wouldn't scroll , after a bit of research online it seems that the problem was that needed updating. So if you get one of these phones it may have been sitting around in stores for quite a while and missed some of the updates anyway when we gave it a major update system update it then started to function perfectly. So watch this space.It would be pretty sad to have to return it and she would have been upset her well she's only 14. At the moment alls well . PE

I previously had a Samsung J6 phone which I was found was rather slow as it got older and I needed more memory so after doing some research and reading the reviews I decided this one was a good choice. I wasn’t disappointed. Everything downloads much faster, the fingerprint reader is on the front (it was on the back on the J6) home screen so it’s so much easier to manage and I have lots of memory. I transferred the majority of my apps from my old phone to this one which made life easier. Great value for money as well.
