Samsung Galaxy A51 Review - Watch This before You Buy By Kagan

Okay so hi welcome today, I wanted to talk about the Samsung Galaxy a 51. This is a relatively new phone, I mean I, believe it was released in December 2019, which was like two months ago and for the most part this is a really decent phone. I mean I use this phone for just a little over a week. I put it through its paces. Just so I could get what I would call a relatively balanced experience with the device I wanted to know if it was actually worth your money. If you know the phone performs as well has a lot of other people who I've reviewed the devices it does, and there were a lot of things about the device that I didn't like I'm, not going to lie about that.

There were some other things that absolutely surprised me and I absolutely love them. It's sort of a mixed bag, this phone. So it's a lot of great things about the phone, and then it's a lot of other things that are not so great. So in this video I'm going to break down all my thoughts about this device from all the different categories that I could possibly review this phone from as a regular user. I am not somebody who games every on my phone or anything like that, just a regular day-to-day user.

This is my opinion of the Samsung Galaxy, 51, and I hope you enjoyed the video so first things. First, the first thing that you see or that you notice with this device when you pick it up, is the design of the device, and it looks absolutely fantastic. I mean for the most part. Moons are not all that you need in a phone. Yes, we get that, but it's always nice to have a device that actually lyrics premium, looks like something that was made this year, oops relatively futuristic and doesn't look like something that was like from 1998.

So I love the fact that Samsung actually put some thought into the design of this device, and it made it look perfect. The other thing that you notice immediately after actually picking up the device is the beauty and the weight feels in your hand and I think this is probably the department where Samsung left me down a little. Holding the phone felt like a paperweight. It didn't have any weight or F to it, and it just felt very plastic, because, yes, the phone is actually mostly mainly plastic. There is like an aluminum rim around the phone, but for the most part it's a plastic phone and plastic is plastic, and it will feel cheap, no matter how you try to polish it or make it look nice.

It still felt like a cheap phone. Now speaking of the advantages of using plastic for the design of this phone, however, is going to have to be the durability. I mean. Obviously, if you aren't any type of Gorilla Glass the moment you drop the phone you're, probably panicking thinking. Okay, I've definitely broken it, but what plastic is a little more durable and I do have an experience with this one actually dropped, and I worried that it might be broken, but when I picked it up, it was absolutely fine.

I love the fact that Samsung managed to make it featherweight feeling phone extra durable. Now the next thing that you notice again when you pick up the phone and actually turn it on, is the AMOLED screen on this device. So it's a six point. Five-inch screen 1080 by 2400 pixels, and it looks fantastic. It's also Super AMOLED and as far as this please go, Samsung absolutely knocks this out of the park like looking at this device makes you hate any other phone that you have, that has like an LCD screen or anything.

It looks beautiful like you almost want to lick the screen. Every time you have to look at the screen of this device, the Sancho not think that they are going on is actually also not too intrusive. I mean for the most part, it's not too large, it's not too stressful, and it just stays there, and you don't actually have to worry about it. It doesn't, you know, stress you out the body you like the iPhones with a swimming-pool notch or anything like that. The single all points in the center seems relatively fair to me.

It's a nice trade-off. Tropic lean, looking device like this as opposed to having one of those water drop, we're looking notice that a bunch of other budget phones around this price actually have now. As far as performance goes, the phone that I tested I had four gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of internal storage, which is actually relatively decent. The Enos 96 11 chipsets and an outscore CPU, which worked fantastic for the most part. I, don't think the entire time that I had this phone I had any reason to feel like I needed to your know, get another phone or grab another phone know there was any task I threw out it that it didn't handle perfectly the entire experience using this phone for the entire week, plus that I had it was fantastic.

I enjoy clean, like games with it texting YouTube in whatever you want to call it. Netflix I had such a good time using this phone as far as performance goes. There is nothing to worry about with this phone, like it's such a great performer. That I almost don't see any reason why this phone can't be your daily driver like to forget about the fact that it's only three hundred and twenty dollars, it can actually still run as your daily driver now speak a little more about performance. Let's talk about the battery life.

If 4000 Williams per hour battery on this device works fairly. Well, it's not small, and it's not ridiculously large. It performs decently like I, can charge the phone fool before I step out of the house in the morning and by the end of the day, I'll still have around 10 to 12 percent battery, if I'm not using the phone to game all day or anything like that, if I'm simply taking phone calls replying messages texting my friends, twenty news on instagram sparingly throughout the day, I'm doing a bunch of other things as well. The phone holds off with the 4000 Williams per hour. Battery and I was actually quite pleased with the performance as far as the battery life goes now.

The part where this phone begins to, let me down, though, is going to have to be the cameras. It's got four cameras on the back, and it can barely take a decent photo. I mean maybe saying it can take a decent photo is a metal ash, but the fact is: what is the point of the four cameras on this phone when Google picks all the original pixel from 2015 has a better camera than the phone I'm, an automatic shooter when I grab my phone and I want to take a quick photo I'm not trying to fiddle with the exposure dials or try to change anything or use manual, focus or anything like that. I just want to take a photo after the phone process it and have a fantastic photo to just post on social media or sent to my friends or something like that. Furthermore, I, don't want to start worrying about downloading Snap seed, and we know this other weird filtering things that it in my photos to make them do dis, that's an absolute waste of my time and I really wouldn't spend my time doing that so, for the most part, using this phone to take photos did not.

Please me, I mean after a while I started to understand the situations where I shouldn't really use this phone to take photos when it's extremely dark. When I'm indoors like this, when I'm in a situation where there is no sunlight, and it's not super bright, this phone is not the phone to use to take photos, but when you're outside, and it's really sunny and bright and beautiful out- and you take photos with this phone- they look pretty decent, but for the most part, the cameras on the back of this one were Eve's disappointment. For me, I mean if 48 megapixel main shooter, the 12 megapixel ultra-wide sensor. If five megapixel sensor for the depth and another five megapixel sensor for the macro, I'm not even sure why there are so many cameras, but as a whole in automatic mode trying to take a photo, this does not impress me moving to the front-facing camera. It's just as bad I mean 32 megapixels of selfie camera that can barely take a decent, selfie, constantly blurring out parts of your subject when you're trying to take photos in portrait mode- and it just looks wonky at best, like it's really difficult for me- to recommend this phone based on the cameras alone, they're.

Just not that great, like performance wise. This is probably the only part or the main part of the a51 that makes me feel like this is not a decent phone to buy. As far as taking videos go, this phone actually lets, you shoot up the 4k footage at 30fps on the cameras on the back, and you can shoot up to 1080p 30 frames per second on your selfie camera on the back camera. You can also take slow-motion video up to 120 frames per second in 1080p, which I thought was pretty awesome now. The next thing that I like to talk about with this phone is the fingerprint sensor.

It's like an ultrasonic under the screen fingerprint sensor thing and for the most part it works. Fine. The only problem, though, is when you start comparing the speed of this ultrasonic under the screen sensor for the fingerprint to other phones around this price point. This phone comes in last, like it's literally the slowest of the bunch. The CI you mean a 3 is faster.

The 90 is faster, so I don't really understand why this phone has to be so slow performance-wise, it's a really, really fast phone. So how is it so slow to unlock the phone? Now speaking about the bits of the phone that are actually physical? If you're somebody who like to store a lot of media on your phone, you can actually still expand the memory of the phone, as well as using two SIM cards with your phone, which is pretty fantastic for people who live in salwar countries and I have to have different networks running on your phones. You also get a net phone jack I mean that phone jacks are kind of going away now, but I like the fact that Samsung still tries to put this on a lot of the other prices. It's really, really helpful to be able to get high fidelity audio out of your device if you're somebody who still likes using wired, headphones or studio monitoring headphones like I, sometimes do the physical beats of this phone. However, that I absolutely do not like is going to have to be the speakers on the phone they're, just absolutely abysmal.

First, no matter how you want to old your phone, whether Horizontal or vertically, if you're playing games, texting or whatever and there's music playing out of your phone or something the audio is going to get blocked beyond the fact that it's going to get not even if you manage to not block the speakers, they don't sound that great it sounds, really teeny. There is no bass, it's a single bottom firing, mono speaker, and it's just awful, but I. Think for me personally. That's about the extent of how I use my phones when I buy a phone I use the camera. Sometimes I use the phone to play.

A few games like war games and puzzles and chests and stuff I take phone calls I, send messages. I know push the performance at YouTube, beats, try and see how it works with my internet connection and how fast it is if it can actually set up Wi-Fi for my other devices and the house and stuff like that, and for the most part, this phone performed really well, but you see here's the main reason why I have a gripe with this phone, the price it's three hundred and twenty dollars at the time, I'm making this video for that price. There are so many other devices that I could get. That would be it better deals on this phone right now. I mean think about this.

For a second, the Google Pixel 3xl was the Big Brother guru flagship from last year, and I can get it today used like new for two hundred and eighty dollars on Amazon, and it does absolutely everything better than the Samsung Galaxy S II of the quantity. So I can, in my right mind think of a situation where I would go out of my way to take money out of my pocket to actually buy this phone I would always speak the phone. That gives me better value for my money every day of the week. So what exactly does the Samsung Galaxy 51 offer? That makes it a standout phone that you should actually buy for the money? Why is it more expensive than other phones in this price point? Why is it not better by far to justify the 320 dollar price tag? The honest answer is I, don't know at 320 dollars. There is a bunch of other phones that you could buy, but the fact is, though this is a Samsung phone and, if I know anything about Samsung phones, it's that after a while the price drops- and you know it starts to naturalize- to where the price really should have been since launch.

So my prediction is, in the next few months, say three: four or five months: the price of this phone is going to drop to somewhere around $250 or just a little vino, and if that price actually ever gets there, then I can honestly tell you okay, this is a great device to buy, and you can just go out and buy it, but at the current price of three hundred and twenty dollars, this is a difficult phone for me to recommend that does not change the fact that this is actually still a really, really good phone. It's a decent phone. It's just priced wrong. If that makes sense. Thank you so much for watching this video and I guess.
