Attractive Features Of $400 Samsung Galaxy A51 Android Phone

HT News

The battle for capturing sub-$500 phone market between Samsung and Apple has just begun. Samsung has just launched the all new Samsung Galaxy A51 at a cost of $400 and this phone looks irresistible.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy A51 isn’t like other budget phones as it sports a massive 6.5” bright and clear screen. Also, the screen has a built-in fingerprint sensor in the display.

Camera

The phone carries a quad-camera setup on the rear. The main camera is a 48-megapixel shooter; there is a ultra-wide-angle camera; a micro camera and a depth sensing camera. Also, it has excellent photo stabilization. The main sensor is capable of digitalize stabilizing pictures and videos.

Processor

The Samsung Galaxy A51 is powered by a quad-core Samsung processor. Here some people could argue that the processor isn’t one from the powerful Snapdragon processors but they should know that it is a budget phone. But the Samsung processor isn’t a cheap piece.

Sacrifices

The phone lacks wireless charging that is available on many phones of this segment. But the excellent thing is that it supports charging via USB-C port. The phone gives a great feeling when touched by its plastic back somehow degrades its look and feel.

With Galaxy A51, Samsung has stepped up the price war with Apple that is its biggest competitor. The new Samsung Galaxy A 51 is a great phone but with a slower processor. But you will certainly appreciate its camera department and photo features like image stabilization.
