For the price range the A series in samsung is pretty awesome. Just like the detail and crisp review of the phone. Looking forward to more in depth review of upcoming phones.
I got the 5G version of this a couple of weeks ago. I'm coming from an a50s and got tired of waiting for an "s" version of the a51 and the pixel 4a here in the UK and for what it's worth, I think the 5g version is the "s" version I've been waiting for. The Exynos 980 is a pretty great upgrade from the Exynos 9611.
I'm considering the 5g version myself for the improved processor and extra ram, can you use this soley on the 4g network though? I'm in the uk too and don't have much 5g coverage where I live, thanks.
Will go to buy it Tomorrow,Hopefully I'll find one. It has been stock out(Both offline and online ) here in Bangladesh for about a month now. It costs around 350$ (6/128) here. Great review,Loved it. You got a new subscriber.
Yeah I get that, all this glass is over rated especially when nearly everyone just puts a case on anyway. 🤷🏻♂️.... Oh, and shout out to the good looking pupper in the pics.!😁👍🏻
My A70 came with a horrible fingerprint scanner, I even switched it off. After a few updates it started working flawlessly, now it actually has no issues and works perfectly. The position is on the low side though
I've had this phone for about 4 months now, and I've really liked it. The only problem I've had is its battery. I'm on my phone A LOT but I haven't ever struggled with batter like I have with this one :(
well I don't know about current s series since I was with huawei for a while but I remember my s6 being so much more polished than this 2020 phone, if this is what samsung is like nowadays, I'm just going to steer clear
I have this phone and I like it, but I'm coming from a Note 8. Dropped it twice and got the screen replaced for $29. Next time the back shattered as well. I have ALS so paying a lot of money doesn't make sense. My cover makes the camera bump go away.
I'm having OnePlus 6. It's a great phone but with a poor battery and it's gotten worse in last 2 years. I don't play games but I take pictures a lot and OP6 works very well with GCam. Is A51 a good replacement ?? I'm from India and I don't think we'll be getting 5G in next 2 years 😅
Check out my Sennheiser PXC-550 ii review! They are my everyday ANC headphones, but they are a bit more expensive. If you are on a budget, Check out my budget headphones comparison from last fall. I believe 2 of those had ANC and were much cheaper (but of course the quality was much lower)
This is a great review! I'm considering this as an upgrade from my Samsung s8 but please could you tell me is it slow to open the camera app and is it slow to focus? I take a lot of pictures of my kids so need something that isn't laggy so I don't miss shots. Also would be great to see a comparison with the a71 as wondering if there is much of a speed difference between them as also considering that phone, thanks.
I am going to buy mobile...I want premium look and decent processor for daily usage like what's app you tube movies seeing and video song for this and iam not Gamer..I don't play games for me this phone suits me can I buy this mobile?
Well you can't compare this to the iPhone SE just as you can't compare a 3 pot engine to a v6. If only Samsung would stick in one of their old flagship processors , I'd think of buying their budget phones.
I own this phone and its not what ANY of these specs say. Its trash. Camera? Sucks. Its grainy, fuzzy, the auto focus sucks and makes even dark objects look to bright. Front facing camera? Looks like a 1 mega pixel camera. It sucks. Screen quality? Sucks. It has terrible bleed in issues and scratches waaay to easy. The plastic back sucks as well Storage? TRASH. 4GB of ram vanishes like money leaving your wallet. It uses ram for apps that are meaningless and using the optimize option does nothing cause it opens all of the apps again after using it and the ram space you freed up gets used right back up again. So it runs very slow and lags a lot. Only good thing about this phone is the battery. Thats all that's even good about this phone. Conclusion? Don't buy it. Do yourself a favor and spend your money on something that actually is worth it. Get a galaxy note 9. You can get it for the same price as this piece of garbage and you get flagship quality. Period. Your welcome
@@maneki9995 pretty much. I mean I sadly still own this phone and the experience just wasn't what I had hoped for. If I would've known it wasn't that great I would've just gotten Galaxy S9 or something.
I assume both of you are used to using Flagship phones, am I correct? Sure sounds like it. If you're not used to midrange devices, don't buy one expecting flagship performance. Because you're not going to get it. This phone is awesome AS A MIDRANGER. People that attempt to compare it to a flagship are ignorant for doing so.
For the price range the A series in samsung is pretty awesome. Just like the detail and crisp review of the phone. Looking forward to more in depth review of upcoming phones.
Yeah the value of the A series is hard to argue with!
For the price..this is incredible
Yeah if you don't need NFC, you can get the international/latin america model for $260-ish. Such a great deal!

I prefer plastic build than glass
Interesting. I didn't realize how many people preferred plastic
Yeah I get that, all this glass is over rated especially when nearly everyone just puts a case on anyway. 🤷🏻♂️.... Oh, and shout out to the good looking pupper in the pics.!😁👍🏻
Same. Love plastic too for as long as the OEM nails its implementation and Samsung's 'glasstic' is just perfect. 👍🏻
In 7 months time it will fail regardless of your treatment of it, because preordained. It's a samsung lol.
Same
I think this more technical than your reviews typically are but it's really important to know at this point if the phone is running a 64-bit OS.
True! I typically avoid such technical details, but I should probably at least have included that in the description
My A70 came with a horrible fingerprint scanner, I even switched it off. After a few updates it started working flawlessly, now it actually has no issues and works perfectly. The position is on the low side though
Yes, Samsung figured out that this was too low on the S10 and fixed the location on the S20, but not on these for some reason
I've had this phone for about 4 months now, and I've really liked it. The only problem I've had is its battery. I'm on my phone A LOT but I haven't ever struggled with batter like I have with this one :(
To slow down your battery you can lower the brightness and dont get a animated wallpaper
Looks really gorgeous!I will always support you!
Best phone. Using this from 1 month. Its basically s series experience in budget
Well said. It is a bit slower and less flagship-like of course, but otherwise a strikingly similar experience
how's the cam quality of snapchat on this phone?
well I don't know about current s series since I was with huawei for a while but I remember my s6 being so much more polished than this 2020 phone, if this is what samsung is like nowadays, I'm just going to steer clear
@@adeelk34 cameras aren't great, I don't use snapchat but it will probably be worse
Never use snapchat's cameras, guys. You will get clowned
The cameras are high megapixels but Samsung uses pixel binning so it divides by 4 giving it less.
True, the pixel binning saves storage on your phone but you can also change the settings such that you are actually taking a 48MP photo
gonna upgrade to this from my Galaxy A30s.
Nice! Enjoy your new phone!
A good pixel 3a competitor?
Certainly a competitor. The screen is superior and the cameras have better numbers, but the Pixel image processing is hard to beat.
Great video Mark. One question. Do you think is worth the change from Note 10 Plus to S20 Pkus. Regards from Nicaragua!!!
I'll wait for the note
I'm with Daniel on this one. If you are a Note user, you are going to miss the S Pen. I would wait for the Note20!
GREAT price and MIGHT buy, due to your review and cuz it's a Samsung! -San Francisco fan girl
Nice! I hope you enjoy your new phone if you decide to get it!

Hey Mike
R u going to look at the samsung M series??
Hey can you suggest a good anc headphone. By the way love your videos

The camera app is great but it isn't as fast as my Notes before. Nice items with the phone.
You can do a multi frame and probably get your shot
@@DougClough I didn't know about that feature thank you!
Google pixel 3a or Samsung A51?
I am considering this being my next phone. currently rocking the google pixel 1 and using it to make my youtube videos
Nice! The original Pixel! This might be a nice upgrade
@@MikeOBrienMedia yeah im considering it, only thing that is bothering me is the fingerprint scanner
I'm still using my s7, im planning to replace it with this a51. Do you think it's a good upgrade from s7 or not?
I too upgraded from the s7, and I am disappointed. Its feels like I bought a cheap Motorola.
no way, I had an S6 a few years ago and everything about it was better than my A51
I just got my galaxy a51 last week . Great phone .
Nice! Enjoy your new phone!
I am going to buy mobile...I want premium look and decent processor for daily usage like what's app you tube movies seeing and video song for this and iam not Gamer..I don't play games for me this phone suits me can I buy this mobile?
Pls reply me
@@dharunraj1194 I have the 8/128gb A51 and it's a good phone. One UI brings a lot of features for this midrange phone so it's worth it.
@@mr.j5112 lol true iam loving good lock,theme park and one hànd operation 🥰🥰🥰
Ordered this yesterday 😊
Do they already have the 5G version?
Yup for around £420
I think there is snapdrahon version of a51
Is that a blue cattle dog?
And could you please please please please please do a samsung Galaxy a80 review
I have quite a few videos in the pipeline, but I will see if I can fit the A80 in!
@@MikeOBrienMedia I really hope you will do it, your reviews are pretty good
Such a complete phone but I'm deciding between A51 and M31
Hmm certainly an interesting decision to make
Go for A51. M series has less features when compared with A series. With A series you get that premium feel like s series and a series
5th comment,anyways excellent video Mike keep up the good work
Thanks!
@@MikeOBrienMedia Thanks for watching!
Why does he not have a case holding a really nice phone with one hand
Because he's reviewing the device itself not a phone case....
Amazing phone......I'm planning on buying it
Think I'll stick with my A8 2018 for now
I have A6+ from 2018. And i'll stick with it for another year too probably... since it still works really well.
Plz do a recap on the a71 😃 , love ur vids by the wayy
When you say recap, do you mean a comparison between these two? I could do that! If you meant a review of the A71, I actually already did that!
@@MikeOBrienMedia yes please
Plz do a comparison between the two to see which one is still holding up and has not slowed down yet
Very gud phone. I'm planning to buy one.
Nice! Enjoy your new phone!
@@MikeOBrienMedia yes, ofcourse.🙂
Now its 26k bro. Should have bought it a little earlier. Been using the phone from 1 month and 8 days. No problems 😊
Well you can't compare this to the iPhone SE just as you can't compare a 3 pot engine to a v6. If only Samsung would stick in one of their old flagship processors , I'd think of buying their budget phones.
If this at least had a Snapdragon 730, I think the battery could last longer, and the phone would be much snappier
This phone cost 280e in my country dont know why it is 400$ in us, you can buy A71 for 400$ or you can get s10 lite.
Glass vs Plastic, doesn't really matter to me, I always use case.
Honestly, I almost always use a case too. Don't want to risk it
Drop a plastic back phone and glass back phone and lets see which gonna break first!
Watching in my NEW A51 (PINK)
I love it. 💙
:)
Doesn't work for me, it's still a samsung.

Hi bro, love the vids... I'm still stuck with the Galaxy s6... Maybe a throwback vid???🤔😉
Still Rocking Samsung S6 edge!! Still holds up with upper middle class smartphones
Hahaha I thought about doing a throwback vid! I was thinking more like an S7 throwback, but maybe the 6 just for fun
Haha I was on Note 5, almost 5 years old lol. Jumped to Galaxy S10 last 2 weeks. Got great deal. Oh my what a huge upgrade :D
@@obidean3964 Definitely it is!
@@MikeOBrienMedia Sure Mike! We look forward to throwback videos!
i have samsung A51
