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

This is a great phone at a reasonable price. It looks new and was sealed and contained the headphones, charger cable and official charger and the mobile phone. The screen quality is good as new. the connectivity is good with with wifi and mobile data and seems to be durable so far and a good replacement of a previous mobile of the same make that I had before and it has the features that you need in a smart phone.

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!

Purchased direct from Amazon, not 3rd party, for £235. Good value at that price. Replacing an A5 which was becoming too slow to be usable (built-in obsolescence?), A51 seems fine. Allowed it to update to Android 11. Samsung Smart Switch makes setting it up easy. Only drawback so far is the new optical thumbprint reader, which is pretty rubbish: even recording a fingerprint is difficult, it'll keep complaining that you're not covering the whole sensor, and my fingertips aren't small. Once recorded, fingerprint unlocking is hit-and miss at best. Add a screen protector and forget it completely; some people recommend re-recording the fingerprints once the screen protector is fitted but it's even worse. If you're happy with pattern, pin or face unlock, you'll be fine. But it's a step back from the A5, which had none of these problems (maybe it just wasn't very secure?).

The reason I got this phone instead of the old A5 is because of the glass back, this phone just feels great to hold! I use to own an iPhone 4 and I loved the feeling of holding a phone with glass on both sides. This A5 2016 is looks like the love child of an iPhone 4 with an iPhone 6, Samsung have really stepped up their design. I imported mine from Europe for use in UK, came with a Euro plug and an adapter which the supplier included. Main Pros for me are: - Looks and feel great, especially without a case - Large screen with high res and great quality - Great battery life (Probably one of the best for all round use, and has fast charging) - Good value for quality of phone, and would expect price to drop significantly after release - Supports SD card for lots of memory Cons: - Quite slippery, so need to be careful if not using a case - Mid range processor, which can be considered a compromise for battery life. It's pretty much the perfect phone I've been looking for over the last 5 years, and is finally here for a decent price. Don't need the "optional gimmicks" the top range phones comes with, does the most important things a mobile phone should do really well.

2026 update: I've had this phone for 5yrs, daily use and it's still going strong. On battery saver it lasts 2-3 days. Biometrics are sound. Love it! Excellent phone. Looks slick and feels premium. Great battery life, fast charging (1.5hrs), clean display, lots of storage, top camera - even free headphones. I consciously avoided the flagship Samsung 'S' series - my work phone is an s8 and the curved screen is v frustrating (too many mis-touches), fingerprint reader is pants and the phone way too slippery to hold. The A51 is larger but ironically much more comfortable to hold. Also proper headphone jack - not all of us are interested in wireless buds. In all much better phone than the s10 and tonnes better value than the s20 for almost the same spec. Only niggle is the two stage phone start-up protocol which I guess is a security feature but feels a bit overboard.

Gute Verarbeitung, alles funktioniert!

Acquistato per mio figlio, che ne è molto contento. Il display, molto grande, è davvero IL valore aggiunto di questo apparato. Le prestazioni sono adeguate al prezzo, non ci si può lamentare. Invece, il riconoscimento facciale e soprattutto il lettore di impronte digitali sono un pò "duri d'orecchie" e non di rado falliscono il riconoscimento: fortunatamente poi tutto si risolve, sempre, ma per chi ha usato FaceID o TouchID di Apple... beh... non si può nemmeno paragonarli

Sono molto soddisfatto di questo acquisto. Il telefonino ha un bel display con un touch molto sensibile. Il processore e la ram permettono di passare tra una applicazione e l'altra senza fatica, nonostante siano caricati Antivirus Norton e molti widget. Il browser carica molto velocemente le pagine. La carica della batteria è molto lunga, nonostante la rete accesa sempre, dura circa un giorno e mezzo.

Ich wollte vom Lumia 640 DS auf ein Android-Handy umsteigen Grund: einige Apps (und Spiele) gibts nur für Android, nicht für Windows Phone (schade!) Meine Kriterien: - Preis 200 bis 300 Euro - mind. 2 GB RAM und 16 GB Arbeitsspeicher, Speicher erweiterbar - 5 Zoll Display mit 1920x1080 Auflösung, mind. 10-13 Megapixel-Kamera - Samsung, Huawei, Honor (da bisher nur gute Erfahrung damit gemacht) Es kamen einige in die sehr enge Auswahl - u.a. auch Top Modelle die von der Leistung her noch besser sind aber nicht in Deutschland zu kaufen sind sondern nur über China-Shops - das war dann bei einem evtl. Schaden oder Problem einfach ein Ausschlusskriterium! Für mich positiv: - da ich bereits Android-Erfahrung der Handys meiner Kinder und meiner Frau habe, konnte ich mich sofort ins Handy "reinfühlen" - trotz Android 6 (anstatt 5.1 oder 4.4 der anderen Handys) - ich finde alles intuitiv und super geschickt gelöst! - der größere RAM und Prozessor (gegenüber meinem Lumia mit 1 GB) macht sind sofort bemerkbar besser - Spiele starten schneller und können problemlos gleichzeitig geöffnet beleiben. - es liegt super in der Hand, fühlt sich sehr edel an - Verarbeitung ist TOP - kleiner Nachteil: mit dem "Daumenmuskel/-ballen" komme ich beim Einhand-Tippen öfter mal an die untere rechte Display-Stelle, so dass es dort zu Touch-Kontakten kommt - liegt wohl aber eher an meinen Pratzen! - Akku hält bei mir 2-3 Tage: ich habs jeden Tag 16 Stunden auf Standby an - schalte aber aus Gewohnheit WLAN, GPS aus und auf Stromsparmodus (ich bin noch nicht mit dem Handy verwachsen und davon abhängig :) :) - Schnellladefunktion: tatsächlich in weniger als 1 Stunde wieder voll aufgeladen. Bis jetzt: Super Handy, habs nicht bereut. Etwas seltsam: da ich über Amazon kaufen wollte (ja, ich hab bisher nur positive Erfahrungen gemacht), fand ich es aber schon etwas komisch dass der Preis hier täglich mehrmals sogar bis zu 15 Euro schwankt!

Works great! Have had it for close to a month now and everything works great! If you want a product that's premium enough and has all the bells and whistles of the latest smart phones at an affordable price, definitely get this product. Would recommend it to anybody whose looking for an upgrade!
