    Great phone, really well priced for an unlocked Samsung. I had no issue getting it connected with my cell service provider. Love the size and all the new features, especially the extra camera lens. It takes amazing pictures!! I highly recommend this phone to anyone that loves Androids.

    For the price the storage and quality are top notch. I've downloaded more than twice the als than my previous phone and still have a ton of space left. I don't like all the buttons on the right side if the phone as I am not used to it. Also, has Bixby like the way more expensive galaxy phones. Very pleased.

    Couldn't be more pleased! This is a quality phone, with a bigger screen size (that I really needed) of outstanding resolution. The camera is way better than I expected too. Wished I'd bought it sooner, but catching it on sale was a nice bonus indeed. The BB tech / salesperson was outstanding; a good listener and very qualified in all manners of specs and details. Thanks much!

    Bought this for my wife. She finds technology confusing but loves the camera. Its high-tech enough to where I didn't feel like I was buying something ancient but simple enough for her to understand.

    Phone is fast and has a decent camera. Not great but decent. Love the screen and like the Android 10. A 51 is a great option to the S series phones. Screen size is very nice. I have an A71 for work and I am glad to get the A51 for my personal phone as it is a nice size.

    Good phone for the money. Made in Vietnam, not ccp occupied territory. Battery lasts for 2+ days easy with light usage. Works on Tello (Sprint MVNO). Kindly ask for a Sprint sim when you get this if you want to use it on Tello. My Best Buy associate gave me one when I asked.

    Great phone & a reasonable price especially for being an unlocked phone. I recommend this phone if you like samsung galaxy series. Easy to use. Only thing I would suggest is having a better or upgraded task manager/optimizer. My Samsung Note 2 had an amazing task manager that helped manage and kill apps to save battery life & optimize the phone

    I dropped my Galaxy S20 plus in the lake so I refused to buy another premium phone, I settled on this. I like the price of this phone and while it is a lot more sluggish that the more premium phones but it is worth it for the price alone.

    Actually purchased this phone just to play Pokémon Go. I already had a Samsung Note 9 and love it. This new phone is VERY similar to the note 9. Very thin and sleek. Fast for game play and large amount of storage. I would buy this phone for an extra or even my regular phone.

    Purchased by my 19 year old son because his Galaxy S7 finally died. Being a poor college student he didn't want to spend $800+ on a phone, so decided to go with this, and has had no complaints so far.

    This phone is awesome. I can't believe people pay thousands of dollars for newer phones when this one is such a great price and does the exact same thing. Once you put a case on it you can tell anyone that it's the newest model and they won't know. The quality is that good

    I needed a new Android phone, and was shopping online comparing price and features. This phone has a camera that reduces wiggle when taking photos. There are many other features, too numerous to mention here. Perfect phone for a baby boomer!

    I was in the market for buying a new phone. This was a different experience for me this time around because I was no longer with my previous service and was not upgrading to the newest model as I had done in the past. At first it seemed overwhelming, trying to make sure I was going to find the perfect fit based solely off of reviews and specs through an online purchase. This model did have some negative reviews, but so did the S21. I am so glad I decided to budget my money and purchase the A51 instead, in spite of the reviews. In my opinion it is a great phone, better than the last S model I had been using and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. I would definitely say money well spent. I don't think anyone would be disappointed if the purchased the A51.
