    I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it! Great size screen, lots of memory. The size is great for his bigger hands. He uses all day with games, you tube, movies and everything else. Sounds clear, vision is clear, fast and awesome camera qualities. We bought the unlocked no contract phone for our Att service. Purchased at best buy. Definately will recommend.

    I have to admit...this phone is very impressive, ther is no need to throw your money on a S20, this phone is fast, has plenty of storage to which i added an extra 128gb with a microsd, not that i really needed it but i had it from my previous phone. The cameras are pretty good and the 5g network is really fast.

    I love this phone! Was a little concerned about the price at first but it's so worth it. The camera is great and easy to use. The memory space is great for a college student with photos, downloads, and apps. Runs fast and works well. One thing is the phone takes screenshots weird--you have to swipe your hand across the screen instead of holding buttons down to screenshot. Phone doesn't have home buttons as real buttons, they're part of the screen. Once you get used to it, it's a great phone!!!

    This awesome phone got more awesome with an update to Android 11. The A series is an affordable line of cell phones that can be compared to the much higher priced flagship S Series with the exception of the camera, but it's still a good camera. I like Samsung products and think is worth the price. This phone is a big improvement over my old Samsung phone with more power and speed, a huge amount of storage acme 5G with Metro by T*Mobile. It's a great combo. I also got it on BestBuy's one day sale and saved $150 so it's a win- win for me.

    I was dead set on getting a 5G phone but couldn't afford the S20, as my service is prepaid so I had to pay the full amount out of pocket S20 $1099 A51 5G $450 you do the math. It is a great phone with a great camera that i havent even got to explore all the tricks on it!

    Very good phone for the money. It has all the necessary features of a premium phone. One thing which it doesn't have is the wireless charging. Very good camera and picture quality.

    I love this phone. It has a great camera and the 128 GB memory is all i need. I had to keep deleting items from my previous phone on a daily basis which became annoying so I decided to upgrade to this. My battery lasts 1 or 2 days which is good enough for me.. but I guess that will vary depending on how you use it. I am not sure if I am benefiting from the 5G as I have not noticed a difference with my older phone. Overall, I love it!

    This is a good phone but it did not come with thorough instructions on the many features. Thumbprints were on the film when I opened the box. I should have returned and requested a replacement.

    Mom really loves the phone. It takes just photos. Runs much faster than her older model. She’s not the most tech savvy, but she said it’s been great.

    All the bells and whistles of a premium phone For less than half the price point. Exactly what I wanted it to replace my aging samsung note 5. Great phone with all the great features especially the OLED screen easy for my eyes.

    Got this as a present for Christmas for my fiance. She cried with joy and was filled with bliss to finally upgrade from here previous phone. She did not want a big phone like I have (galaxy note 20 Ultra), but something that had a great camera and awesome looking display screen.
