    There’s so many negative reviews regarding this phone, mainly comparing it to the much more expensive flagship devices. I’m here to lay down an unbiased review, as someone who has used both flagship and budget. You can’t buy this phone and expect flagship qualities and features, there just won’t be any. But as for a midrange phone, it’s very well worth the money! Performance wise, it’s what you would expect for the price. It’s not the snappiest phone in the world but it gets the job done! The display is absolutely stunning, better than my previous $900 iPhone to be completely honest. For someone with bad eyesight, I very much appreciate the screen size, and how customizable the blue light filter is! The headphone jack and sd card slot is a major bonus for me as well! Considering how that isn’t available on the newest flagship phones anymore, it’s something to consider if it’s important to you! For the camera, it’s absolutely amazing considering the price! It very much reminds me of my Samsung galaxy s8 camera, which I adored. The 128 gb is more than enough for the average phone user, and the fact that you can expand that with the sd card slot is more than generous! All in all, this is the best Samsung budget phone you could get in my opinion! I hope this helps you :)

    I have had the cell a little more than a week. I took it to T-Mobile where the associate imported all my data from my old cell. Every thing works well. I have downloaded all the apps I use and have ample space for music and photos. The back camera focuses to about 2 inches which is great for taking close-ups of flowers and details on objects.

    I did a lot of research and decided on this Samsung A51 phone to replace my old Galaxy S5 which is somewhat outdated. This new Galaxy A51 is fantastic. Very powerful, has great storage room and the battery lasts much longer. Haven't tried the camera yet, but I'm sure it will be an improvement over my other phone. I really like the Samsung phones. My S5 has given me great and lasting performance.

    Cons: Had an iPhone before and prefer some of the functions of it better. Also, the iPhone was smaller yet, way easier to type on and predictive text was better! Do not like the way I am unable to put my apps in the order I want them. Pros: Lots of storage, decent I pictures. My husband likes his.

    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.

    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.

    For an inexpensive phone it has a lot of storage and is reasonably fast. Advanced features are somewhat limited so be careful that it does everything you need it to

    only down side is it has a lot of pre-loaded apps. Has a lot of storage though. Easy to navigate. Still learning whatsoever apps loaded in and whether I want to keep them. Lots of Samsung apps.
