    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

    The Samsung Galaxy A51 when I purchased was at a good price and has been a reliable phone. Sound and video are great and I like that Samsung has provided security updates in timely matter.

    Works great but you might want to get a case or it may not last long. Phone is pretty big but manageable. Display is very nice and battery lasts pretty long.

    This is hard to rate due to the fact that we purchased this unlocked Galaxy A51 for my son using Boost Mobile as a provider. It took him a little effort to get the service working (two trips to Boost Mobile - second location the guy new what he was doing) but he is still having problems! For some reason he can't see any text attachments (pics, etc.) or receive any Group text messages! Right now he's living with it but we need to find a solution or change carriers! Other than that he likes the phone.

    I'm not one to review products. In fact I've only done it a handful of times in my life. I've had this phone for a year almost to the day and have had nothing, but problems with it. Don't get me wrong this phone worked amazing.... for the first 5 months I had it. From there it all went downhill in a very short span of time. This phone freezes whenever I open certain apps. It glitches and turns itself off and then it never turns back on past the Samsung screen. When charging it also overheats and won't turn back on for hours after it's fully charged. The camera quality is subpar and only really excels when it's a very bright day, but the camera focus is awful. I absolutely loved this phone for those first few months and now I'm trying to figure why I wasted so much money instead of just getting the most basic $100 smartphones, that you expect to only last a year. My phone just glitched again today and it came back on pretty quickly (which is unusual, since it usually takes hours), but when I go to put in my password I get a message saying I'm locked out of my phone for the next 24 hours..... So, now it's time to find a new one.

    Honestly, I took it back before I opened it up - I read too many and I mean probably 50 plus reviews on a variety of websites from customers that it was just too slow

    This phone is an upgrade from J3. It meets my needs. There are limitations. For the price good investment. Transfer of information from old phone went well.

    While it's not a Samsung Note, this is a very versatile phone and I am pleased with another excellent Samsung product. Additionally, the price was an exceptional value at Best Buy.

    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.

    The camera is much better than prior phones. It's a little heavier to carry and doesn't fit in pockets very well.

    I bought this for my Mother-n-law. She had trouble working it so gave it to my son. Seems he loves it. Also seems it was more the size she didn't like than the phone it self.
