Embarassing phone for the price point. Of course, there's no need for beefy performance for gaming but if this is the amount of lag you're getting, then it's not worth it

              Also Realme is a very narrow minority that no one outside of one or two specific regions knows or cares about.

                            Been using the A51 for 2 months now and never had any complaints. I'm not necessarily a heavy user but it definitely gets the job done! Sound quality, screen size and its manner of multitasking between apps are just some of its strongest suites. While I may have considered buying the S10 but this A51 is more than enough.

                            Coming from being a vivo, Huawei and Asus user for the past 5 years.

In many countries, people whoa re looking for a Samsung phone but cannot afford the expensive S series will look at the A series. Amongst them, the A51 is the middle one, which most people will choose simply by consumer behavior.

A51 is sold fairly well in my country. Most of the reasons that I could hear mostly on Samsung's brand values, really big Amoled screen, Android 10 with the latest One UI and decent camera.

                                      In my country you could get Huawei Nova 5T or Realme 6 Pro for the same price as A51 but even though those 2 phones have fans especially on gamers, lots of young people still buy A51 for social media, selfie or things like that.
