I want to buy this product but the problem I got with samsung phone products is that they heat up easily(the battery). I was looking for a mention towards that, I couldn't find one though. Has anyone came across the same problem?

    Compared with an A50 or even an A7 2018 the A51 is a lacklustre phone, inferior in everything. Never mind the numbers, I own all three and the A51 is by far the worse.

      Wreezy, 06 Dec 2020Hello, please I am currently using Samsung Galaxy S5 and I ... moreI'm currently using the s5 also. I have to charge it at least 3-4 times a day lately and it's getting hot. I need an upgrade so I'm leasing the a51 and it should be here in a couple days. Once I use it for about a week I'll let ya know how I feel about the a51

        Prob with our unit, it keeps on disconnecting with our wifi. All the other gadgets are doing fine, while A51 was left disconnected.

          I normally do not post about things of this nature, but today I can't stand it anymore. The A51 I have is the WORST phone I have ever owned hands down. I'm having to hold it in a weird way just to type on the screen right now because the screen is so wide it thinks my fingers are trying to select items and side menus. If I pick the phone up while watching a movie the whole thing goes crazy thinking I'm tring to touch a bunch of things on the screen. I need a spatula to pick this stupid thing up!!! It's the worst phone ever!!!

            Anonymous, 08 Apr 2021Well I just got the A51 after having an S8 for 3 years. I ... moreMy company give all the workers (5000 in the country) the A50. I use it for work and personal. All expenses are paid, so why not? But the phone is a mess. Sometimes I need to charge it 2x a day. It is not a work phone, and just like you said, it consumes battery, more than Homer eats donuts... dont buy it, if you need to use on a regular base. Better spent more in something good. Stay away from this junk.

              Well I just got the A51 after having an S8 for 3 years. I have only had it for 2 days. I absolutely absolutely HATE it. I wish I kept my S8. The battery % goes down very fast. Unbelievable. Never happened that fast with my S8 even at the end of the 3rd year. And that's without playing games or anything else. Battery runs down without doing anything, just sitting there. This would be a good first time phone. I have to get the courage to get rid of this phone.

                    jaamieee, 19 Feb 2021Never happened to me?Your probably using a Snapdragon chip US version and the Exynos EU version. You probably heard this before or aren't, there are 2 chips that Samsung is using 1. Snapdragon and 2. Exynos. Snapdragon is the best chip available for the US only while the EU and SA only gets Samsung's own chip: Exynos. As far as I've seen Snapdragon performs better than Exynos since Exynos produces heat and often reaches 40°c- 60°c 104°f - 140°f. It's heartbroken to see that EU and SA users only get the Exynos chip while the U.S gets the Snapdragon.

                      I bought this phone, Using Verizon network, I'm a picky guy when it comes to phones and I've had a lot, The Samsung A51 is r he same as the Samsung S8, Specs are the same the only difference is screen resolution and the ppi, I like it, Takes nice pictures, I have 4gb ram and 128gb of internal storage, As far as speed its OK, So far i haven't had any issues with any functions but again I've only had it for a couple weeks, I should have bought the Samsung A71, Same price as the A51 but has 5G Ultra wide band, 6tb ram and 128gb of storage, the screen is a little bigger and the processor a bit faster which makes it a better phone at the same price as the A51, I recommend the A71 If you can't find the S71 the second choice would be the A51.

Personally, to get the most out of the camera I had to download a camera app (Manual Camera Lite) which enabled me to get more Pro level video. Anyways, that has been my experience so far.If you can though, put on some extra money and get the S20 FE or M51 or OnePlus Nord, those are all better ones for like $100 USD more.

                                    My a51 battery is not holding charge for long, I have to keep charging it several times a day. And sometimes the phone is very slow.
