I can't believe Sammy is charging so much for this phone, when the A51 is right in the middle of a midranger market. For the price you have so many more choices, and even for half the price you would find handsets with similar feature set or performance.

Shame on you Samsung, You have the nerve! And this is coming from a former Samsung user.

    Your usage of the phone can impact how easily will slow down and YES if you hard reset your system, the phone can recover it's performance fully.

    Obviously if your phone is way fast even if it slows down it will not be as noticeable than a slower phone.

          Maaty007, 10 Feb 2020I have been using A51 for a week. I'm very unhappy with my ... moreU were using iPhone 7 prior to this and U say this have bad battery life? That iphone has 1960 mah, worst battery life on any iphone ever. Don't get it.

          I do get you have used high end phones and one gets demanding, move to a midrange and you will find it lackluster.

          I think you should move back again to a higher end device and stay there and sell this and quit being pissed at it.

            I have been using A51 for a week. I'm very unhappy with my purchase. (6RAM/128GB)

            Device is laggy, buggy, poor battery, poor sunlight visibility, blurry photos/slefies!!! and does not provide a consistent performance whether you are gaming or browsing. I think it is because of the poor software integration rather than actual specs but Samsung is not really famous for frequent updates for non flagships.
            It is my first Samsung in a few years. I was using an Iphone 7 perior to this. I have also owned and used Galaxy S6, S3, Xiaomi Redmi note 2 and I could say without doubt that Xiaomi offered the most frequent updates for any cheap phone I have ever owned also the performance was phenomenal for the price. S6 was a very good device with endless possibilities and frequent updates but it was very expensive at launch. Iphone offers the most consistent and reliable performance ever.

            *If you want to buy a flagship or a great reliable phone then buy a Samsung S/ Iphone
            *If you are on a budget then buy Xiaomi
            *If you want a midranger then and older model Iphone for camera, reliability and dare I say gaming/ Xiaomi or Huawei for performance and high framerate

            Big companies do not care about low/ midrange devices as other emerging manufacturers that provide much more for money in terms of performance and updates (beware of poor quality check on Xiaomi though because you could have minor issues with second SIM card or speakers etc other than that great all rounders)

            *Thats my first review I felt the need to share my experience specially that i really like tech and been using gsmarena for over a decade but please take my opinion with a pinch of salt and correct me if I'm wrong.

                                        So confused with screen display test... especially for in sunlight display
                                        like the old display test

                                        Color rendition is handled familiarly - the Natural/Vivid approach Samsung introduced recently. Natural aims to reproduce sRGB content truthfully, and we measured a very good average deltaE of 1.8, though 100% Green was particularly off with a deviation of 5.4.

                                        The Vivid mode offers a 5-position cool-to-warm slider, and we were particularly impressed with the spot-on whites and grays at the warmest setting, which yielded an overall average deltaE of 2.7 when examining color swatches against their DCI-P3 targets. The mid-point on the slider will get you slightly worse average deltaE of 3.3 and not as accurate whites - moderately shifted towards blue to the tune of a deltaE of 4.
