Galaxy A51
The best-selling Android phone of 2020.
The Galaxy A51 is a mid-range Samsung smartphone released Dec 2019, with a launch price of $399. It pairs the Exynos 9611 with a 6.5" FHD+ Super AMOLED display, a 48 MP + 12 MP UW + 5 MP macro + 5 MP depth main camera and a 4000 mAh, 15W battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 72/100 — World's best-selling Android of 2020. Standout strengths: gorgeous prism crush finishes and vivid fhd+ super amoled. Main trade-off: exynos 9611 carried over from a50 — sluggish.
