If you're unfamiliar with Samsung's A-series of devices, the phones are its midtier price offerings that have traditionally performed well. The Galaxy A51 brings with it a 6.5-inch AMOLED display which helps Samsung continue its run of phones with beautiful screens. Also, seen from the front is the 32MP camera peeking through the hole-punch in the display.

In terms of the rear camera set up on the phone, there are four of them starting with the 48MP main camera. The remaining cameras offer a variety of dedicated functions, including wide-angle, macro, and portrait. When compared with the midtier camera king, the Pixel 3a, Samsung's Galaxy A51 held its own.

Samsung is continuing to be one of the few phone makers that are still offering a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack as well as expandable storage in its handsets. The Galaxy A51 is available with 128GB storage and can be expanded up to 512GB with a microSD card.

If you're looking for a new phone in the $400 price range, then Galaxy A51 may be for you.

A phone worth binging on
