Smartphones im Test: Gute Handys gibt es für weniger als 200 Euro

Die Mittelklasse fest im Griff. Das Samsung Galaxy A51 ist der Nachfolger eines der erfolgreichsten Smartphones 2019. Da gibt es natürlich hohe Erwartungen und auch die Konkurrenz schläft nicht. Ob das Galaxy-Smartphone mit insgesamt fünf Kameras überzeugen kann, das erfahren Sie im Test.

Samsung’s Galaxy A51 packs a great screen, a handful of cameras, and a big battery -- what more could you ask from a mid-range smartphone? Well, more consistent performance, for one. Despite using a reasonably powerful chipset, the A51 is often plagued by slow app launches and laggy animations, to the point when it sometimes feels like a device that costs much less. Battery life wasn’t as good as we had hoped for, either. While Samsung got a lot right with the Galaxy A51, it never feels as consistently nice to use as some of truly great devices available in its price range.

Samsung proves it can build a $400 phone that people actually want to use.

The A51 proves Samsung can make solid mid-range phones. Its flagship-esque design and solid cameras provide the foundations for an excellent handset, while One UI provides an excellent user experience. However, performance is less than impressive, while the poor in-display fingerprint scanner is a big letdown. Samsung fans can look beyond these shortcomings, but at this price point the A51 is hard to recommend.

The Galaxy A51 is the newest mid-range phone by Samsung that replaces the extremely popular A50 from 2019 and it brings an updated, modern design with tiny bezels as well as a few improvements to the camera.
