  • A bargain and then some.
I'm not entirely sure if I got a returned/refurbished phone or not - the packaging was immaculate (not at all like it had been repackaged). When I first turned it on I was greeted with an Android command-line boot screen, which I'm somewhat familiar with - I moved the cursor down to "wipe phone" and the next screen was the image I posted. There shouldn't have been a reason for me to get that screen at first power on. Having said that, the factory reset procedure went flawlessly, the Samsung transfer app worked beautifully to get all my information and apps moved to this new phone, and after a couple of logins the A51 was up and running. The main reason I bought it was because of its storage - I am so tired of running out of space with 32 GB phones. I keep NOTHING on the phones - I cleaned caches, I kept no documents, no photos, no music, I constantly moved apps to the SD cards - yet, after about a year or so of updates, all the storage space disappears. I have no idea where, as I run my phones excessively lean. So I opted for this 128GB model. It's a BEAUTIFUL phone to look at, stylish, black iridescent back, and a simply gorgeous screen. Very thin and slippery, however, and I'd read many reviews of breakage so I also ordered protective casing and screen protectors. I have never used fingerprint login on any of my other phones before and I've read that the tempered glass screen protectors make that feature difficult to use - I can't speak to that. Never used it before, don't miss it now. I'm 62. I'm not a gamer, so I don't need the highest/fastest processor. I need clear, bright, sharp visuals, a decent speaker, and enough speed so that I can play podcasts without stuttering. Reliable WiFi and Internet access are a must. This phone fits all of those criteria. I use it with Android Auto in my Toyota to listen to those aforementioned podcasts on my way to work, I access my email and make Amazon purchases via the device, what phone calls I make are clear and understandable, and it's plenty fast enough for the purposes I use these little pocket computers for. I added a 128 GB SD card (that card may have a fault or two because I still habitually move apps to the card - a holdover from my days with low-storage phones, and sometimes those moved apps need to be reinstalled after they've updated). But the phone itself, in spite of my wariness when I first powered it up, has been flawless. There are comments about this phone not being able to connect to mobile data through services like Tracfone, and the statements about the simple fix (checking which access point it's connecting to and adding the right one if it's not listed) are spot-on. I had that problem with a prior phone and so I knew to look for it when setting this up - sure enough, it didn't have the right access ID listed. I typed it in and it's connected fine from that point on. It's already updated itself to Android 11 and I am given to understand that it will soon update to Android 12. For the money, as a Tracfone user, this was a bargain and a half. I simply love this phone! Update as of May 25: The phone DID get Android 12,and the only thing was that I had to reenter the correct access point name for Tracfone (VZWINTERNET) in order to get data access. Everything else appears to have gone smoothly. ... show more

  • A huge upgrade for me AND This phone is loud! Voices also come in LOUD!
UPDATE Two months after using this phone. --Loudness is a big plus. I can hold this phone 5 inches away, it is loud enough to hear and speak with others. Due to radiation dangers, I like being able to use this phone without holding it to my ear. --4GB memory makes this phone work better than its contemporaries with 3 or 2 GB memory and slightly (lets say 50%) stronger CPU-Processor. --Receptivity with my home wifi and with cell phone towers is excellent. *** I use my Google voice phone number on this too! It works great on this A51. I like having two phone numbers on one phone. I have an Obi at home to use with my Google Voice. Now I have disconnected it, to use this phone as my Google voice connection. --- I like the huge, very high def. OLED screen --- Phone is very touch responsive. Much better than my old LG Rebel 4....I also use a stylus with A51. Cheap generic styluses work well on A51. You do not need to buy an official Samsung stylus. I have been building and using Windows PCs since 1997. This phone is one of the top 5 "computer" upgrades I have ever done. My old LG was pathetic compared to this A51 and its receptivity was fading, for whatever reason. With dropped phones calls and so on. ___________________________________ It rings loudly, but also those who phone me....their voices come in loud! Which I like! So I can hold it 5" from my mouth. This way I don't get all those LTE frequencies entering my skull and brain. Safer this way. Good way to stimulate getting brain cancer is to hold a cell phone at your ear for hours each day. I bought this on Black Friday at Amazon --- for $100 It came with Android 10 and started to automatically upgrade to Android 11. Android 12 is alive, and being rolled out, but being doled out to Gooogle Pixel phones first. I cannot wait to get android 12 My previous phone had Android 8 and was not going to upgrade above 8 Android 11 is so much better and more logical than Android 8. It is 10 times better. With my previous phone, my reception and connectivity for voice phone calls via TracFone was getting worse and worse. Especially in my house. With phone calls breaking up etc. / With my new A51 these problems are gone. This A51 phone has the wifi-calling feature (old phone did not) which I can activate if I need to enhance my phone call reception when at home. This means that if necessary, part of my phone call is routed through the internet via my home wifi network. It hitches a ride with my wifi. ### Just as a test, I have not yet activated wifi calling. No need to. Your case might be different. If you are in a rural area and have a home wifi network. For sure look into wifi calling. Go to settings >>> Connections>>>wifi calling with its on-off slider button The OLED screen is very vivid and lovely. It has a blue light filter/damper for use at night. Battery life is good and probably very good. I have not really used the very high rez cameras much yet. Only briefly and they seem OK Bottom line is that me talking reception is much better/ in fact I have zero problems. Thanks Samsung!! ... I never buy Apple ... show more

  • Works
Update: still using this with wifi for apps only. I want to find a that is easier in one hand, smaller size/ width. I find if using one hand, its too wide, uncomfortable. And if I am laying down, it'll easy flap down into my face because I don't manage it well with one hand. Previous: I ordered this phone as a upgrade for my A20-something that has less storage. Old phone is still kicking so using this phone with wifi connection only, not with phone service yet, *So my reviews are based on all other features. Will update. Facial recognition: When attempting to record a video on this feature, with the opinion that it isn't all that great, my video proved me wrong. My new conclusion is that it is adaptive. Once the phone recognizes your face from certain positions, it works fine, usually on the second initial attempt from that position/angle. Not bad. Lockscreen lock/ blackout time: At first, I didn't like how quickly the lock screen cuts off when the facial recognition doesn't work after the initial attempt. The dilemma I imagined is: I'm driving and want a quick facial recognition, it does not work, then I become a distracted driver (maybe more so at this point) attempting to quickly press that little bitty retry icon BUT then the screen quickly cuts off. No settings to change this. But I recognized that it's as simple as hitting the side button again to retry. I've got to get with the 'make life simpler' game. Fingerprint: video recording test of the finger recognition passed with flying colors. **Here's where a problem lies- not the phone (at least not with mine) but with Screen Protectors. Many have hardly-visible dots in their design and these distort your finger print. I love the particular case I purchased but it comes with one of those protectors. I plan to order a different protector and cut this one out. From many screen protector reviews, though, it looks like this is a pretty common problem. Phone case: When finding a case, reading several reviews, I discovered that you have to be careful to not just find a A51 case, but specifically A51 4g. There are apparently other versions or something. So just keep your eye out. Personal opinion: This is an upgrade for me. Hence, I was not expecting for the phone to be top-notch like for $250 to infinity$$+ phone. Looks: The screen looks good and sharp. Nice and sleek. I don't prefer large size screen, but they only give you so many options one year verses the next. Picture quality: Picture quality is very likely just OK. (I don't spoil myself by seeing what higher priced phones qualities are like). But in comparison to my old phone, the pictures are brighter. Phone service/ quality: not tested yet. Will update later ... show more

  • Good phone for the money
I did my homework before buying the Galaxy A51, so I knew I would be getting a budget midrange phone that doesn't offer what the S series phones have. The chipset in this phone isn't great, and the 4gb of RAM means it can't multitask very well. With that in mind, my thoughts: Pros: -The display is pretty incredible given the price of this phone. -Battery life is pretty good; lasts a full day on a charge with moderate use. -Great storage capacity (128gb) plus micro sd storage means you can stuff the phone with apps and media. -Very decent camera, especially in well-lit situations, although it struggles a bit in low-light. 4k video recording for this price range is pretty insane and video quality is great. -A ton of phone for the money. -Signal is decent; it's nowhere near the worst I've seen on a phone, but it's not the best either. The antennae in this phone do their job as long as there's cell and/or wi-fi in your immediate vicinity Cons: -The Exynos 9611 chipset is weak compared to Snapdragon chipsets. This phone runs the latest games like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile on the lowest possible settings fairly decently, but I wouldn't buy this phone specifically to game on if you have the money to spend on a phone with a better chipset. -The bloatware on this phone is outrageous. Be prepared to spend an hour or two uninstalling invasive junk apps and disabling everything you can't uninstall. Overall, the A51 is great value for the money; I just wish the chipset was better. If you're not a hardcore gamer it won't really be an issue, and even if you want to play games on it it's good enough to run anything available, but it's not a futureproof phone as far as the chipset goes. As for Tracfone's services, they're adequate. Nothing more to really say. You get about what you pay for. ... show more

  • I bought it for $100
I upgraded from a Samsung J7 and this was like getting an Iphone 13 by comparison.. But the A51 is a mid level phone.. It's just good enough to play MCOC well.. It keeps up with my work phone which is an Iphone 10.. I know this is an older phone and there is an A52 5G phone out that is a little quicker Not that you would notice quicker.. Finally I have to say, If you buy a phone every 3 years.. Don't buy the 5G phones if you can avoid them. 5G sucks it's not any better than LTE.. There isn't any coverage for 5G yet.. Plus there are 3 different types of 5G.. The one we get is basically LTE.. The one that is actually Fast can only cover a City block and they can't put them on Service poles because it can fry people.. It's a Gimmick to sell phones right now.. 12/9/21, 5G won't be a real thing for at least another 5 years.. I am a communications Tech and telling the truth.. So if you only upgrade every 3/5 years, We Are All Totally still good with LTE phones.. LTE still has the Best Nationwide coverage.. This is a great phone to pick up on the cheap that can game very well... It used to sell for close to $400, but I got it for $100 so no complaints here just remember what I said about the 5G.... ... show more

  • Great Phone
The phone is great. The phone is great! It has a lot of storage capacity and many cool features. Much of the data from my LG were transferred successfully since I had it backed up to Google. Because data from other apps weren't transferrable (i.e. Quick Notes to Samsung Notes), I found a way to do so via Google Docs. I didn't care for many of the unnecessary apps (games), which were uninstalled once I had the phone up and running. The only thing I'm trying to figure out now is how I can best utilize my Google features versus those offered by the Samsung apps. For many, it may not be appealing purchasing a locked phone (for Tracfone); but I've been using Tracfone for several years, and appreciate the flexibility offered in its plans...and the talk, text, and data is quite sufficient. ... show more

I've given it sometime before reviewing, but this phone is really great. I'm so glad I purchased it. It takes great pictures and has a low learning curve. It has updated itself twice since I've had it. It only gets better. I've always bought Samsung smartphones and this one is the best I have had.

  • Samsung Galaxy A51
As a Tracfone user since 2006, I am happy with their service. Setting up the phones is MUCH easier than it used to be. I don't use mine very often so this is much less than standard carriers. Battery lasts 3 days because I don't 'live' on it.

  • The Samsung Galaxy A51 works reliably.
I bought the A51 for $99.95 on Amazon at 55% off on the Black Friday sale and it is the CDMA version that uses the Verizon networks in North America, it has good memory for a burner phone at 128 GB, a few different cameras that take a while to get used to as well as room for a 512 GB micro SD card. It is currently using Android version 11 with a different setting menu then Android 10 uses. There are European versions of this cellphone that will not work in North America due to different frequencies so I had to make sure this was the American version before I ordered it. I went to the Samsung website and downloaded the factory owners manual for the A51 since there is hardly a owners manual for the cell phone included with it. I hope to get a few years of use out of it as long as Verizon towers are in the area. ... show more

  • Wow. Just Wow.
I'm exceedingly disappointed and put out because I was RELYING on this New Fancy Phone to be my main way to create Videos, Podcasts and all manner of stuff for my channel. Up until now I have had to put up with crap, and I'm used to CRAP by now, but this ... -- It won't hold a charge, even though it's Turned OFF 24/7! I turn it on every other day and the charge is BELOW 50%! I don't keep it on for longer than 15 min. and make NO CALLS or TEXT, yet it's Depleted anyway! -- I installed a 128GB Mini SD Card, but the phone Won't Recognize it! No idea why and no ability to straighten this out, I'm just out of luck apparently. I would say more but I have not been able to figure out much more because of the following. So we bought 2 of these things, turns out they BOTH make me and my mother SICK. I'm wondering who else has been feeling sick from these new phones. Dizzy, Nauseous, headaches that go into migraines, weakness & even oddly enough hunger. And the dizziness is so terrible that we fall over from it, I couldn't walk for a whole day because of these things! It makes me think these phones are not like protected in some way, almost like a microwave that doesn't have the shielding put in & it just nukes the whole surrounding area when you turn it on. My Mom made the mistake of sleeping with her phone on the nightstand next to her, woke up dizzy, sick and weak beyond all get out. She was hardly able to eat and was forgetful too! I was even having odd eye problems from the darn thing, maybe cause I'm half blind and must hold it about a hands width away from my face when I use the phone! >X-P! So in the end I could complain more but really I'm wondering how many other people have been sick from these things. I don't know if it's the battery or the phone itself that's doing this, but the battery is CLEARLY a BIG Problem. If I could I would drop this thing like the Nuked Potato it is and go with ANY other phone, Google even, but because of money constraints I'm forced to put up with this piece of TRASH. >=-(!!!!!!! I just wish Amazon, Trac Fone, whoever would at least offer to put a new battery in our phones just to see if this is the overall problem making us sick. =-(!!!!!!! ... show more

Now after 6 phones I've got two that work great. Somebody somewhere fixed something.

  • Great Phone for the Money, But Not So Great Benchmarks or Sound
This phone is a great value for the money, especially when compared to Samsung's far more expensive flagship phones. Admittedly, the phone does not have the RAM, speedy processor (benchmark), or sound quality of a flagship. However, in many other areas, the phone is very competitive; especially when it comes to internal memory (128 GB), display, and cameras. I did not notice a lack of performance when doing typical tasks. The phone only has one speaker at the base of the phone. While the sound quality is loud enough it definitely lacks quality when compared to a premium phone. The lack of two speakers (stereo) is very noticeable. However, the phone outshines many flagships since it has a headphone jack and 512 GB external SD card access. Finally, the fact that the phone cost about a third of a flagship should be enough for most people to deal with its limitations. The phone is compatible with the Verizon network and the setup through Tracfone was a breeze through the Tracfone rep, which I recommend. ... show more
