[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] Alfalfalaffa:
It's a little all over the place for me, but ultimately disappointing. I don't know if it's a problem with my device, but it seems like my phone just ****s the bed during random intervals. There are times when I'll be using my phone and it will be surprisingly smooth considering the hardware, and other times where the animations feel very choppy and unpleasant. I've been running a lot of AnTuTu benchmarks, and I've got scores up to 180,000 when it's doing good, and down to almost 130,000 when ****s going on. And that's not just AnTuTu, these are differences I can feel in normal operations. So it's weird. I'm not sure if it's some kind of hardware bug or I've got some background process eating away performance that I'm unaware of, or something else. It's a real shame, because there's a lot I love about this phone.

But that's my experience. For the record, I have the Latin American variant with 4gb of ram. I still have yet to get any updates on it. It seems I'm stuck with the December security patch (I'm not sure what's up with that).
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] Mktcrasher:
Think I am having a similar experience, much choppier then I would have expected. Hangs a lot when opening or switching apps. Battery life disappointing as well. I am also on December security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] Haizum74:
Takes a second for home screen to refresh and load folders etc when going from an app to the home screen, not ideal.

Slow performance

Samsung A51 became slower after the new updates..:(
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] ju@ncho.com:
Good my variant is the SM-A515F (Panama), I am in with the firmware A515FXXU3ATC5 with security 2020-03-13. It is super fast and very stable, it does not have to be root, just apply disinfestation of garbage apk, through the ADB method, and the phone has shown very good behavior, getting 34 to 36 hours of battery, and in games this Super fast. I recommend you to update your official bases and remove garbage apk, with the ADB method.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] FitzHero:
Hello,

Good.

What is the packages to uninstal ?

Thanks you
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] ej_424:
I wanted to chime in here. I just got this device via Sprint so US model not the international one. I was a bit fearful coming from a pixel 4 based on the performance comments. I like plastic phones that have good specs and can be replaced if I drop it and crack the screen (refuse to use cases).

My experience with performance has been pleasantly surprising. Is it as fast as my pixel 4 was, heck no but for day to day use do i really notice enough that makes me regret the switch? Nope, not one bit. Most are probably aware but there is a good YouTube guide to speed this device up. A lot of it is common knowledge via Developer options but some of the other tips are good ones to apply if you aren't familiar with Samsung phones specifically.

How to enable Beast Mode on Galaxy A51: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ0Lkax0QSs&t=331s

Now if we can get a good ADB bloatware removal guide for this device we should see even further improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] peron:
Using the debloat guide for the A50 works just fine. The phone looks and works great for me and it's the 4GB version. Fingerprint unlock also works reasonably well and reliably after applying the tips listed on these pages.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] Deleted member 8585394:
It's pretty bad, yeah. My Nokia 7 Plus is faster and a better phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] dosangst:
Seconded, trick is to remove all the bloatware

I'll second this. Once I removed all of the bloatware (or technically, disabled, via the well known ADB method) and changed launchers (Lawnchair), this device runs like a dream. Hell, Asphalt plays w/o issue and is smooth and fast.

My only gripe so far is that I have been unable to find a working Gcam, the camera software leaves much to be desired.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] FitzHero:
Hello,

I desabled some apk.

Do you have a list of the apk you desabled ?

Thanks

Why is turning the screen horizontally or vertically so slow? I've never had a phone where it takes 3 seconds for the screen to rotate after I turn my phone until a51.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] StillBrilliant:
I was considering a galaxy a51 as replacement for my nokia 7 plus, because of its infamous hardware issue are starting to bother me (display brightness, loose usb port).

I take it from your comment this phone isn't a good replacement
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] Frau Son:
had it for a little over a week now, not a heavy user but moderate (mostly taking photos or using social media).

It's not bad, ofc it can't be compared to a flagship, but for simple daily tasks it's more than enough at this point

opening the camera takes quite long sometimes and apps tend to take a second or two to start, but then they're pretty fast and snappy

paid 280 € for it and that seems absolutely reasonable to me
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] gfx001:
The cure for lag is simple, I've used it on every Samsung device since the S2:

Uninstall or disable all the bloatware you can. Install another launcher (I use Nova) - set all animations to the fastest.

For good measure, disable all animations in settings -> developer options.

Lag gone.

CAVEAT I don't do gaming (life is too short) so can't comment on that.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] Dinepada:
Probably due the low end processor Samsung put on it, sadly it has its limits
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] Guyinlaca:
I've setup several A51's for people and it is hands down the slowest budget phone I've used in awhile. If you have Verizon, I strongly recommend the A51 5G UW or the S20 FE instead. The Snapdragon 765G and 865 are much faster and seem more stable. Given that the 5G models are also affordable, I cannot recommend the regular A51 to anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] OldBob65+:
Yes, perhaps. But...My wife and I both have the A51 and I have recommended it to my brother. He and his wife now have the A51. None of the 4 of us play games, and we all are between 70 and 80 years old. For us, it's the best phone we've ever had and I sold my S8 to buy the A51. At my age, the S8 was just too small and had a good but limited Camera. The A51 is perfect for all our needs.

It's a great phone for the $279 we each paid IF you don't do any heavy gaming. It's plenty fast enough for us old folks.

My a51 was real sluggish with the OneUI 2.x, but I got the 3.0 update with Android 11 yesterday and I must say it's a night and day difference. Animations are smoother, it doesn't feel like I have to wait around to do everything

Hi.

Does any one know how to get the original big on-screen-keyboard back after doing a windows update and Sp1.

The new keyboard is to small to use without the pen type device.

Any help would be appreciated.

Johan.
[Shift General] womper007:
Hi johan,

i've been having the same problems since updating as well. i did notice that you can drag the size of the keyboard out and it will resize to the larger size like the vista login screen.

Does anyone know how to get the input panel to appear next to your cursor when you hover over the text input area? i've set my options to do it, but it just doesn't appear in IE 7 like it used to before i did the updates. it's driving me mad as i used to like surfing without having to open the panel up on the taskbar (i keep it hidden) and i find having float on the side of the screen not very effective when just using my finger.

Thanks!

Scott.

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] mfaisal98:
I noticed something strange. When charging with 'fast charging mode set to on', the phone charges (with original adapter and original cable) at the rate of 1% of battery for every 70 seconds (observed when the battery was at 55%). IF you TURN OFF FAST CHARGING MODE (reboot to make sure the setting is in place) the phone still charges at the rate of 1% every 70 seconds, no difference! In both of the cases, the charging current as showed by 'Accubattery' app was around 1100+ to max of 1250 miliAmperes.

NB: When charging from a USB port of a laptop (which delivers a max of 500 miliAmperes, the charging rate was seen to increase 1% for every 6 mins 15 secs), that's 9.9%/hour charging, meaning 10 hours to go from 0 to 100%. )
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] OldBob65+:
I'm actually very happy with the charging rate. I recently sold my S8 and bought the A51 as the S8 was a bit too small for me. As soon as I got the phone I converted it to wireless charging. I had also converted my wife's A50 to wireless charging. Surprisingly, my A51 charges (via wireless) at about the same speed as my S8 did (wireless). When I charged the S8 I would get a screen prompt that I was using FAST wireless charging. I don't get that flag with the A51 but it seems to charge just as fast.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] subu_forever_after:
How did you convert to wireless charging?. Kindly explain the process
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] OldBob65+:
It's quite easy and painless and costs less than $15. Go to Amazon and search for "Nillkin qi wireless charging receiver patch specially designed for Google Pixel XL/2 XL - Galaxy A71/A70/A60/A51/A50/A40/A30 - Xiaomi Redmi 8A/8/Note 7/8/8T/ 7Pro/K30/K20 - and all other non-Qi phones with type C charging port. " Be sure it is the long size. Just position it on your phone and put your case on. Leave just a tiny bit of slack so you can easily remove the USB-C plug if needed. There will be those who tell you it hurts the battery to charge wirelessly but I can tell you I've been converting our phones since my S3 and has never hurt the battery. I use a real Samsung wireless charger but my wife uses some generic brand and it works about as well. Just be sure to use a high quality power adapter and very high quality USB cable from that power adapter. Make the cable as short as possible.

One other thing. My wife and I have TPU cases for our phones. I don't know if this will charge through big OtterBox cases but it does well with ours.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] m0000:
had the opposite experience with exact same brand/model. went to bed while phone was at 32% 6.5 hours later it was 39%. sent it right back to amazon for being garbage. maybe i got a bad one?
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] OldBob65+:
It's possible but more likely either the power adapter or cable. I've also found that sometimes the charging stand needs to be reset by unplugging for 30 seconds. Also could be the charging stand wasn't tall enough, there are so many variables. So far with both the A50 and A51 they are being charged exclusively by wireless from the beginning. Perhaps we've been fortunate.

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Real Life Review] vinnyz007:
I am doing this quick review of the amazingly affordable, yet competetively priced mid ranger from Samsung's stable. The model that I got is the Prism Blue version and it looks stunning even though the back is not glass. It reflects light in a unique pattern and shades of rainbow plays across the top half quite a lot. The device is surprisingly light to use and the punch hole camera and the indisplay fingerprint scanner induces a sense of premiumness to the device. You either end up loving it or hating it just like notches.

Now coming to the build quality of the device, this phone is quite well built, and I have no major complaints except at times, the sim ejector just goes into the hole and the tray doesn't eject, whic could later become a major niggle.

The call quality is amazing and the speakers and mic do a good job as well.

The super amoled screen is a boon to use and the contrast and color accuracy is perfect.

The cameras on the back do decent jobs. The macro camera is more or less a gimmick, is what I feel as the megapixel count is too low to use it for snapping anything other than instagram content and even then it at times lack the quality even for that. The 48 mega pixel mode is also not that useful as we miss the flash and timer on that. The front camera does a decent job of taking good looking selfies.

The network connectivity and wifi works really well and so does the NFC.

This phone has a headphone jack and honestly, I am very happy with the audio quality.

The indisplay fingerprint scanner is fast when it works, at certain times the fingerprint scanner fails to detect the fingerprint and we end up touching the area quite a few times to get it right.

The charger included in the box is a quick charger and that is a boon. The charging times are quick and the device doesn't heat up either.

Gaming on this device is amazing as well even though this is just a 60 Hz refresh rate screen. There is no lag whatsoever on PUBG and COD.

That's everything that comes to mind now. I will update later if something or the other comes up.
