Dude, stop looking for a phone and buy this one

!!! So for now, in mid 2020, this a51 galaxy is the best choice for anyone needing a cheap smartphone. Not only does it run all of the apps I'm used to but it delivers great performance for things I've not used before on subpar devices. The battery life isn't great but with a bigger smart battery by anger, I can fully recharge the phone in a pinch.
I'm used to very old phones and should have upgraded a long time ago. My 4g data transfers work so much more smoothly now with this phone. My pictures look better and my videos also have more clarity.
With a decent uag case and a zagg screen protector, I'm certain to not worry about damaging the device. Although its a bit bigger heavier than I'm used to for a phone, a popsocket on the back helps to hold the device comfortably. Plus the screen shrink function helps to touch hard to reach sections of the page when one handed.
I'm kind of into emulation, so it's no surprise that I would see how far the a51 can go with video games. When wirelessly connected to a Playstation controller, it flawlessly runs games. I've been using Nintendo, super Nintendo, sega, Gameboy, Gameboy color, Gameboy advance,
Nintendo ds, Nintendo 64, Playstation, psp, and Rockstar games from the Google play store. While not using the top tier snapdragon processor or the 8gb ram, this phone still does great work with all of the above.

This phone works great with the entire Google suite and I can't emphasize enough how nice it works with the commonly used apps I need from day to day. Now that I have this new phone, I am able to do everything I need to do on a portable computer faster and more easily than before.
The samsung software is great, with many helpful
tools like the keyboard, stacks, face recognition, and fingerprint scanning I am pleased with my purchase.

For the price, I can't afford to complain here. If anything, this purchase will only ensure I will stay with samsung for future upgrades and I'll most likely get their premium offerings. I might have to go ahead and upgrade my galaxy tab eventually since I am so pleased with this a51 device.
There's so much for so little in this phone, I am glad that I have it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Simple phone

I had a Motorola Z4 briefly but was having audio issues so I traded it in for this phone not really knowing it's features or reviews cuz I was pressed for time. I've had this phone for around two weeks now. I do like the phone, it seems like it has a few added cool features, but not much. I like that it has different cameras, tho still getting to know how to use them. The audio quality from the speaker is pretty good but it could be better. Umm...I am happy to report that I can be heard without fail and vice versa when I am on a call. If I think of more to relay, I'll see if I can edit this later.

i got this phone while traveling because my other phone died that i had had for 3 years. because i was on the road with other people i didn't have time to get a case. i went without a case for over a week and did not experience the things i read about the screen shattering. i have experienced the phone getting really hot and i just close everything and shut it down when that happens.
this phone is longer than my last phone so i had to get a different purse to accommodate it.

About this phone a couple of weeks ago and I am so glad I did. This phone has so much of the S10 In itAnd still a much better camera. The bio metrics are awsome on this phone so easy to use.

More affordable - less features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this phone was a great value, however i had to learn the hard way that this item was not remotely water resistant at all! just a little bit of moisture got into the phone and now it has half a green screen. you would think that samsung would make all of their products water resistant at least.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i've had the phone three weeks. the battery overheats and discharge for no reason. phone doesn't hold its pairing and other bluetooth settings. fingerprint recognition is inconsistent, but usually doesn't work. my old phone was better than this piece of garbage.
