Samsung
is getting ready to unleash a slew of new A-series devices into the world, and
one of the most anticipated is definitely the Galaxy A51. That's because its
predecessor, the A50, was the king of the newly revamped A-line, in terms of
sales. We've already seen the A51 in CAD-based
renders, and it's also been spotted at the FCC. Now it's time for a bunch of
official-looking press renders, portraying it in all its glory.
The
phone boasts a camera island shape that seems to be Samsung's trademark for its
2020 devices, with an L-shaped arrangement of the shooters themselves inside.
The A51 will be Samsung's most affordable handset with a quad cam setup on the
rear.
The
primary one is 48 MP f/2.0, and you also get a 12 MP f/2.2 ultrawide, a 5 MP
depth sensor, and a 5 MP f/2.4 dedicated macro camera. This is expected to be
one of the biggest talking points in official materials, because of the very
tight close-ups it enables.
The
"3D Glasstic" build from the previous A-series generation is here to
stay, only now it has pastel shade pattern combos. The phone will be offered in
Prism Crush White, black, pink, and blue. The centered punch-hole selfie cam
appears to be one of those unique features on upcoming Samsung phones, to
better differentiate them from the competition.
The
A51 measures 158.5 x 73.6 x 7.9 mm, and weighs 172g. It's powered by the Exynos
9611 chipset, with 4/6GB of RAM and 64/128GB of storage, expandable via
microSD. The screen is a 6.5-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED, while the hole-punch is
there for a 32 MP f/2.2 front-facing camera. The fingerprint sensor is of the
in-display variety. A 4,000 mAh battery keeps the lights running, and it has
support for 15W charging.
The
Galaxy A51 will become official on December 12, at an event that was previously
teased by Samsung's arm in Vietnam. This may be the only handset announced on
that occasion, as apparently the A71 and a couple of other upcoming A-series
models will only see the light of day next year.
