At $400, Samsung's Galaxy A51 has a gorgeous display, good cameras, and a battery that will easily get you through the day, but it can use a boost in the processor department.

Expert review of the Samsung Galaxy A51. We have tested the successor of the very successful Galaxy A50 and were particularly interested in whether the quad cam offeres a real improvement. We also took a look at the new design of the Samsung smartphone, which is once again equipped with a lot of storage. The Galaxy phone can be purchased directly from Samsung or via most third-party retailers.
