Samsung Galaxy M51 Review - BATTERY MONSTER UNDER ₹25000 ( In Depth) !! By Bit Tech

When I first heard about galaxy m51 without looking at specs or anything I was just like you all and thought of this as another samsung midranger with an average processor and okayish in everything else but after trying this devices as my daily driver my thoughts have changed quite a but for this device so let’s checkout if samsung m51 is worth considering at this price or not. And not to mention this is a retail unit purchased by myself for this review in case some people were wondering. So i will be dividing this review into various sections and let’s get to the first one design and build quality- Well on the front we have a 6.7inch full hd+ samoled display which to be honest looks great because you know samsung makes the best amoled panels and that can be felt on this device as well the single punch hole camera gets out of the way quite easily and the display might not be the brightest you get but is easily visible outdoors and you wont have any issues as such the colors are sharp and the calibration is done perfectly. The device is not accessible easily with one hand but for that you get this nifty one handed mode and that solves that problem as well. The weight balance is done really perfectly and the device even weighing 214gms does not feel that heavy and it is something you experience after holding it in hand and not from the specs mentioned on paper. On the back you get this plasticy sort of material which is a fingerprint magnet and feels less premium as compared to other glass backed devices but that extra weight gain contributes to a biggest battery in a midranger which well get to that in a second.

The button placement is right and the fingerprint scanner too is quite fast and accurate so no issues there though i feel the button quality could have been better. Rest the design of any device is something subjective and i have no issues with it as such because of its more practical approach towards things and you dont get a camera bump too like every other device, so everything is fine in this department. One tiny complaint i have is with usb cable which is a bit short in length and not of that great quality so they should have bundled a better one. Now coming to the software part so this samsung m51 runs on oneui2.1 based on android 10 which is nowhere close to stock yes but it is one of the last few cleanest iterations of android that feels really polished to the core, there are some apps that come pre installed yes but you can easily uninstall most of them and like other brands these days please don't expect all features from top of the line series but i really like that we have an always on display that is very customisable and handy so i kept it to always on all. the Time without worrying about the battery life at all as it is really handy.

Rest you get features like Dolby atmos support, that nifty one handed mode and a lot more stuff which I'll cover in a separate video. So overall i find no issues with this one as i have been a stock android user since quite sometime now. Yes and don't forget to subscribe to bit tecn on youtube so that you don't miss out on other videos like this one. Next aspect would be the overall performance and here i would say that the device did ran everything just fine in this whole time oneui has been optimised very well on this device and there were no issues so far i did see some adjustment issues with ambient brightness sometimes but nothing major as such the apps like netflix run on full screen without any black bars and all the games too ran just fine, I did play call of duty, asphalt 9 pes and some other games too and overall the experience was just great plus due to a bigger screen the media consumption and gaming was a great experience on this device so thumbs up to that. So if you want an in depth gaming review do let me know in the comment section down below so in short you will not have any problems as such as the snapdragon 730g is also a fairly capable processor of course not a gaming oriented one but it can easily run everything just fine for a midranger.

Coming to the battery life and here i would say those little cons pay off quite heavily because this device is like charge one use forever because of its 7000mah capacity it easily lasted 2 days for me on a single charge even with always on display set to always on there was no huge standby drain as such and the device was always connected wifi. You can watch movies and play games for hours on a stretch and still you will end up your day with some juice left which is a commendable thing. Plus with its reverse wire charging feature you can put it to use in some emergency scenarios too and act like a powerbank and for that you don't need a separate cable even. You can charge your earphones and other low power accessories too with this one and you will appreciate this feature of galaxy m51. Speaking about that you don't get any crazy fast charger with this one so only a 25watt one but this is quite consistent and charges this device in less than 2hrs which might seem like a bit long but you don't really need to charge this device to a 100% to use it for a day like 60-70% is enough to last for a day in case you are in a hurry.

So i am really positive about the battery backup this device has. Coming to the camera’s so on the front we have a 32mp punch hole selfie camera and on the back we get a quad camera setup that includes a 64mp primary sensor, a 13mp a 5mp macro camera and a 5mp depth sensor and to be honest this camera setup is better than most of those 2mp one’s that we have with other midrangers, the images from the primary camera turn out to be really sharp in daylight and and here are some samples The images it captures have really fine detail and colors too, they look sharp overall and even in low light this camera performs really good because of this sony sensor and with the supplied night mode so the primary camera is really good on this device and produces some good portrait mode shots too that can be adjusted even after taking the images because of the amount of data it captures. Plus this single take features makes it really handy to capture different types of image. And here are some samples from other 2 camera’s of this device so i think they look good for a midrange device and are definitely usable as compared to the other devices we see in this price segment. Though that macro camera is still okayish but occasionally you will get some usable images with that as well so its good to have the option.

Also here is a video sample and this device also has super steady mode that works really well and makes the overall video output quite stable though there is no ois plus there is no v3 60fps option as of now but you can manage that with a gcam mod as i tested it and it worked just fine. The front facing camera of this device is also good and produced some fine results that are well detailed and even with the portrait mode shots too it does a pretty good job. In the front facing camera too for videos you don't get 60fps option but there is 4k 30fps support as of now. You also get night mode for the front facing camera and it is really helpful in taking low light selfies One tiny thing i observed is this ring notification which has been put to really good use while using the front facing camera or using face unlock and it is really helpful plus it looks cool. Coming to other things about galaxy m51 so the speakers on this device in particular are not that loud they are enough for calls and stuff but don't expect them to be the loudest in this price The call quality was great on this device too and i made a lot of calls on it be it zoom or normal calls and they were clear without any distortions plus there is voice over wifi support too which works fine as well.

You also get a 3.5mm jack which i really miss even now because bluetooth earphones can offer a limited amount of backup per charge and i love that we have an option on this device and the sound quality was good too plus dolby atmos support makes it a bit customisable too. Rest you get 2 mics as usual and a dedicated sd card slot as well though i think the quality of sim tray should have been better as this one feels a little flimsy. To sum it all up well this galaxy m51 is really a good device from samsung in budget price after years and that’s why even I had to try this to see where we are with this device and honestly it did not fail to impress me so far yes it has its own cons like somewhat less premium build and some extra bulk but all that contributes in one way or the another to make it what it is and I think it is a good non chinese smartphone you can consider as of now. So that’s it for now do like this video if it helps you out and subscribe if you haven't already so i will see you in the next one.
