2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Sleek, classy design - the Galaxy M51 seems identical to the Galaxy A51, with a glossy polycarbonate back design - giving it a premium look
- The front gets a new trendy look with a hole-punch display, similar to the Galaxy M31s
- The phone feels solid in the hand - the 'glasstic back' offers better grip, and it is not as slippery as other phones with a glass back
- The side-mounted fingerprint scanner is quick to unlock the device
- Punchy, vivid and massive 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display - the display is one of the best in class panels with great colour reproduction and viewing angles
- It also comes with "Widevine L1" certification, which helps stream content in crisp HD resolution
- Blacks are deep on the AMOLED display, which looks good with Dark mode enabled
- Samsung's OneUI is today one of the more clean, refined Android UIs that's especially well optimized for large displays like this one
- One UI also brings in other useful stuff, like a System-wide Dark mode (which turns the background completely black and looks great on the M51's AMOLED display), and Always On Display option
- Very good performance from the Snapdragon 730G - the chipset and Samsung’s OneUI optimization could take anything that you throw at it, switching across apps, moving across the UI, multitasking, and opening multiple Chrome tabs, social media is a breeze - heavy games like Call of Duty run smoothly without any lag
- Samsung has fixed the only major drawback it had in other M-series phones with average performance, and this time the Galaxy M51 has no issue taking on the competition in performance
- Good quad rear camera setup - 64MP main sensor + 12MP wide-angle lens + 5MP depth sensor + a 5MP macro camera - the Galaxy M51 carries the same camera setup as seen on the Galaxy M31s
- Shots taken with the primary camera during daylight are quite satisfactory, images are detailed, especially the 64MP shots, and they showcase the good dynamic range
- The ultra-wide sensor, like on any mid-range phone, is a good addition - it takes social media-worthy images in great lighting conditions (in low-light, the quality dips and pictures look grainy and noisy, wide-angle shots also have barrel distortion at the edges)
- Photos taken in low-light looks good - switching to Night mode helps reduce grain in the output and further improves image quality
- Live Focus shots are quite impeccable and the camera app does give you the option to set the level of blur before taking a shot - edge detection is very good and the Galaxy M31 does a good job of separating the subject from the background
- The macro camera takes decent shots outdoors (though, the quality dips when indoors and the output is restricted to 5MP in resolution)
- The single take is a nice addition from the more expensive S20 series, it lets you capture multiple formats at once
- The 32MP selfie camera is quite good and takes detailed selfies (though in low light, the quality goes down a notch and results are grainy)
- Overall, the cameras on the M51s are good for the price bracket, even though they are not the best
- Mammoth, out of this world 7000mAh battery delivers an incredible 2-3 days of heavy usage easily, making the Galaxy M51 the largest battery life smartphones currently available
- Supports 25W fast charging - the phone takes around 2 hours to charge the battery completely, which is decent
- The Galaxy M51 brings very good value as its big battery, powerful cameras, and expansive display all help make a solid argument in the device's favour - the phone's Snapdragon 730G SoC also ensures that M51 offers enough in terms of raw power to help it tackle most things you throw at it
|
- Beautiful, 'shimmering' rear (plastic) panel, and a modern, notch-less 6.5-inch OLED screen - easily one of the best looking phones in this price bracket
- The notch-less display spans almost edge to edge, with a pop-up selfie camera mechanism (which is quite something to have, in this price bracket)
- Fairly fast in-display fingerprint reader
- The pop-up camera on the Realme X has a very quick ejection and retraction mechanism, which makes face recognition work pretty seamlessly too
- Very good 6.5-inch OLED screen - colors are lively, with deep blacks
- The lack of a notch really helps make the screen appear immersive, and consuming content on the screen is a pleasure
- ColorOS UI is now much more streamlined than before - there’s also now an app drawer, and a useful shortcut menu accessed by swiping from the sides
- The gesture navigation is nice and intuitive too
- Thankfully, it's not ad-strewn either, like some of the recent phones from Xiaomi
- Very good performance backed by the powerful Snapdragon 710 chipset - everything from daily use to high-end games is smooth
- GPU performance is an especially strong point of the Snapdragon 710, so if you are into gaming, the phone tends to comfortably outperform rivals
- Very good set of dual rear cameras (48MP+5MP) and front camera (16MP)
- Good overall image quality in daylight, and fairly good quality in low-light as well
- Night mode is pretty effective too
- Very good portraits
- Pretty great selfies too, from the 16MP front camera
- Realme’s EIS does a solid job of stabilization during videos at up to 1080p/30fps
- Support for 4K video recording (without EIS though)
- Overall, the Realme X is among the best camera setups of this price bracket, comparable to the excellent cameras on the Redmi Note 7 Pro and the Realme 3 Pro
- The Dolby Atmos-boosted speaker sounds pretty rich and gets fairly loud
- Good battery life with a 3750 mAh cell - you will comfortably get a day of use, even with heavy usage
- The class-leading VOOC fast-charging nicely complements the long battery life - it fills a completely depleted battery in 1:18h and it's at the 50% mark 30 minutes into it - which are some excellent numbers
- The Realme X looks like an incredible value package, no matter how you look at it, and will inevitably disrupt its price bracket in a big way - what you get is top-end specs, a 'full screen' AMOLED display with a pop-up selfie camera, very good performance, an excellent set of cameras, and super fast charging - you can't ask for more
|
2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- The Galaxy M51 feels hefty at 9.5mm thickness and 213g weight - it is difficult to use for a longer duration for calls, streaming, or even gaming
- The back of the Galaxy M51 is a fingerprint magnet - it can also get scratched easily since it is plastic
- The display lags with a 60 Hz display, where competing phones like OnePlus Nord offer higher 90 Hz refresh rate
- There's still great competition at this price and the OnePlus Nord has a lot up its sleeve with a newer processor, higher refresh rate display, and a best in class software
|
- ColorOS still has some bloatware though, and is not quite as clean/simple as stock Android
