Samsung Galaxy A51 128 GB Wit

The Samsung Galaxy A51 packs a nice big display and a light, ergonomic design as sleek as its flagship siblings. A good budget phone for Samsung fans that want the look of the S20 and Note series.

This phone came with a defect of something because it wouldnt respond, and the battery ran out faster than the old phone I was trying to replace.

Had this phone for 6+ months now and so far so good. Using T-Mobile service, the features, connections and apps work better than other mid-level phones that I had previously. The only negative would be a battery that requires charging every 2-3 days (my previous Motorola phones battery charge lasted up to 2 sometimes 3 weeks) but I'll take the weaker battery trade off because the other features are much better than the LG & Motorola phones I've previously used

It was a reasonably fast and capable phone for a good price. But about a year in, it would sometimes (every 4 months or so) get into a restart loop, where it would show the Android startup screen, then cycle off and back on again repeatedly. Online research showed that it was a motherboard issue. It was annoying, but I could get the phone to turn back on normally after some effort, like manually resetting multiple times, letting it die and recharging, or plugging it into a computer. But a few days ago, it got stuck on the startup screen and can't be revived. I was hoping to get more than 3 years out of this phone, but I guess that's decent considering the price. Still, I'm not inclined to buy another Samsung phone.

Its a great phone. Has all the basics with a reasonable price. It's not working with ATT network though. Many major carriers in US started to actually block 3G devices. That's what happened with this one. I tried to work with ATT technicians for a few days but it still wouldn't connect. This is not a 4G device as described. I wish I could keep the phone but in my case it'd be useless because it can't connect to ATT 4G network.
