As we had anticipated, the Korean manufacturer has formalized two new smartphones: the Galaxy A51 5G and A71 5G. These are 5G variants of the popular Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71. There are, however, some differences between the models.
A bigger battery, more RAM and a new processor
The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G and Galaxy A71 5G use the SoC Exynos 980 5G from Samsung, we have known since September 2019. This SoC uses a CPU composed of 8 cores including two Cortex-A77 clocked at 2.2 GHz and six Cortex-A55 at 1.8 GHz and the graphics are managed by a MALU-G76 MP5 GPU.
Characteristics inferior to those of Exynos 9825, present on Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus, which makes sense given that it’s a mid-range SoC for Samsung. These smartphones also benefit from more RAM, 6 or 8 GB depending on the versions (against 4 GB for the Galaxy A51 for example).
| Samsung | Galaxy A51 5G | Galaxy A71 5G |
|---|---|---|
| Screen | 6.5 inch FHD + Super AMOLED Infinity-O screen (1080 x 2400 pixels) |
6.7 inch FHD + Super AMOLED Infinity-O screen (1080 x 2400 pixels) |
| Rear camera | Main: 48 MP, f / 2.0 Ultra wide-angle: 12 MP, f / 2.2 Depth: 5MP, f / 2.2 Macro: 5MP, f / 2.4 |
Main: 64 MP, f / 1.8 Ultra wide-angle: 12 MP, f / 2.2 Depth: 5MP, f / 2.2 Macro: 5MP, f / 2.4 |
| Front camera | 32 MP, f / 2.2 | 32 MP, f / 2.2 |
| Body | 73.6 x 158.9 x 8.7 mm 187 grams |
75.5 x 162.5 x 8.1 mm 185 grams |
| Memory and storage | 6 GB / 8 GB RAM 128 GB internal storage Micro SD slot (up to 1 TB) |
6 GB / 8 GB RAM 128 GB internal storage Micro SD slot (up to 1 TB) |
| Drums | 4500 mAh Fast charge 15 W |
4500 mAh Fast charge 25 W |
Both devices are delivered with a larger 4,500 mAh battery, against 4000 mAh for the 4G versions only. Samsung opted for larger battery capacities because 5G consumes more energy than 4G.

The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G and A71 5G have just been formalized in the United States, but not yet in Europe. As a reminder, the 5G is still not launched in France. Initially planned for June 2020, the launch of 5G will certainly take place during the second half of 2020.
Here are the first smartphones from Samsung which represent the Korean manufacturer’s effort to gradually democratize 5G, by making it integrate more affordable products than its premium models sold at four figures.
