Samsung has finally brought the Galaxy M51 to India. The phone packs a massive 7,000 mAh battery which is one of the largest in any of the mass produced smartphones today. The smartphone is also priced pretty decently at Rs 24,999, making it a tough competitor to the OnePlus Nord.
The new Galaxy M51 was previously seen on Samsung Germany’s official website, so this is pretty much the same device. It comes with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus Infinity-O display, which means it has a perforated design. It offers a Full-HD + resolution (2340 x 1080 pixels) and a 20: 9 aspect ratio with a maximum brightness of 420 nits. The screen also has Gorilla Glass 3 protection on the top. The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 730G SoC with up to 8GB of RAM. There is also a 6GB RAM variant, while you get 128GB of storage as standard along with the option of microSD card expansion up to 512GB.
The cameras on the back include a 64-megapixel Sony IMX682 sensor with an f / 1.8 lens, with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 5-megapixel macro camera, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. On the front is a 32-megapixel selfie camera with an f / 2.2 lens.
The phone’s 7,000mAh battery supports 25W fast charging that is claimed to fully charge from 0-100 in less than 2 hours or 115 minutes. Other features include a side-mount fingerprint scanner, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS / A-GPS, USB Type-C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Color options include: Electric Blue and Sky Black.
The smartphone is priced at Rs 24,999 for the 6GB RAM variant and Rs 26,999 for the 8GB RAM variant. The phone will go on sale for the first time on September 18 through Amazon India and Samsung.com along with select retail stores. Customers can get a Rs 2,000 discount on HDFC Bank cards if they purchase the phone from Amazon between September 18-20.
