Review covers Samsung Galaxy A51. The verified product-data labels bind this public model name to code SM-A515FZKVEUB, and the original publisher article independently supplies the editorial score. This is not proof that the supplier supplied this review URL, or that the reviewer tested this colour or included accessories.

Flagship phones are getting more expensive. While there was once a time when you could get the best of the best for $600 to $700, these days you'll have to shell out at least $900. The result? Midrange phones have to get better too — and that's where the...

In fact, the mere existence of the Redmi Note 8T presents a bit of a problem for Samsung. Xiaomi's budget beauty is just as good – if not better in some cases – than the A51, and it costs £150 less. On value terms alone, the Redmi Note 8T is a worthy pick...
