Samsung Galaxy M51 design: Glossy fingerprint magnet

I did spend some time with the Galaxy M51₹ 22,499 when the smartphone was first launched, and wrote my first impressions of it. I did have a few concerns about its size and weight, but after using this smartphone for a few days I can say that it is easy to live with. One might think that a 7,000mAh battery would make a phone very bulky, but that isn't the case here. Samsung has managed to distribute the weight quite well, and the phone doesn't feel like it'll tip over. However, it weighs 213g and you will feel this after using it for a while.

Samsung has gone with an Infinity-O display, which means there's a hole at the centre of the top of the screen for the front camera. The screen borders are thin all around. The display measures 6.7 inches and has a tall 20:9 aspect ratio. This makes it hard to reach the top of the display while holding the smartphone in one hand. There is Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on the display.

Samsung has gone with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner embedded into the power button. It's well positioned and I could unlock the smartphone quite easily while holding it in either hand. The volume buttons are also on the same side but sit higher, making them a little tough to reach. You still get a 3.5mm headphone jack on the Galaxy M51, and it's positioned at the bottom along with the USB Type-C port and speaker.
