Samsung had launched the Galaxy A51 mid-range smartphone in the United States in April this year. Now, the company is all set to launch the 5G variant of the same this week in the U.S. but the exact launch date is not yet known.
Currently, the Samsung Galaxy A71 is the only 5G smartphone in the Galaxy A-series from the company in the United States. Thus, the launch of Galaxy A51 5G will mark the second 5G mid-range device from Samsung in the U.S., in line with the company’s promise of launching 5G models of A-series phones.
The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G will be available for $500 through T-Mobile and Verizon, starting from 7th August. The device will compete with the likes of Pixel 4a and iPhone SE, both of which lack 5G support.
The Galaxy A51 5G variant was launched in China a couple of months ago. It is powered by the company’s own Exynos 980 chipset with SA/NSA 5G support. However, there are reports suggesting that the model for the U.S. will be powered by the Snapdragon 765G SoC. It could come with 6/8GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage.
