Samsung‘s strategy of releasing premium smartphones on all front have been yielding result. The most spectacular is the A-series with several popular models. The Galaxy A51 was launched in January this year but Samsung is planning to release a 5G version which would bring 5G connectivity at affordable pricing.

The Galaxy A51 5G has now been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, an indication that the model will be released soon. The smartphone appeared with the codename SM-A516N. The listing shows the 5G version of the Galaxy A51 will support Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac standards on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. The model is equally listed to boot Android 10 out of the box which will definitely be with the One UI 2 overlay.

The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G had appeared earlier on GeekBench with a few details in tow. The device features an in-house Exynos 980 SoC integrated with a 5G modem as well as 6GB of RAM, apparently on the base model. The phone is expected to retain the L-shaped camera setup, punch hole design and a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen on the Galaxy A51 4G version.

There is no word yet as to when the premium 5G smartphone will be launched.
