Back in December, Samsung launched the Galaxy A51, the mid-range successor to the Galaxy A50. Priced at $399, this mid-range smartphone is a strong competitor to the Apple iPhone SE and upcoming Google Pixel 4a. The phone was launched in the U.S. early last month and is already available through multiple carriers and retailers. Now, the Samsung Galaxy A51 can be purchased directly through AT&T and Comcast's Xfinity Mobile.

To recap, the Samsung Galaxy A51 features a large 6.5-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a centered hole-punch cutout (Samsung calls this an "Infinity-O" display). This hole-punch cutout houses the single 32MP front-facing camera. On the rear, there's a quad camera setup consisting of a 48MP primary wide-angle camera, a 12MP ultra-wide angle camera, a 5MP dedicated macro camera, and a 5MP depth sensor. Internally, the phone is powered by the Samsung Exynos 9611 processor, a 4000mAh battery, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage (expandable via a microSD card). The phone supports 15W wired charging via the included USB Type-C charger. The Galaxy A51 runs Samsung's One UI 2.0 software on top of Android 10.

On AT&T and Xfinity Mobile, you can pick up the Samsung Galaxy A51 in Prism Crush Black for a full retail price of $399. You'll pay $13.34/month for 30 months under AT&T's Installment Plan with delivery between May 5-7. Xfinity Mobile is offering the phone for $16.66/month for 24 months, but you can bring this down to $12.25/month for 24 months for a total of $100 off if you add a new line and transfer a number. Expected delivery from Xfinity Mobile is May 8th.

The Samsung Galaxy A51 has an impressive set of specifications on paper, and because of its $399 price point, it's widely compared to the new Apple iPhone SE. Although the Pixel 4a hasn't been released yet, we can expect it go toe-to-toe with the Galaxy A51 based on what we've heard from leaks and rumors. There's also a 5G Galaxy A51 coming later this year, but we don't know its pricing or availability yet.
