A tip : Turn off 'Always on display' option to stop battery draining because it drains the battery much

It is beyond me why so many phone manufacturers choose to ignore the importance of sound quality in phones, specifically using stereo speakers. For older users, sound can be especially important to choose a phone. I personally will choose a stereo phone over 108 or even 64-megapixel cameras for anything costing over 200 dollars. There has been way too much emphasis put on cameras. Instead of cell phones that take pictures, smartphones have become miniature digital cameras that happen to make phone calls

2:20 that's the weirdest SIM tray design i've ever seen

[SomeTechnicalDude]

Please stop saying that metal and glass backing for phones is somehow better. There is really NO case where glass is better. Plastic is the most durable, doesn't shatter, doesn't dent and is cheap. All of this aesthetically pleasing material is sitting under a case for most people anyway.

I have Samsung A31 6/128GB good performance 🖒

The processor P65 is actually pretty good. It has modern Arm Cortex-A55 and Arm Cortex-A75 processing cores, which is way better than Exynos 9611 (A51). Not only the battery is bigger, but also the processor is more efficient. So, it is actually a very good question: why would you spend more for A51? Beacuse of better graphic card performance? Not worth it.

124 hours GSMA battery result is good 👍...

I hate it when they are like "uhhh u can find better for the same price or more" what? which phones can i find that are better for the same price?
Edit: Not being sarcastic i genuinely want to know

Just got this phone. Been liking it so far.

My only annoying features would be the time takennto register my finger prints. Had to try 3 to 4 times before it finally registered my fingerprints. I'm liking the phone a lot so far.

5:20 you guys just added video camera review of A51 here, maybe because the cameras in both are identical??
