The M series is one of Samsung’s most budget-friendly phone lineups and it looks like another entry is coming. We’ve collected all the latest news, leaks and rumours so you can discover everything there is to know about the Galaxy M51.
Already massively popular in India, the M series aims to offer top-of-the-line specs at an affordable price. It’s basically the mid-range A series but even cheaper and we’re excited to see what Samsung can bring to the table at such an enticing price.
The Galaxy M31 launched earlier this summer and we weren’t disappointed. While the phone definitely has its drawbacks, Samsung offers a vibrant AMOLED display and a two-day battery life well worth its £245 price tag.
Read on for all the latest news, leaks and rumours regarding the Galaxy M51. Don’t forget to bookmark this page, as we’ll be updating it regularly as more news rolls in.
Samsung Galaxy M51 release date and price
The Galaxy M51 is expected to launch in India before it arrives anywhere else.
According to a report by MySmartPrice, Samsung initially planned to release the smartphone earlier this year but production delays have since pushed the launch back to September. The source didn’t specify whether the delays are related to Covid-19, but this wouldn’t be the first phone launch pushed back by the pandemic.
There has yet to be any official word on price, but we expect the M51 to cost slightly more than the less powerful £245 M31.
