The Galaxy A51 shoots much better photos and videos than Galaxy A50, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not recommended for low-light photography, it also counts with a camera in the back with lot more mega-pixels, a lot larger camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a much higher video quality.
