Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G is much better than the Nokia XR20, with a 90.8 score against 80.8. The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G design is somewhat thinner and noticeably lighter than Nokia XR20, although it was released just 15 months before. Both devices in this review include the same Android 11 operating system, so both of them should provide all the same operating system features.
Nokia XR20 counts with a bit better looking display than Samsung Galaxy A51 5G, because although it has a quite worse pixel count per inch in the screen, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, the Nokia XR20 also counts with a little larger screen. The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G counts with a slightly better memory to store more games and applications than Nokia XR20, and although they both have exactly the same 128 GB internal storage, the Samsung Galaxy A51 5G also has a SD memory card expansion slot that allows up to 1000 GB.
The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G counts with just a little better hardware performance than Nokia XR20. Both have a 6 GB RAM memory and the same number of cores. Nokia XR20 has a bit superior battery life than Galaxy A51 5G, because it has 4630mAh of battery capacity. Samsung Galaxy A51 5G features a little bit better camera than Nokia XR20, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is worse for low light photography, and they both have the same resolution camera, the Samsung Galaxy A51 5G also counts with a much higher (4K) video definition and a bigger sensor.
Even being the best phone of the ones we compare here, the Galaxy A51 5G is also a lot cheaper, making it an obvious call.
