The Galaxy A51 design is just a little bit lighter and just a little thinner than the LG V50 ThinQ, even when they were released with only 8 months difference. These phones have Android OS (Operating System), but Galaxy A51 has a more recent 11 version and LG V50 ThinQ has Android 10.
LG V50 ThinQ features a little sharper display than Galaxy A51, because although it has a little bit smaller display, it also counts with a better screen density and a higher 1440 x 3120px resolution. The LG V50 ThinQ counts with a lot bigger memory capacity to store more games and applications than Galaxy A51, and although they both have the same 128 GB internal storage, the LG V50 ThinQ also has a SD card slot that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB.
LG V50 ThinQ counts with a little better processing power than Galaxy A51, and although they both have 8 cpu cores, the LG V50 ThinQ also has a greater amount of RAM. The LG V50 ThinQ's battery performance is very similar to the Galaxy A51 one. The Samsung Galaxy A51 takes much better photos and videos than LG V50 ThinQ, because although it has a lot tinier diafragm aperture which is not recommended for capturing images and videos in low light situations and slower 30 fps video frame rate, and they both have the same (4K) video definition, the Samsung Galaxy A51 also counts with a camera with a way better resolution and a lot bigger back-facing camera sensor.
Although Galaxy A51 is a better device, it costs more money than LG V50 ThinQ, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the LG V50 ThinQ. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy Galaxy A51, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the LG V50 ThinQ, letting go a couple features and specs.
