Samsung Galaxy A51 counts with a bit better camera than Xperia 5 II, because although it has a tinier sensor capturing less light and duller colors, slower 30 frames per second video frame rates and a tinier aperture which is not good for low-light photography, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Samsung Galaxy A51 also counts with a back-facing camera with way more megapixels.
Although Xperia 5 II is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Samsung Galaxy A51, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Samsung Galaxy A51. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy Xperia 5 II, otherwise you can save some dollars and get the Samsung Galaxy A51, letting go some features and specs.
