The Galaxy A51 captures a bit better pictures and videos than Xiaomi Poco M3, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not nice for low light photos and videos, and they both have the same sensor size and a camera with a 48 mega-pixels resolution, the Galaxy A51 also counts with a much higher 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution.
