There are many terminals that during the year 2020 have left us a good taste in our mouths and among them we find the Poco X3 NFC and the Galaxy A51 5G , a renewed version. This is complicated when we have to stay with one of the two terminals, since they share similar characteristics, but in turn have certain differences that will mark the purchase option.
To make it simpler and easier for you, we are going to put all the characteristics of these two terminals face to face, so we buy the cameras and even the battery, so that once you decide on one of them, it will be a success. As for the price, we also have the pocket very in gutter and the configuration options by which we can take them.
Screen, design and finishes
A very important section when comparing both phones is in what we see on the outside, where the Poco X3 and the Galaxy A51 with a plastic design may seem the same but things are not like that. Samsung achieves a more premium feeling with its glossy finish, something that is also maintained in the AMOLED of the Galaxy A51 5G with 6.5 inches and very tight frames. Meanwhile, in the Poco X3 specifications we see a 6.67 ″ IPS panel, which is a greater weight than is noticeable in hand.
From behind the position of the cameras depends on our tastes, although in front we have a front hole that follows the latest fashions. As a final point, the Poco X3 has a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch response, which gives it a point in its favor.
Qualcomm’s Brain vs. Samsung
Inside, the hardware of the models is led by a mid-range processor such as the Snapdragon 732G and on the part of Samsung the Exynos 980 is the one who moves everything in Samsung’s Galaxy A51 5G mobile. The two work without any problem since they are manufactured in 8 nanometers and have a clock frequency of 2.2 Ghz and 2.3 Ghz.
In the memory options that we find we have only 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory in the Galaxy A51 5G. On the part of Poco we have 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of memory inside, in both cases with the option of using a MicroSD card to expand the memory. It will be a wise choice to buy either of the two models because of the power they offer.
Quadruple camera with changes
The rear of both devices is led by 4 rear lenses that slightly change possibilities. First we see 64 Mpx and 48 Mpx lenses for Samsung and Poco respectively , which gives us a high level of detail in both. The second entity is the wide angle that is not lacking in any of them with 13 and 12 Mpx. Their lenses continue leaving us options with a macro advisor and a 5 Mpx macro lens in Samsung for each one and 2 Mpx for Poco.
We cannot finish deciding without knowing what is in the front lens, which is 32 Mpx for the selfies of the Galaxy A51 5G and 20 Mpx for the Poco X3 NFC. Video recording is another important point, where both have options based on AI, in addition to digital stabilizer and 4K recording.
Battery and connectivity, another major key
The incorporation of 5G technology for the Galaxy A51 gives it an added value with which Poco cannot compete. But in addition to this, we find Bluetooth 5.0, audio jack on both phones, GPS and of course USB Type C. The battery cells reach 4,500 mAh in the Galaxy A51 5G, while Poco improves the battery up to 5160 mAh . We will then have to decide between preferring 5G or a larger battery.
The layers of customization are another point to deal with, as we have to choose between One UI 3.0 on the Galaxy A51 and between MIUI 12 for the Poco X3. The two terminals with Android 11 and that will make the leap to the next versions of Android and their respective layers, which are very different from each other.
Prices and recommendation
To finish we look at their prices, where we come across a price of around 200 euros for the Poco X3 NFC and 350 euros for Samsung. The noticeable price difference , although this is due to Samsung’s improved build and the possibility of 5G that Samsung offers us. In other sections the differences are minimal. So the keys to choosing one or the other model are your own.
In our opinion, the complete option with 6 GB and 128 GB from Samsung is very good, offering the latest in connectivity and design, but Little with such a significant drop in price makes it very difficult for all those who are based on a smaller budget.
