High end m series has 2ca starting m40.. if u are taking m51 don't expect the battery backup like that of 7000 mah which it has, the battery optimisation is not good. Other matters like display , ui ,camera are all good. Plus it has a Snapdragon 730g which is the snapdragon phone in the m series. So perfomance won't be matter. Plus maybe u will be getting 2 ca with it also
I've been looking for real buyers reviews of this phone too. Have you checked Amazon? People usually only leave reviews if something is wrong or they are excited for the new gadget.
Initial experiences:
- Adaptive brightness/ Ambient Display: Frequent screen flickering and unstable; had to disable.
- Fingerprint Scanner: Poor quality, frequently asks you to wipe..
- No preapplied screen film or back-case supplied.
At first glance it looks a bit bulky. Camera, display etc. are satisfactory. Overall GOOD non Chinese phone.
However, for their improvement, I tried to give some critical feedback to the company over phone but it was not so easy, so, I am writing here sothat Samsung India can take this critical review for their improvement.
Battery:
Battery is 7K mha but it is draining so fast that its overall backup time is slightly better than any other average phone.
User Interface:
User interface needs tremendous improvement. You can't take screenshot easily. You need to learn fine motor coordination between your fingers and power&volume button with microsecond precision. After three days I discovered taking screenshot by swapping screen. But this easy method for taking screenshot is not easy to find in its setting section. Automatic redial isn't available. also in setting section, searching for basic operation like redial, call waiting etc are either missing or very difficult to access. UI should be more intelligent and intuitive. Call recording should take permission from user before it starts recording any call.
Dolby Sound:
Dolby sound effect is excellent but its available only for external speaker. Inbuilt speaker don't have Dolby effect. You hv to buy headphone or external speaker for experiencing Dolby sound effect. Its Dolby software is so impressive that its work on a cheapest headphone but Samsung's own inbuilt speaker doesn't.
External Outlook:
Read somewhere that this phone has 3D prism like glastic body. GLASTIC seems to be a discovery of new material (Glass+Plastic) because its looks transparent and shining. But in reality, its a cheap looking smooth and slippery plastic back body. Also, Its prone to scratches neither its water resistant. Sometimes it generates heat. In this price segment, Samsung can easily provide metallic back for better appearance and transfer of heat.
Overall, its good non chini phone with good camera and display, a bit bulky, satisfactory speed, scope of tremendous improvement in UI and setting, and bit overpriced.

Call quality is poor. When loud speaker is on, Cannot hear properly on the other side, call is muffled or breaking. Do someone else face this similar issue ? Is there any way to fix. I could not raise a ticket to contact either Amazon or samsung. Camera quality is also average. Hated it.
Updated review after 20 days
Started facing charging issues
Stopped charging suddenly, don't know what to do
No more replacement from Amazon
Nice lesson learnt:
1. Don't fall into the trap of extensive hype of a product
2. Don't believe youtubers reviews just before experiencing atleast 30 days of usage.
3. Don't buy a product on its first day of launch
4. Read the return and replacement policy thoroughly before buying.

I am giving this review after spending 20 days with this Phone. I am a retail user and after 6 year of Redmi and realme user now buy the Samsung just because of Samsung+Snapdragon and very much dispointed. Here are some Pros and Cons which will help other user like me to decide whether they will buy it or not.
Cons :
1. No Haptic Feedback
2. Low sound quality speaker at Rs 25K
3. No apps lock features inbuilt
4. No Case Cover in Box
5. Plain Plastic back design at 25K which attract too much scratches.
6. Samsung trusted Knox security not fully enable on this phone i.e no secure folder option.
7. When Sealed Package open then phone display contain so much dust. Not expected the packaging like this from brand like Samsung.
8. Gorila Glass 3 protection under 25k i.e out dated glass protection after using 2 days with full care i got one scratch mark on display.
9. NFC given but Samsung Pay not there in this phone.
10. Audio output in my boat rockers bluetooth headset with this phone is not as much as lound as compare to my previous phone Redmi Note 7 pro.
11. Without using phone it take 2 hour to charge but when you use it frequently then it take 2.30-3 hour to charged it full from 0-100%.
12. Full battery drained in 12 hour with non stop used including youtube, whatsapp Facebook, messaging, etc except game.
13. No Carrier aggregation: Using Jio sim in Samsung M51 and realme X2 pro and both contain different net speed in which Samsung giving me 5mbps and realme x2 pro giving me 9-10mbps.
14. Calling issue: while talking through ear piece on call, the person can hear my voice clearly. But if i put the call on loudspeaker, the receiver of call cant hear my voice or he hear my sound very low. Turning back to earpiece the person is able to hear me again.
15. Camera Zoom quality is not good. When you focus on Sky whole pic turn into blue. i.e saturation level is too much high in this phone (Image attached).
16. While watching movie video in this phone or playing video in youtube brightness fluctuate fast too much automatically i.e Adaptive Brightness issue.
Pros :
1. Super amoled plus display
2. Camera quality Good
3. 7000 Mah battery
4. Till now Ram management is good
To much hype created every where for this phone and due to this many user like me has purchased this phone but this phone under 25k is really not value for money. I am going to resale this phone. There are so many phone below 25k with best facilities as compare to this Samsung m51.
Conclusion : Phone is overpriced and performance is average
Cons :
1. No Haptic Feedback
2. Low sound quality speaker at Rs 25K
3. No apps lock features inbuilt

After 48 hours of usage
Very much excited when I saw the specs. but!!!!
Pros:
1. Display
2. Procesor SD730G
3. Camera
4. Fast charging
Cons:
1. audio not loud getting crack sound in speaker mode
2. Battery (it's 7000Mah) but discharging quickly(I didn't play games, I used it only calls, and YouTube). I felt like its a 4000Mah.
3. Backside material looks very cheap. attracts lots of fingerprints
4. Price is very high.
5. Back case is not provided. (Phone is slippery need to handle with care or buy back case).
After all, I feel this phone average for this price. (*** stars)
if the price is 19999/- with this specs my price is (***** stars)

what is meant by CA?
I really can't see the appeal for M51.
It's got a huge battery but all user reviews says it just a tiny bit better than chinese phones with 4000mah ones.
Going with the "bang for the buck" perspective, poco x3 exists, it's cheaper, has a marginally better gpu, probably will get more updates than samsung.
If you really want an amoled display and you prefer samsung over everything, then yeah maybe it's a good deal.

Does amoled panel makes a huge difference in viewing experience? Never used one before.
Well i am an amoled user, I can say if u are an amoled user u won't prefer lcd display anymore. The downside is high repair costs
