The Galaxy A51 was unveiled alongside the Galaxy A71 in December of last year. Since then, both mid-range smartphones have been selling well. According to a new report from market research firm Canalys, the Galaxy A51 was the best-selling Samsung smartphone in the world during Q1 2020.

The report estimates that Samsung sold around 6 million units of the Galaxy A51 in the first quarter of this year. The smartphone was also the third best-selling smartphone in the world, after the iPhone 11 (18 million) and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8/8T (8 million). The South Korean smartphone giant had four devices in the list of world’s top 10 best-selling smartphones during the quarter: Galaxy A51, Galaxy A10s, Galaxy A20s, and Galaxy A01.

Samsung is estimated to have sold 5 million units of the Galaxy A10s, 4 million units of the Galaxy A20s, and more than 3 million units of the Galaxy A01. Other smartphones in the list are the Redmi Note 8 Pro (5 million), iPhone 11 Pro Max (4 million), Redmi 8A (3 million), and iPhone 11 Pro (3 million).

It is equipped with the Exynos 9611 SoC, 4GB/6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage, and a microSD card slot.
