Samsung Galaxy M51 could come with Snapdragon 730, up to 8GB RAM

Samsung is working on multiple mid-range smartphones in the Galaxy A and Galaxy M series. We had exclusively reported last month that the company is working on 128GB variants of the Galaxy M31s and the Galaxy M51. Now, the latter has been spotted on Geekbench, revealing certain aspects of the device ahead of the launch.

Going by a new Geekbench listing, the Galaxy M51 (SM-M515F) features an octa-core Snapdragon processor and 8GB of RAM. The processor carries the model number SM6150, so it could either be the Snapdragon 730 or the Snapdragon 675. Since the Galaxy M40 features the Snapdragon 675 SoC, there's a chance of the comparatively costlier Galaxy M51 using the Snapdragon 730 processor.

The Galaxy M51 also seems to be running Android 10, so it will most probably come with One UI 2.0 or One UI 2.1 out of the box. The upcoming smartphone scored 546 points in Geekbench 5.1.1's single-core CPU test and 1,784 points in the multi-core CPU test. The phone is also rumored to come with a quad-camera setup, consisting of a 64MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 image sensor for the primary camera.

We can also expect the Galaxy M51 to sport a Super AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution, an in-display fingerprint reader, a 16MP or better selfie camera, GPS, dual-SIM card slot, LTE, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, a USB Type-C port, and a 5,000mAh or bigger battery with fast charging. However, accurate specifications can only be confirmed closer to the phone's launch.
