50만원대 괴물 배터리 탑재 'Galaxy M51', European Launch

Record Galaxy Smartphone Battery Capacity at 7000mAh
Equipped with 64MP Quad Camera...Flagship Level

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Samsung Electronics has launched the mid-range smartphone 'Galaxy M51' in Europe, featuring battery and camera specifications elevated to flagship levels.

On the 30th (local time), Samsung Electronics began pre-orders for the mid-range Galaxy M51 smartphone in Germany. The price is 360 euros, approximately 500,000 KRW. It is expected to be released in India and other markets following Europe.

The most eye-catching specification of the Galaxy M51 is undoubtedly its battery. With a capacity of 7000mAh, it is the largest among smartphones and approaches tablet-level capacity. It supports 25W fast charging, allowing a full charge in just 2 hours.

The camera specifications are also at a flagship level. The Galaxy M51 is equipped with a 64-megapixel main lens, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 5-megapixel macro lens, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor camera. The front camera is 32 megapixels and supports a live focus feature that can create an out-of-focus background effect. Compared to the Galaxy Note20 series and others, the camera protrusion is minimal.

The screen size is 6.7 inches and it is available in two colors: white and black. The AP is a Snapdragon 730, a mid-range specification, and it comes with 128GB of memory and 6GB of RAM. Instead of a notch, it features a punch-hole design with a circular cutout for the front camera. The Galaxy M51 is equipped with One UI Core, designed specifically for mid-range phones, instead of One UI 2.0 or 2.5 versions.

Samsung Electronics' expansion of mid-range product lines such as the Galaxy A and M series is interpreted as a strategy to maintain global market share while countering the aggressive price-performance competition from Chinese manufacturers.

Samsung Electronics maintains a leading position in the European market, but competition with Chinese manufacturers is intensifying day by day. According to market research firm Canalys, Samsung held a 37% share of the Western European smartphone market in the first quarter, ranking first. Apple was second with 24%, Huawei third with 18%, and Xiaomi fourth with 10%. However, compared to the same period last year, Xiaomi's market share increased by 79 percentage points, while Samsung's share decreased by 21 percentage points. The decline in Samsung's share was greater than Apple's (-8 percentage points).
