@hiera: If you were happy with the Galaxy A5, then I would look no further than the Galaxy A20e or A21s as both are amazing value with decent specs. If you know what features mean the most to you (screen size, performance, battery etc) then we have a useful feature on our website that can help you find the best device to suit your needs.

I have to say, as you have an a5 DON'T go for anything less than an a41. The a20e and a21 have barely better performance than the at 2017 (just check geelbench if you don't believe me) the camera on the a20e is the same (13mp as the a5) and both a20 devices have low quality 720p tft LCD displays as opposed to the marvellous 1080p oled on the a5 2017. I'd say, as you like smaller devices like the a5, you should go for the galaxy a41. Noticeably better performance, camera and similarly great screen and design. If you are fine with something bigger though, the a51 for a small amount more offers better performance and design if you want. I hope I helped!

I've just taken delivery of the Samsung A51 5G, I'd highly recommend it.  It's got slight performance upgrades on the A51, obviously it's got 5G ability so is future proofed, upped cpu and 6Gb ram.

Do you think the 6gb ram will be fine for 3 or so years? I was thinking of the a51 5g but was unsure about this. Also, how is the camera?

Yes, the 6Gb should be fine for 2 to 3yrs.  The 5G is a push for any phone as its a battery drain. 

 

Uploaded a pic for review.  It's got tons of settings.
