Aside from the Galaxy A71s 5G for Verizon, Samsung at present seems to exist developing a Milky way A51 5G variant for the same US-bound carrier. An unannounced Milky way device carrying model number SM-A516V has popped up in the online benchmark Geekbench and was approved by the Wi-Fi Alliance and the NFC Forum earlier this month.

Co-ordinate to the benchmark, the Galaxy A51 5G for Verizon (SM-A516V) is equipped with a Qualcomm-fabricated viii-core chipset paired with 6GB of RAM. The motherboard'south codenamed 'lito' suggests this SoC is none other than the Snapdragon 765G. Both Geekbench and the Wi-Fi Brotherhood confirm the device runs Android 10, presumably with One UI version 2.1 on top.

It might be released as the Galaxy A51s 5G UW

Between the Galaxy A51 5G having model number SM-A516 and the aforementioned Milky way A71s 5G UW beingness identified by model number SM-A716V, it's logical to assume that the new SM-A516V model number might be corresponding to a so-called Milky way A51s 5G UW meant for Verizon.

Samsung outset announced the Exynos-powered Galaxy A51 5G for the United states of america market in early on-April. The phone is supposed to exist released in the land by the terminate of the summer for $499.99. Verizon'south model would presumably go on sale around the same time and for roughly the same toll, merely simply time will tell exactly how else it will differ from the non-Verizon variant aside from having an Snapdragon 765G chipset instead of the Exynos 980.
