- 4G Connectivity: A number of users have complained that they experienced difficulties turning on mobile data on their devices from the notification bar. At the end of the day, they needed to reboot the smartphone or navigate to settings to enable mobile data from there.
To resolve this issue, try getting the latest software updates on your device. Go to settings , check software update , click download update and wait for update to complete. Then reboot your phone and check out if the 4G is working better now.
- The Samsung Galaxy A51 refuses to update: This peculiar problem has been reported by a handful of users, as the Galaxy A51 did not start the reboot-flash-boot sequence on the stock ROM. If this has ever happened to you, you can first off, free up some storage space, after doing this, you can navigate to the Updater app and clear cache and data.
If none of the tips above help you bypass this issue, then try booting this device into recovery and wipe the cache partition.
- Brightness problems: The Samsung Galaxy A51 has a very impressive Super AMOLED display with wonderful viewing angles and good brightness reaching up to 565 nits when the Adaptive Brightness is enabled. However, a number of users have encountered issues with this display, as the display dims even when the adaptive brightness setting is disabled.
To solve this problem, you can try rebooting this device to see if the problem is reversed, if it is not, try the Test code #0# to see if your display has any factory errors. If none of the tips above are helpful, you can try a factory reset.
- UI freezing and animation lags: Users of the Samsung Galaxy A51 reported a number of issues with the OneUI, with some saying that the device freezes, with transition animations lagging too. If you’ve been facing this issue, you can try:
- Rebooting your smartphone.
- Try booting your device in Safe Mode and check out for improvements, if there are, lower the animation scale in Developer options from 1 to 0.5 or totally disable them.
- Limit the number of background apps in Developer options.
- Update the firmware and reset the device to factory settings.
These steps should help you take care of a number of software-related issues troubling your Samsung Galaxy A51. But if your issue stems from physical damage, then you should get a technician to take a look at your device.

MobilityArena Buyer’s Guide Verdict
Zen Admire Shine is one of the cheapest smartphones in any market. Which is why it has a tiny 4-inch screen, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage memory, a 1750 mAh battery and runs the dated Android 7.0 Nougat!
But its major stand out feature is that it offers 4G LTE at that price point. There are phones that cost almost 3 times its price and do not offer 4G. So, if you are looking for a basic smartphone that you can use as a secondary device, and perhaps as a 4G mobile hotspot, you should consider the Admire Shine.
It costs about the same as a mifi and gives you the additional benefit of telephone and smartphone functionaility.
Our Buyer’s Guide Verdict is recommendation that we make based on our evaluation the specs of the phone or device. It is a general guide designed to help you understand how much value a smartphone offers for its price. It is not a stamp of quality assessment or an endorsement of either the device or of its manufacturers. Be sure to ask questions and use your judgement when buying any device, as MobilityArena may not be held responsible for your buying decisions .

Zen Admire Shine Alternatives and Comparisons
Alternative cheap 4G phones are not plenty at that price point, but there are a few. You should look at the Lava Z50 Pro , which was released around the same time, offers similar specs (including 4G support) and is available at a similar price. Both phones are available in Nigeria and India.
