Presently, the Samsung Galaxy A51 5G will be available in South Korea alone. It comes with a price tag of 572,000 KRW, which is roughly Rs. 35,560. Samsung is bringing out the handset in multiple color variants, which are Prism Crush White, Prism Crush Black, and Prism Crush Pink.

The sale will begin on May 7, but there's still no word when it would be available in the global market.
