Hi,

They are the NFC antenna as well as some other antennas.

If one of them got damaged you may have signalling problems, either with GSM or NFC depending on which one was damaged.

Here’s the ifixit Samsung Galaxy A51 Teardown guide, see Step 3.

Hi @l83

I don't know. I have done further research and I'm sure that it is not for the WiFi or BT (have amended my answer above).

Also I cannot find the individual component as a spare part, but if you can't find it either then here's the part number for the mid frame GH98-45033B.

If you search online using this part number "only" in the search box, you will get results for suppliers
