Can I expect secure folder in Samsung M51 in near future ans Samsung pay? 
I know knox is hardware plus software function but its knox secured. Its quite frustrating that Samsung doesn't provide features like secure folder or second space or good app lock in a 25k phone which are available in even 10k phones. Its ok even if Samsung wants to save some cost in terms of knox but give us simple software update like second space or something similar to secure folder. We will be ok with security level of second space in other phones. Atleast give secure app lock for both app and dual app.

I would have even gone for third party apps but they dont work for dual apps. Plus ads and security risk. Basically there is no option to lock dual apps. Samsung can solve it with small software update. These functions can be deal breaker.

yes bro, 3rd party app gives ads
and regarding dual app , app lock i don't think they will do anything as still Samsung only dual messenger instead of dual apps

That's what. Wonder in what world Samsung is living. They need to know what competition is offering. plus Samsung customers pay more for its brand and hardware. It should atlest offer software features that match its competitors.

Secure folder needs Knox and Full one ui.
For app lock S secure is available in galaxy store.
Check if you can hide apps in home screen settings. Screenshot_20201026-140550_One UI Home_5671.jpg

Yes. but again you can search it in launcher. Easily unhide from setting without any password. It even shows up in recent apps and can be opened from there.

It's available in the m51
go to the advance features section in settings and at the bottom you can see the option to lock and mask apps.
Samsung has provided mostly everything and has the best hi overall in my opinion and Knox provide almost privacy.

M31S got Secure folder via Update. So wait some time. Technically M51 is also eligible. If you are lucky Samsung pay too.(You have NFC, right?)
