What’s the Galaxy A71 5G Like?

The Galaxy A line has evolved over the years to develop a look and feel that’s distinct from the Note and Galaxy S series. The Galaxy A71 looks a bit like a brick and feels like one too — but in a good way.

The phone is large and has squared-off shoulders and feet. It proudly claims its identity as a rectangular slab of obsidian. You wouldn’t believe that it is roughly the same size as the Galaxy Note 20.

Design and Display of Samsung Galaxy A71

When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy A71 design, it’s all about the huge, 6.7-inch display. Even though it takes up most of the phone’s front, it fits in the hand better than you might expect thanks to the sparse bezels on the sides.

It makes use of Samsung’s Infinity-O screen technology, which we’ve seen on some of the company’s other products, and features a punch-hole camera at the top of the display. The fact that it is in the notification bar keeps it neatly out of the way and prevents it from interfering with normal use.

Even though they have the same lens, the front-facing camera on the A71 takes up more space than it does on the Galaxy A51, which is less expensive. This is due to the Galaxy A71’s Super AMOLED Plus display (vs. the Super AMOLED on the A51), which is thinner and lighter but necessitates a slightly larger camera cut-out.

It’s not a problem, but it’s unfortunate that Samsung wasn’t able to incorporate the smaller design as well.

With dimensions of 163.6 x 76 x 7.7 mm and a weight of 179g, the Galaxy A71 is a manageable size. It is still quite large, though, and it can be difficult to stretch your thumb all the way to the top of the screen when using it with one hand.

Performance and Specs of Samsung Galaxy A71

There’s plenty of power under the hood of the Samsung Galaxy A71, with an octa-core processor and 6GB of RAM in the driver’s seat (8GB in some regions).

The device comes running Android 10, which felt fluid and fast under-finger, and you also get 128GB of storage to play with which, for many, will be more than enough.

If you do run out of room, the Galaxy A71 also has a microSD slot that can accommodate cards up to 512GB in size.

Camera and Battery of Samsung Galaxy A71

One of the big party pieces for the Samsung Galaxy A71 is its cameras. Even in the slightly uncomfortable lighting of the Samsung booth, the front-facing 32MP camera produces high-quality pictures, which should please fans of the selfie.

The Galaxy A71 has four cameras on its back. With a 64MP, f/1.8 main sensor, it produced detailed, well-lit images in our brief test.

However, by tapping an icon on the screen to switch to the 123 degree, 12MP ultra-wide camera, you can fit more of your surroundings into the shot. Additionally, you get 5MP macro and 5MP depth cameras for up-close shots and background blur effects (what Samsung calls Live Focus), respectively.

There are numerous flagship modes and additions, making it a fully featured camera experience.

When it comes to battery life, the Samsung Galaxy A71 might even be a little bit of a star. A larger battery than the ones in the Galaxy S10 Plus (4,100mAh) and Galaxy Note 10 Plus (4,300mAh) has been crammed into the phone by Samsung.

Our hope is that you’ll be able to go close to two full days without needing to find a power outlet, although we don’t know how long it will last on a single charge. In our forthcoming comprehensive Galaxy A71 review, we’ll make sure to put this to the test.

Connectivity and Audio of Samsung Galaxy A71

The Galaxy A71 5G is available unlocked and through every major carrier. Sub-6GHz 5G is supported on AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and unlocked phone models. In addition to supporting millimeter-wave technology now, Verizon’s Ultra Wideband version will also support low-band 5G when it launches later this year.

It’s important to note that 5G is a very different animal from LTE, so you should research your options carefully before making a purchase. The Galaxy A71’s X52 modem, which operates at 400MHz, has half the bandwidth of the Samsung Galaxy 20+’s X55 modem, which operates at 800MHz.

In Philadelphia, we put the phone to the test using T-Mobile’s 5G network. The average download speed was 146.8 Mbps, while the upload speed was about 38.6 Mbps.

Excellent call quality. The earpiece is loud enough to hear in almost any environment at 85 dB. Noise cancellation performed well during our test calls, which were consistently clear on both ends.

Final Verdict on Samsung Galaxy A71 Reviews

In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy A71 is a good 5G phone with solid performance all around on a (relatively) tight budget.

It has many positive features, including a large screen, powerful processor, feature-rich cameras, and a large battery; this could very well be a winning formula at an alluring price.
