I've had this phone for less than a year. As of tonight it has completely stopped charging. I've spent two hours on the phone with Samsung to get absolutely nowhere except now I have to spend my entire day tomorrow driving to the one somewhat local place to see if they can fix it This phone is...

The Samsung Galaxy A71 offers a cheaper path to 5G service if that’s important to you, but otherwise it’s only a decent $600 phone. For hundreds less, the Pixel 4a and iPhone SE are better in almost every respect, save for battery life, while the OnePlus Nord is a much more well-rounded sub-$500 5G...

Good battery life, Solid performance, 5G support, Big OLED display

Tons of bloatware, Cameras are just decent, No wireless charging, Frustrating fingerprints sensor, A bit pricey for what it is

The Samsung Galaxy A71 packs in a big 6.7-inch display, four rear cameras and a huge 4,500mAh battery at a price point which won't break the bank. It could well be a winning formula.

Big; colorful screen; Huge battery; Premium camera experience

No water resistance; No wireless charging

So, do we think that the Galaxy A71 is a decent upgrade from its predecessor, the A70? Yes, absolutely. It retains the same screen size as the A70 but has leveled up in several aspects, such as its chipset, RAM, and overall look.

Visually pleasing design; Immersive and large Super AMOLED Plus display; Good selfie camera; Long battery life; Decent performance

The Galaxy A71 is an excellent overall smartphone with touches of what makes Samsung flagships great. It’s a gorgeous device with some of the best mid-range hardware plus a set of decent shooters to boot.

In the past, it was always a little hard to recommend mid-range Samsung smartphones. Despite being the largest smartphone maker in the world, with a wealth of products across pretty much every price point and major market, Samsung’s affordable devices always scored poorly on the price-to-performance...

Samsung's A-series continues to impress on software, features, and connectivity

About an hour to charge from dead, Flagship-like in-hand feel and design, Anti-fingerprint coloration and design; 6.7-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display, Responsive, bright display, 5G support works as expected, Bluetooth 5.0, Performance feels like a flagship, Flagship software-side features only...

Less than impressive battery drain; Plastic construction; Night Mode camera isn't great by any stretch; Slow fingerprint scanner; Camera is often better with scene optimizer turned off

We highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy A71 especially if you are looking for a more premium phone but doesn’t want to spend as much as buying a flagship. It has a great screen, great build, good cameras, stable videos, decent battery life and also support for Android 10 and its next version.

Samsung's one of the biggest smartphone players around, and while we drool over cutting-edge devices like the Note20 or Fold2, these luxury handsets are hardly its primary business.

Display Big, bright, colorful, and I don't even mind the punch-out; Endurance Between the 4,500mAh battery and the efficient Snapdragon chip, you shouldn't be running out of juice anytime soon; Cameras Even without a telephoto option, the A71 easily takes some pretty nice shots.

Durability Plastic body scratches easily, no IP rating so don't get this wet; Charging No wireless charging support; Speaker I love having an analog headphone jack, but with a speaker this underwhelming, I hate how much you need it.

The second of Samsung’s two new Galaxy A series phones, the Samsung Galaxy A71 aims to offer to offer the desirable trinity of features for aspiring phone owners – a large and vibrant screen, a good camera and, as they are wont to put it, awesome battery life.
