We know that Samsung has a solid reputation in the mobile phone world, and this is something they have earned over the years producing handset after handset that customers love. From their flagship Note and S series to a myriad of other offerings across the board they never fail to impress or hit the mark. 

Samsung Galaxy A71 Design and Screen

Announced in December 2019 with a market date at the end of January 2020 this is another big-screen offering, that although doesn't quite qualify for an infinity moniker thanks to the small bezel around the outside, does draw the eye and is particularly attractive. To be fair, the screen takes up most of the front, and the camera has been shrunk down to fit in the small pinhole cut out in the centre at the top. The front screen has the robust Corning Gorilla Glass 3 while the back is plastic which makes it perfect for those who are out and about a lot and want something more durable. 

It is slightly larger than some of the other handsets in the range and is a nice 6.7 inches which we know to be a really popular size at the moment. This is in part due to the fact that users are choosing to play online games or watch movies on their phone and with some stunning data packages, this is made so much easier. The screen is a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 16M colours, has an aspect ratio of 20:9, features 1080 x 2400 pixels and 393 PPI which combine to offer a crystal clear viewing experience. 

On the rear of the phone, you will notice that there are four lenses which is impressive for a handset at this level and they are located in a neat rectangular housing. Within the housing, the three main lenses form a traffic light stack and next to that the fourth lens and LED flash. There is a single Samsung branding, and the colour of the case is multi-tonal and has a cross-hatch type shading. It comes in Prism, Crush Black, Silver, Blue, or Pink

Samsung Galaxy A71 Audio

Audio is something that Samsung does well, so this handset offers a great performance either using headphones or the built-in speaker. They have chosen to retain the standard 3.5mm headphone jack, which is good news for fans of wired cans. The loudspeaker is crisp and produces a rich sound that is perfect for streaming music or watching your favourite catch-up television. 

Samsung Galaxy A71 Camera

So, as we have said, there are four lenses in the rear camera housing, and this is spectacular offering you a photography performance as good as high street cameras. The primary lens is a 64 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1/1.7", 0.8µm, PDAF, and this is supported by the remaining trio of a 12 MP, f/2.2, 13mm (ultrawide), 1.12µm, a 5 MP, f/2.4, (wide), dedicated macro camera and a 5 MP, f/2.2, 1/5.0", 1.12µm, depth sensor with the expected panorama, HDR and LED flash. On the front, there is a single-lens selfie camera which is a great spec, coming in at 32 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/2.8", 0.8µm with HDR.

Samsung Galaxy A71 Features and Performance

Under the hood we find a Qualcomm chipset which is one of the best on the market, guaranteeing this handset a good amount of punch which is perfect for speed and processing. The Qualcomm SDM730 Snapdragon 730 (8 nm) combines with the Octa-core (2x2.2 GHz Kryo 470 Gold & 6x1.8 GHz Kryo 470 Silver) CPU and Adreno 618 GPU for a solid performance every time. In terms of software, you have Android 10.0 and a One UI 2 skin which gives the Samsung familiarity. 

The supporting battery is 4500 mAh which is a serious size and therefore you can be confident that you can go out and about away from a charger and still have juice left at the end of the day. It is a wired only charger but features fast charge so you won't have to wait long to use it. 

There are two storage options on offer, 128GB 6GB RAM or 128GB 8GB RAM and these are both large capacity, but should this not be enough you also have the dedicated microSDXC slot which means you can boost it up as needed. 

Summary

The Samsung Galaxy A71 is a lovely handset that will not break the bank but still features the trademarks of a Samsung handset. It has plenty to offer and will be the perfect handset for many users.
