The Samsung Galaxy A71 is an Android-based smartphone designed, developed and manufactured by Samsung Electronics as part of its sixth-generation Galaxy A series. It was announced in December 2019 and released in January 2020, alongside the Galaxy A51.[5] Key upgrades over the previous model, the Samsung Galaxy A70, include the Android 10 operating system, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset, and the camera system.

It also had two 5G versions, with UW and without UW. The latter was announced on April 2020 and released on June 2020,[6][7] while the former was announced and released on July 2020.[8][9] A South Korean variant, called Samsung Galaxy A Quantum, was released on May 2020.[10]

Specifications

Design

The LTE version of the Galaxy A71 had a similar body build as its predecessor, while the 5G version now brings an aluminum frame (a first since the relaunch of the Galaxy A series in 2019) but still has the same glossy plastic back from the LTE version. The back pattern varies by variant: the LTE model features a prism crystal pattern, the 5G non-UW model has a two-tone design, and the 5G UW model having a brick-styled pattern.[11]

Hardware

Display

All variants of the Galaxy A71 have a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus Infinity-O display with an FHD+ (1080×2400) resolution with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a ~393 ppi density with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It also has an in-display optical fingerprint sensor.[12]

Battery

It comes with a non-removable 4500 mAh lithium polymer battery which charges with a 25W Super Fast Charger.[1]

Processor and Memory

The LTE version of the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset.[13] The 5G variant is powered by Exynos 980, while the 5G UW uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G.[14] The phone comes with either 6 GB or 8 GB RAM, as well as 128 GB internal storage (which uses UFS[15]), which can be expanded via a microSD card of up to 512 GB.

Cameras

The Samsung Galaxy A71 has a four-camera setup arranged in an “L” shape located in the corner with a rectangular protrusion similar to that of the iPhone 11 and the Pixel 4. The array consists of a 64 MP wide angle camera, a 12 MP ultrawide camera, a 5 MP macro camera, and a 5 MP depth sensor.[16] It also has a single 32 MP front-facing camera, which sits in a small punch hole on the front of the screen.

The rear-facing cameras can record video up to 4K@120 fps, as well as 1080p at 120, 240, and 960 fps. The front cameras can shoot 1080p@120 fps. The rear cameras also have Super Steady EIS.[17]

Software

All variants of the Galaxy A71 comes pre-installed with Android 10 and One UI 2. On 18 August 2020, it was announced by Samsung that select Galaxy devices would be supported for three generations of Android software updates and 4 years of security updates, of which the A71 was included.[18]
