Reviewer score 65%The Samsung Galaxy A71 5G offers a quad-lens camera, with a 64-megapixel main sensor. In good lighting, photos are colorful and bright with a decent amount of dynamic range and solid detail. In low light, the photos are relatively noisy and lack detail, which is usually the case with midrange phones.

Reviewer score 57%The A71 uses the mid-range Snapdragon 730, an SoC that has eight cores. Qualcomm divides these into a performance cluster that contains two ARM Cortex-A76 cores and a standard cluster. These can clock up to 2.2 GHz and 1.8 GHz, respectively. There is also an Adreno 618 GPU and 6 GB of RAM onboard. The display not only impresses with its high maximum brightness but also good colour accuracy.

Reviewer score 77%The A71 is the second Samsung phone to use such a high resolution sensor, and the first to release outside of India. The front-facing camera is the same 32Mp, f/2.2 selfie shooter you'll find in all four of the new phones Samsung unveiled at CES 2020. The camera's notable on the front of the phone too, with a move from the A70's notch to a punchhole camera cut-out in the centre of the 6.7in AMOLED screen. It comes with 6GB of RAM and an octa-core Snapdragon 730 processor. There's no wireless charging option sadly, but that would be a big ask for a mid-range phone like this.

Reviewer score 76%The Samsung Galaxy A71 has a huge, 6.7-inch display. It uses Samsung's Infinity-O screen technology which means you get a punch-hole camera design at the top of the display. The front-facing camera takes up more space on the A71 than it does on the cheaper Galaxy A51 - even though they're the same lens. The main sensor a 64MP, f/1.8 offering and from our brief test it produced well-lit, detailed images. There's a fingerprint scanner embedded into the display as well, plus the option to use face recognition to unlock the phone instead.

Reviewer score 52%The A71 was less than half as quick as the OnePlus 8, recording 551 frames at 8.6 frames per second. The 4,500-mAh battery inside the Galaxy A71 lasted an average of 10 hours and 49 minutes. It charges faster, too, with an included 25-watt adapter that reaches 60% in just 30 minutes.

Reviewer score 74%The Samsung Galaxy A71 has a large 6.7-inch display and a 64MP main camera. The phone is unashamedly plastic and feels cheap and cheerful as a result. There’s a headphone jack sits on the bottom next to the USB-C port. The back is covered in a ‘Prism’ pattern that Samsung seems to be using a lot recently. There are four cameras tucked inside and this offers a good amount of variety.

Reviewer score 69%Samsung's A71 is one of the few midrange unlocked 5G phones. Performance is ample, running games like Genshin Impact without much trouble. Despite having a dedicated Night mode, the cameras falter in dim light. Google's $350 Pixel 4A happily (and consistently) takes better-looking night photos.
