Reviewers from digitaltrends have found the following***:
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.

Reviewers from notebookcheck have found the following***:
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.

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.

Pros
  • Gorgeous AMOLED display
  • Great battery life
Cons
  • No wireless charging
  • No headphone jack
  • No waterproof rating

Reviewers from techradar have found the following***:
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.

Pros
  • Gorgeous display
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • No microSD card slot
  • Camera cut-out needs work

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.

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.

Reviewers from wired have found the following***:
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.

  • No microSD card slot
