[@arond8158]

Samsung A71 is one of the best phone I have used in the recent past. I have used number of renowned phones like Oneplus 8, Oneplus 7, Samsung S20+….But this A71 comes across as a phone with a number of pros. First the screen/display…it is large and vibrant , fantastic for media consumption. Videos look so much better in A71 because of its big vibrant display and nearly invisible unobtrusive punch hole .You are never distracted by its punch hole. Then its battery backup. I don’t understand how it is so much better than Oneplus 7 and Oneplus 8 as these Oneplus phones suffer from heavy battery drain when idle. But in A71 there is hardly any battery drain when idle. Its weight distribution is fantastic, feels so light in hand inspite of 6.7 inch display…only 179 gms. Very rare to find these days. Realme and Xiaomi please note. Camera is superb & mindblowing as usual being a Samsung phone. It justifies the camera hype . In day to day work there is hardly any difference between A71 and Samsung S20+. They look almost same in appearance and performance if u like to overlook the antutu score. Lastly , the fastcharger in the box. It really charges the phone super super fast.

I had the note 10 with CRAP battery life. Had same issue on S10, note 8,9,10, s20 etc.and Fina,lly got tired of it and looked for a non exynos version. Found this one and was sceptical since i never bought a midrange phone, always flagships. I'm SUPER HAPPY with it. Good camera, never stutters ( exynos always stutters) IMPRESSIVE battery life. I paid 340 euros for it and it's a really good phone. For me the fingerprint sensor works even better. My 1000 euro Note 10 is in the drawer as backup phone. I really can recommend it.

[@echovd7824]

Been using this for a month and gotta say its been really good. My main concerns are actually with fast charging, how long will it take to wear out the port and it gets loose and also the macro and night photos are pretty iffy. The wireless charging could save the usb port from wearing out. Switch to normal charging if you dont need it.

[@cornestander3877]

fast charging wont damage it nor will leaving it overnight on fast charging. What will damage battery is heat and cold conditions. Your phone will always charge super fast when low but slows down alot once it hits 80% roughly as it would start to heat up then a bit. Best to do is always keep it room temp when possible, saves battery life for as long as possible, fast charging wont hurt it, been on fast charging for a year and a half and never had any battery issues.

[@dedespedida4515]

Bought it today after my galaxy S9 was dying love it so far, really fast charger, long last battery, great screen, but it cost $600 from the sprint store(now kinda t mobile-sprint store) for water i saw a few great water resistant cases, and last but not least ..this pgone DOEA NOT FEEL MID RANGE PHONE absolutely not it feels like a top of the game pgone, get it!

[@grandpa203]

Great video...I heard the punch hole camera was bigger because dude to the screen size on the A71 they had to make the space around the camera hole bigger. Had something to due with the super amoled display. The macro camera is completely unnecessary imo. I feel like all the companies are doing that because they want to say they have a quad camera setup...most of the flagships get the Telephoto instead of the macro

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Yes you are right. The A71 uses the Super Amoled Plus and not the Super Amoled. I believe it is thinner and requires the camera to be larger. I also agree with you that the macro is unnecessary. I have not seen a comment yet saying that they liked it or wanted it in flagships

[@saepiumv3813]

@@haiky8104 Well for one it made me realise how behind I was on technology!! It is a great phone that I find suits my needs. The camera is very good, the best shutter speed with sun but on lower light poor speeds and pictures are just okay. I have compared it to my brothers Iphone 11 and his pictures had more colour and depth but with some editing I got mine to look better in lower light. For taking pictures of moving objects like pets or your childrem, I appreciated the single take feature! I have some fantastic photos from single take!! I really like the phone, it is fast and the battery lasts a long time (I take good care of the battery too - dont leave charging over night, etc.) The screeen for watching youtube or netflix is fantastic too and Bixby is okay but some functions are cool like the Bixby routines or asking Bixby to turn on the flashlight.

Yeah I know what you both mean. I think it would be smart if Samsung made an A71 and A71 Plus, so the smaller of the two was maybe 5.9" and the larger was this size. I think they could really dominate the midrange market with those two. They won't even need the A51

Great analysis Mike . With the new pixel 4a coming in soon, do you recommend waiting for it or to go with a71. I'd wanna a fairly decent camera n good battery life

[@BluRadoZ71]

same here. im leaning towards the 4a for the quicker updates

[@nicolev7952]

Was wondering the same thing. Speculation blog posts are all over the place regarding whether the 4a will be worth it. So torn.

[@mariapapademetri9297]

Surprise you never discussed 4G verses 5 G . Also the phone cost just over $600 for the 5g and many advertise only have the single sim tray. When would you use a double sim card ???

[@orphanfrequencyyeah1742]

Fingerprint sensor totally sucks. I tried who knows how many times with several different fingers to enter it into the phone. After applying the finger 50 times in different ways it either tells you that it can't complete it, or everything seems to be fine until you actually want to use it and then it won't recognize it however you try. Seriously considering bringing it back.

I bought the A70, do you think it still holds up today compared to the A71?

[@ferratovic]

I'll be getting mine soon so tnx for this video.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Awesome. Enjoy your new phone!

This seems to be the nest honest review i have seen of this A71 thanks, so maybe you can help with my decision here!? I'm away to upgrade from my A50 next week and I'm torn between the Note 10 plus or the A71! I know what I want, the note 10 plus but is this A71 actually better now? I can't see it as before I was always flagship device's and know they have loads of extra wee features like multi room on bluetooth and wee things like that I miss coming to the A series! There missing quite alot of wee features but it's been ok over the past year! But today the note 10 plus and the A71 are the same price new so you can see my problem here !

[@picodegallio3255]

Thanks for the vid. bro recently my glorious Note 8 got messed up 😭 and this phone seems to make sense for me. Thanks again.

[@shermaprince9545]

I'm stuck between the a71 and the s10... I don't know which to pick, any opinions?

[@jonhermannsson9231]

nice review Does it support Samsung T5 and T7. SSD drives

[@carlosmoraleshernandez6022]

Great video! Do you know if their will be a samsung a72 and a91?

[@connorburke5761]

One thing that I really hate about modern android phones is the size. I really wish that they made an android phone the size of the new SE, or maybe even the 11 Pro. But no, the smallest good android phone is pretty much the Pixel 4, which is really expensive, or the s10e, which is a previous generation phone. I don't really like Apple anymore, but I don't really see a good new android phone that I can get...

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

This is true. I think it would be nice if there was a 5.9" Galaxy A71 (or A71e) and then this would be the A71 Plus. Even if they were the same price, I think a lot of people would be interested in that concept

[@connorburke5761]

@@MikeOBrienMedia Agreed

[@nickycarts]

Is the inability to zoom out to the ultra wide lens during video a software issue? Asking because I will most likely install GCam when I purchase this decide.

[@razorr527]

Dude really dive in on this review. Great 👍 job.

[@michaelfrankdelacruz]

Yeah... absolutely good brand of samsung.... 📱

[@viktorianeupauerova9543]
