Correction - this version of the A71 5G features the 5G compatible Exynos 980 processor and NOT the SD765G. I was incorrectly under the impression that I purchased the UW model. Thanks :)

[@danielcase2189]

If its not the uw model and its the unlocked us version 5g A71. Its sd765g. Use one of those apps that gives u all your device info. If it says Qualcomm lito. Its a snapdragon.

[@danielcase2189]

You may have the uw model. But I think all the us versions use the snapdragon. Its crazy that their are so many ppl saying something different. Something is up here. Because i have the us unlocked version. And its not the uw version. Mine definitely has the snapdragon 765G

[@Richardclarkson7819]

Hey Kevin, I have the 71 regular and at this time i can't see paying over 200 more for the 5G. There isn't much difference between the phones to warrant the extra money and there isn't even that much out for the 5g. I'll wait till it's alot lower in price and then get it.

[@danielcase2189]

There is some definite differences. The better 765 snapdragon with the andreno 620. It does make a difference with pics.

[@richardhowell8553]

Also, depending on where you are, 5G may not be available. Personally would wait for 5G to be VERY widely available, because by then the A71 5G will come down in price. A win/win.

Back when 3G was switching over to 4G, I bought a 3G phone (bc on sale) and I DEFINITELY regretted it. It was MUCH slower than my Dad's 4G phone, and It really was frustratingly slow, but it was 3G, so, yeah. I couldn't make that mistake again so I HAD TO get the A71 5G. Just did not want to make the same mistake again. Just something to think about for people on the fence

[@letlovecomeinbeautiful]

I'm sticking with my A71 4G LTE until 5G becomes a bit more of a thing, and when the A71 5G drops some in price. There's differences that future proof the A71 5G more, but for right now that's not worth the extra cost for the device, considering how sparse 5G is.

[@jajc9985]

I got the A71 matte silver edition that came out last August 2020 along with the note 10 lite.. from a 5 year apple user I have no regrets

[@Voltaron.]

Thanks for all you do Kevin

[@eastcoastgaminq4399]

The A71 should have got 90Hz or 120Hz, it may be a midrange a series but has features like the flagships, at least 90hz would run apps and games smoothly, for large phone also i would have liked to see a larger battery, like 5000mah

[@jamieslaughter4204]

Great video I'm wondering have you tested the 5G on the Galaxy A71 5G... So basically what I'm asking is are you getting 5G signals on that phone even though I know 5G is not out 100% yet just wondering how the 5G signal is on that A71 5G?? I guess that's one of the things a lot of people should be reviewing is how is the 5G working out

[@cosmicgamingunlimited]

109 in Gilbert? Sounds like a nice cool day, probably wore your winter jacket.

[@christinacampbell388]

Hey Kevin, I just purchased the A71 5G on Amazon today. I am with Xfinity mobile, they gave me a Motorola g pure for switching from T-Mobile. My first smart phone was a Samsung J7, then I went to Motorola power series. I've had 3 Motorola phones, but the g pure stinks! I did my homework researched iPhones 8se plus and a couple others that were compatible with Xfinity. After a good 8-10 hours of research and comparison I chose A71 5G, and I'll let you know what I think. Lol, I do hope it's as good as it sounds.... And now importantly I bought it today, June 12th, 2022 for $199 on Amazon. Thanks for making the video.

[@Apollo949]

I have the regular A71 and it's great and when I eventually get a 5g phone it will be a significant upgrade such as the Samsung S21 or equivalent when this contract ends. Right now, I'm really happy with my beautiful A71.

[@MegaAlicia1986]

Both have the same size? I am looking for a phonecase for my A71 but only can find cases for A71 5G or 4G. Both have the same size, right?

5G its not even a big deal for me, and definitely not a must have feature this days, stick to wi-fi and youre good to go...

My lte is faster than my 5g. I keep it turned off.

[@essencedavis0989]

I had the A71 5G from T-Mobile and when I went to the internet it kept saying offline for some reason then I switched the connection to 4G LTE and it still kept saying offline so I sold it and kept my Stylo 6 I know it's a downgrade but at least it doesn't say I'm offline nomo🤷🏾

[@gmill1983]

Got my A71 5G this past weekend. Had S10+. I was looking at other 5G phones, but did not want to spend over $1K. I am on Sprint / T-Mobile network. The A71 5G is great. 👍👍 As 5G becomes better in central Texas. I have no doubt this phone will last for a couple of years.

[@Iamodar]

Did you get the one ui 2.1 update, single take & other features?

[@gmill1983]

Yes, Android 10, UI 2.1. Also, single take for camera. Two items I wish they would have included with the A71 5G are wireless charging and duel speakers. Has just about every other items as the flagship versions of Samsung. It is a great budget friendly phone.

[@J_Mayhem]

I have the regular A71 that I got back in February. I remember it being a great phone - better behaved than my note 9 was but with less features. But then after a few months - it got kinda glitchy and would freeze up quite frequently. And the screen rotating situation really drove me nuts! I switched to a OnePlus 7T Pro and it is honestly the best phone I have ever purchased. Even over all the iPhones I've had. Kept the A71 tho as a back up!

[@Tiralful]

I feel like you ignored the biggest thing..... What's the speed difference between 4g and 5g on this phone?

[@KevinBreeze]

That's impossible to know because 5G speeds are going to be different everywhere. Me demonstrating it in this video wouldn't help anybody that lives outside of my city.

[@pietra9209]

So I got the A71, it's a great phone however I will say that the fact that the fingerprint thing is an issue. Also, I've noticed alot of the newer phones zoom in really bad on 3rd party apps (like snapchat or instagram). I can't believe that they haven't fixed that yet.

[@alanjagroop1282]

I have the a71 regular. And i dont have any problem with the features it has than its bigger 5g brother. The only thing i hate is the headphone jack is on the bottom instead of the top. If it wasnt for covert I would have bought 5g. But otherwise a great phone regardless.
