Thanks for the review.

[@franciscocaliliw3780]

Nah, this blows everything about the Pixel 2 XL. Used them both. Screen is way smoother, cameras albeit not having the same quality as the Pixel, is more flexible and has more features that have a functional use for me. Screen quality is why better. At this point, Samsung mid-range panels are even better than other companies' flagships only being beaten by Samsung flagship panels. It also has way more storage than the Pixel and is expandable. The 2XL is good, but it does not hold a candle to the A71 usability-wise. It makes the 2XL feel way older for me. A71 all the way.

Nice review. In August I had to replace my Nexus 6P and was going to get A71, after changing my mind on S20. It made more sense, especially that I don`t do anything crazy with my phones, Twitter and trading stocks. The shop beside me had a great deal on Pixel 3a and only A51 in stock. So, I ended up with Pixel, very happy with it. However, the fact that A71 is a 5G and Pixel is a bit more expansive. I might still get it or wait what will be available in 2021.

Here's a pretty specific question for anybody that might know; How does the A71 5G speaker compared to that of the LG G6 when video streaming (Netflix/KZbin). I'm talking about he sound regular talking watching a show, not necessarily some profound music audio listening. I got used to be double speakers on my LG v40, but it went belly-up so I'm temporarily back on my G6 and for my purposes I like the single bottom firer just fine. But if the A71 speaker tends to be a little tinny or scratchy or so forth for videos I may just have to go with the s20 FE. But I'd rather save the $300.

Ultimately I think its exactly what I needed, reliable, good value, the camera isnt the best but i dont care, i just needed something with decent storage and I knew would last a while.

Well, finally bit the bullet and the T-Mobile version of the A71 5G from Samsung directly for $375. I had nothing to trade in a or that I wanted to trade in or it would have been less. In California in a T-Mobile store it's going for $600. $647 with sales tax. But really, for all the stuff the A71 does NOT have; like better screen glass and water resistance, it shouldn't be anything more than $500 in a carrier store. Anyway, besides saving the money, if it doesn't work out, it'll give me a good feel for how it would be to have the LG V60. If I got that I would get the dual screen version, as its only $50 more than the single screen, but I would probably only use the single screen out of the dual screen case anyway and the A71 is only 7 mm shorter and 2 mm less wide. If I got the v60 I would have to get it from the carrier, so I could make payments, and if I didn't like the size of it returning it is a minor hassle, not to mention the $50 restocking fee they would keep. The stupid security attachments they have to the phones in the stores don't allow you to pick them up and really get a feel how they would feel in your hand. So dumb they don't have a provision so the customer can get a real feel of the phone
