Aside from the “Resolution is higher” argument being made between both screens. Their are far more differences between the two screens and you can even notice them just by watching the video. Like color accuracy, brightness, saturation, etc. among many others. The Galaxy S9 has a far better of a display than any current A Series has to offer. People often seem to use the blanket term of resolution to describe differences between two screens of any type and that’s just one piece of the puzzle. Great videos as always but just simply describing the difference(s) between two phone screens by only talking about the resolution is far too simple a comparison.

[@lewisevander]

the s9 is only good when you get the snapdragon version, period.

2 weeks into my unlocked A71 and i love it. I bought it mainly for the battery. Im averaging 12hrs of screen on time with 2.4 days worth of battery on medium power saving mode. And 3 days with 10hrs of screen on time with a mix of maximum and medium power saving mode. BEAST!! Still havent experimented fully with the Maximum power saving mode. The camera system is great but would love to have a better pro mode like my LG G4. The A71 takes crisp photos and video and the wide and macro lenses are awesome. The almost 100% screen to body ratio is amazing. The speaker is pretty good too it has some base to it (low base instruments) (not percussion base). Very happy with my purchase.

[@mic400uk]

I swapped my s9 for the a71 last month. The main reason? Battery. If the s9 battery could last through the day it was an otherwise great phone. I think you mention they have the same charger, the a71 actually comes with a 25w charger for the "super fast charging". The huge screen is a big jump and takes some getting used to but I specifically wanted a large screen for viewing content and gaming, also my young kids somethings watch cartoons on it. With kids using my phone didnt want another precious flagship s20 device, I am less worried about them dropping my a71. The one thing I hated about the s9 was the curved screen, just because normal screen protectors didnt work, only the £50 whitestone glass worked, which becomes expensive to replace. I just bought a 3 pack of tempered glass protectors for £5 which work great. I've always gone flagship before, never considered midrange, but wow the a range atm is on fire. Cameras was a huge thing for me and you are right whilst the s9 still takes great photos the a71s quad camera set up just offered so much more. Size wise the a51 would be more of a similar comparison between these , also the a51 is cheaper than the a71. The a71 was £420 in the samsung shop, they gave me £150 trade in for my s9 and £60 cashback so I'm very happy with that. The s9 is still a great phone, if the battery still lasted a day I may have kept it longer.

[@jeg1233]

I have an s9, really tempted to go on amazon and get an a71 for 350 as I love my s9 but the battery is so bad, get about 4 hours 5 hours use before it's gone always worried it will die whenever I go out for half a day, so would you defo recommend the a71, was tempted get a used s10 plus however can imagine that being a year old and has smaller battery than a71 battery to me is more important

[@mic400uk]

@@jeg1233 I was exactly the same as you, my 2 year old s9 was great but just couldn't get my through the day. the Galaxy S10 plus supports the older Quick charge 2.0 standard, which means it has an upper limit of 15W. the a71 comes with 25w super fast charging so you can charge its 4500mah battery to full in 1 hour 10 minutes, I absolutely love this feature, I'm truly amazed, if battery is your concern you will love the a71, not only is it bigger than the s10 plus but going from the charging speed of the s9 to the a71 is night and day. It goes without saying a used phones battery will already be at a disadvantage. Rather than go on Amazon have you considered trading your s9 into the Samsung store? Here in the UK the samsung shop gave me £150 for my old s9, they also gave me £60 cashback. The a71 is so cheap compared to how much my s9 was new. Yes there is no wireless charging or ip rating but this doesn't bother me. Do consider the jump in screen size though. The a71 is huuuge compared to the s9. I wanted a huge screen this time around so it's great for me, the big screen is great for watching netflix and gaming however the size takes some getting used to especially when a case is on it. If you're not after a huge phone then consider the a51, it's basically the same with a slightly smaller battery and slightly less ram, but yeah that super fast charging though 👌❤

i got the 9+ when it came out. love it. finally looking to upgrade. trying to upgrade without going to the 10 or 20. was curious about the 71. i can't though. only thing i'll be getting to my advantage is better batter, but the 9+, isn't far behind that. i love the print reader in back and the ppi is alot better. which is important to me, i do VR games and movies often. the 9+ does 4K with ease. no issues or frame dropage. i want to spend no more than 350 so im trying my best but looks like im getting the 10 after all. which is great, sweet phone but is rather a tease, knowing the 20's chip is such a beast and stuff. SD i mean anyways lol.. good video. answered my question of getting the 71 or not. biggest flaws for me are the low ppi count, huge screen. probably too big for most VR headsets and it will kill the VR resolution im afraid, and no upgrade of a charge speed. i like the storage and ram though. the curved edge on the 9+ is a real nice feel and look over there 71. nothing cheap feelling or looking about it and thats cool. i'd recommend the 9+ at 6.2 inch screen and oh hey... this might be pretty important. the modems in cheaper, mid range and less phones... they make a huge difference. i don't know about the 71's modem. but i bet its nothing like the 9's. in a fast real world comparison, i see literally 220 down on my 9+. the new cheapy i picked up when i got another line, doesn't even do 60 down. also, the signal some how seems to pick up after dropping threw bad spots considerably faster and if im in a metal building, the 9's modem catches the signal as soon as i step out of it. the bran new cheapy i got, is completely screwed until basically i restart the phone, and resetting the modem as i do. so with low end and mid range phones, my guess is that is one of the sacrices your making. a crappy modem and its pretty big difference, i would say. i hear the 10 modem is even better. im curious to see that when i do get the 10. so you guys know also, i see the 10 on amazon for less than 500, around 400, Renewed. so thats valuable option for yenz

I'd go for the S9. I hate plastic phones so the material is the deal-breaker for the A71. The S9 will also consistently shoot better photos, MP aren't everything and we've seen tons of mid rangers with high MP cameras shoot terrible photos like the Realme. The S9 also has all the bells and whistles like wireless charging, duo speakers etc. Also, personally I'd much rather have the S8 and S9 design over all these notch and hole punch any day. The only plus the A71 has are only really the software updates and battery. It's a no brainer imo

You're 100% right. the mid-range specs of today are similar, sometimes better than the flagship two to three years before. I did a lot of research on the a series but I opted out on a $300 grade a refurbished note 9 and it's a great phone. As nice as glass feels, it's funny that flagship material shatter, but the cheap stuff does not. I prefer a plastic back because I'm not too keen on wireless charging unless you get moisture in the port... I honestly hate that.

This just goes on to buttress how nothing lasts forever, nothing is really worth the initial hype Smartphones now are also fashion accessories and the once glorious galaxy S9,is on the bottom end of the spectrum I'll take even the A51 over the S9 any day in 2020 Only the Note 9, with its huge QHD+ curved display , 4000mAh battery and that awesome S-Pen could somewhat get me to ignore the all-rounded brilliance of the galaxy A71.

Why not just get an S9 Plus It does have 6 gigs of RAM. For some reason though three of them are usually taken.

[@rixzin5046]

Free ram is wasted ram and can slow your system down. Background processes fill the ram so that the experience is smoother. The more ram being used the better the optimization so don't worry about 3

Phones are gonna be like cars. Some want new and can afford the premium stuff while others want new but less specs to do what they need it to. However I see the market of older gen phones sticking around on shelves longer and the manufacturers giving longer support spans because maybe you want a new but old phone. Something a gen or two (or even 3) behind. Tmobile still has the iphone 7 on shelves and has apple support for some time to go now. Everyone else should follow that idea

I just think your a71 display was not set in Vivid color mode. So that it colors when compare to s9 is desaturated. Maybe you should set the settings first before you make this vlog. Its a bit unfair for a71 display though.

[@generaleditor]

A71 has no band 71 support for T-Mobile (ironically!), no Dex support, no iris scanner, no LDAC, no AptX or AptX HD, no AAC. Lack of a hole punch, water resistance, dual speakers, OIS, and capacitive fps seal the deal for the S9, and at a lower price. A71 is nice, though.

[@XcaliburReborn]

S9 had fast battery drain issues and still does. The pixel 4 of 2018. Also the s9 in Europe comes with inferior exynos which probably explains the battery drain, where the a71 comes with the SD 730 global.

[@OtakuDude93]

Sorry but the sound of the s9 just won't let me get a phone without it, it's just too good.

[@isaacvega9683]

s9 is the king. A71 is a pawn.

[@yosephspigelman3223]

I think that a longer lasting phone we also got more updates is much better than an older phone which won't last as long and won't get as many updates.

[@samarth1906]

I wouldn't reccomend buying the S9 with the exynos chipset, it has quite bad battery life only about 3-4 hours for me (this is on power saving mode pretty much all the time with the display resolution being set to 720p, I would end up going with the A71 for this reason alone as the battery life is just unacceptable for me)

[@Lawomenshoops]

I'm late to this, but a battery that doesn't last a full day, is easily solved by using a battery pack, or if you're indoors charging the phone. But, you can't put another speaker onto the A71 or better picture quality. So, I would buy the S9. And even if there are no more software updates 2-3 years from now, you could buy a used S21 or whatever one or two year old model, for about $300. So, looking into the future, buying two used flagship phones for about $600 is a much better value!

[@petarpetrov198]

Samsung has stepped up their midrange phones game, but a flagship is a flagship even if 2 years old. The thing is a71 will get 3 Android updates due to the new Samsung software update policy while the s9 is getting only software updates from here on

[@nicholas4975]

A week ago, I bought and received the Galaxy S9 for 140 USD!.

[@DaijaWatson]

Just traded my s9+ for $500 off my note 20 ultra. Seriously I would 10/10 recommend the s9+ (has two cameras and is bigger) if you want a good phone at decent price. That phone held up beautifully, worked perfectly and was in excellent condition to trade in over 2 years after purchase

[@NAZEER946]

A 71 still because of new release update design large screen and battery life + everything else... It's SO good flagship lil outdated compare the price to pay for Amazon renewed project that might be refurbish or most likely have some issues also keep in mind the phone is 2 years old so battery life and components has that age with no warranty.....(A71 It's brand new 1 UI full warranty updates 👍)

[@radnorzavoisse4152]

The display of s9 is far better. Just look at 2:34 and 3:03 ,the a71 is producing muted colors and the details can be hard to recognise. Also what's with the weird lines at 2:34 on a71's screen.You get flagship chip for lower price so consider pocketing s9.

[@crazyscfool]

I recently bought a Galaxy A51 5G. I got a great trade-in deal and a $50 case for $5. No regrets. I bought and sold a Galaxy S20 this year. Could not justify that price for my needs. Never cared for the S9. It always looked like something they threw together at the last minute as an S8 followup.

[@--julian_]

Tbh samsung should do what apple does and continue selling old phones at a lower price instead of making 1000000000 mid and low end phones

[@jewontheskidoo]

For 400 bucks I can get an iPhone XS or Xs max for $450 in used like new condition or even an 11 pro for $550-$600 which is definitely worth the extra $50-$150 to get one of those options compared to the a71

Did you set the a71 on vivid mode while comparing the display.? Also was the s9 on vivid mode? I agree the s9 has a better display much they are very similar in terms of contrast. The s9's screen is just more sharper and brighter.

How old is the battery in your S9? They do degrade so you will see better battery life with a replacement on an older phone.

TechDaily: The flagship S9 has the best display at the best resolution! Sony: Are you calling our 4K displays a joke?

[@lewisevander]

The problem with the Sony phones is that they are probably the only manufacturer now who still uses big bezels even on their flagships phones. So that imo reduces its looks and the viewing experience. Also samsung has always had the most colourful and vivid displays. So I doubt sony can beat that not to mention the fact that a 4k display on a phone will always be a waste as you wont be able to notice the difference. Right now even the batteries of the 2k phone cant keep up with the resolution. You will need atleast a 10000 mah battery to ensure you have a decent battery life on a 4k phone.

[@cadenchurchill4296]

@@lewisevander I completely agree. In a phone I strongly prefer having the slimmer bezels and resolution really doesn’t need to be that high. Had a couple phones with 2k screens before going to the OnePlus 6’s 1080p then the iPhone 11’s 820p and for the most part really don’t notice the difference and when I do I don’t really care about it. Even 2k screens on phones are overrated and I’d rather have something lower resolution just to lower the cost and have longer battery life.
