Samsung Galaxy A71 5G

Overview

The Samsung Galaxy A71 5G is a solid mid-range device that competes well with others in its class. It offers an excellent screen with solid battery life and speedy performance. At half the cost of flagships, you'd hardly know it's not a top-flight phone.

If you're shopping for an Android phone right now and want to future-proof it with 5G, the A71 is a solid buy if you don't pay more than $500. The Pixel 4A 5G costs that much. It matches the A71 in several ways and produces better photos. But the Pixel doesn't have expandable storage, and its battery isn't as long-lasting. Both phones get three years of software and security updates, though Pixels will likely get them many months sooner.

The Samsung Galaxy A71 offers 5G connectivity and solid overall performance for a relatively affordable price.

There simply aren't many devices on offer for the same money that offer a similar flagship experience. Let alone with next-gen mobile networking attached. Samsung Galaxy A71 5G is, as a result, worth every penny of the asking price and more.
