Technical specifications of Samsung Galaxy A71

Unboxing of Samsung Galaxy A71

The presentation of the Samsung Galaxy A71 comes to us in a cardboard box type box with a matte white finish. On its cover we have a dual view that shows us front and back of the smartphone and superimposed on it the numbering of it, A71. The only additional element present is the Samsung logo located in the upper left corner.

On the sides of the box the name and model of the smartphone are repeated and additionally we have the sticker that constitutes the opening seal. Also on the base we can find a second sticker with information regarding the product's serial number and quality certificates.

The contents of the box are summarized in:

• Samsung Galaxy A71 Quick Start Guide Fast Charge-to- Power Charger Type-C Cable Samsung In-Ear Headphones

The documentation of the Samsung Galaxy A71 comes inside a discreet white box that is on the back of the cover. Also in it we find a pin with which to open the SIM slot to insert our card.

Samsung Galaxy A71 design

For this review we present you the Silver model, but you can also buy its Black (black) and Blue (blue) color variants.

Finishes

The Samsung Galaxy A71 is a mid-high range smartphone, so predominantly the observable materials for its exterior finishes are glass, aluminum and plastic.

Its design is free of edges, opting for rounded edges and smooth shapes in which even the screen includes a slight curvature at the edges. Surrounding it is a thin , matte black plastic bezel that marks a distinction between it and the metallic-finish structure that traces the entire back of the Samsung Galaxy A71.

On the left side the only element we find is the slot to insert the SIM and MicroSD cards for storage expansion, while on the right is the volume button and another for turning on and off.

This metallic back in turn ends in a back cover made of plastic, which features a slightly textured design with striations and an iridescent reflection. The Samsung logo is screen printed on its lower margin, although the model number is completely obvious.

In the upper left corner is where we find a rectangle of tempered glass with aluminum edges that houses a set of four cameras and a white LED for flash and flashlight.

screen

The screen of the Samsung Galaxy A71 is a model made of glass and whose design is called Infinity: a screen from edge to edge of the glass and front almost without a bezel. However, not all the surface is operational, and a slight margin may be found that does not cover the AMOLED panel.

Front and rear camera

A matter of design is that the front camera is integrated inside the operating area of ​​the screen, allowing it to vertically expand its surface and take full advantage of the 6.7 inches that the screen has.

The set of rear cameras on the other hand stands out from the rest of the design due to the glass sheet that combines the set. Here we have a main camera, a wide angle, a macro and a depth camera. We will go into more details about its characteristics in the Commissioning section.

Ports and connections

At the base of the mobile, for its part, we find the speaker, microphone, USB Type-C port and a 3.5 jack for headphones. On the upper edge of the Samsung Galaxy A71 we also see a perforation identical to that of the base microphone.

Samsung Galaxy A71 internal hardware

Moving on here to discuss its components, the Samsung Galaxy A71 is a smartphone that has a Qualcomm processor with four cores and eight threads, specifically being the Snapdragon 730 model. Its GPU is in turn made up of an Adreno 618, both elements being a standard format within this range, so the average performance we can expect will probably not differ in excess of similar models in stress tests.

On storage, we have 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 128GB of storage, although these can be expanded up to 512GB through an external MicroSD card that we purchase separately.

Regarding the other elements, here we can see information on the maximum capacity of the battery (4370mAh vs. 4500 on the official website), which in turn has Li-ion or lithium -ion technology, which is subdivided into small sections. to increase its durability. Additionally, we observe GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity as well as more than twenty different sensors to favor the provision of exact data to the applications that we have installed.

Putting Samsung Galaxy A71 into use

We enter here to discuss the daily use of the Samsung Galaxy A71, and it is that here we have a medium-high range model designed to meet common needs on a daily basis, such as sending emails, taking photos or viewing videos or live streaming as well as Web browsing.

The 6GB of RAM guarantee uninterrupted fluidity and we have not experienced any type of problem in its handling whatever the activity we carry out. This also includes gaming, although we already know that mobile games have a lower average resource consumption than other platforms. It is interesting to note in this regard the Game Booster option, capable of optimizing the battery, temperature and memory management.

Screen qualities

With a resolution of 1080 x 2400, the Super AMOLED screen maintains an aspect ratio of 16: 9 and has very little distortion, being able to maintain a good perception of the colors present in it from almost any angle. It reaches a density of 393 pixels per inch, which is why the images and colors demonstrate good definition, with a brightness of around 400 nits.

Also commenting on the screen, it is in the lower area of the screen where the fingerprint reader is integrated under the glass, instead of the reverse as other types of mobile phones. This function is compatible with the verification and security systems of multiple applications apart from the phone's unlock functions.

Connectivity

Analog connections are limited to USB Type-C 2.0 and 3.5 headphone jack. It is also possible to incorporate two Nano SIM cards aside from the MicroSD for storage. Speaking of wireless connectivity, we have Bluetooth 5.0 while the network reaches up to 4G.

Other formats are WiFi, with coverage of 2.4G and 5GHz (covers a / b / g / n / ac), NFC and ANT +. Even the smartest can count on PC Sync using the Smart Switch and synchronize notifications and files in Windows and Mac OS operating systems. We leave you the link to more information on the Official Website.

Cameras and audio

Moving forward in the review, it is time to comment on our impressions regarding the work of both the front and rear cameras of the Samsung Galaxy A71.

Starting from the front, this one has 32 megapixels and F2.2 aperture. Unfortunately it lacks autofocus, but it does have facial recognition.

Within the options of the camera itself, the main options menu is distributed in a slider that shows us the Dynamic Focus, Photo, Video and More options. Inside the More category we have a gallery that expands the available modalities, highlighting Night Mode and options for Fast, Slow and Super Slow Motion. Regarding video recording at these speeds, the fast camera is accelerated with multiples of two, with speeds of x4, x8, x16 and x64 while slow and super slow motion apparently do not have speed settings in the original software of the phone.

The specifications on the official website indicate that with a super slow camera we can reach 240fps with HD resolution (720p).

Turning to comment on specific properties of the set of rear cameras, we have:

• One 64MP main camera 12MP wide-angle 5MP macro 5MP depth camera

Regarding the resolutions and aspect ratios, these can be modified independently in the front and rear cameras. In general we have a format of 16: 9, 4: 3 and 1: 1 although this may vary depending on the type of photo or video to be taken. The resolutions vary from HD (1280 × 720), FHD (1920x1080p), Full (2400x1080p) and UHD (3840x2160p), although this is already at 30fps. Finally, the zoom of the rear main camera is capable of magnification up to eight times using the Digital Zoom.

Both in Night Mode (upper sample), Photography, Panoramic and Video we can obtain images using or not the wide angle to obtain an optimized field of view width. The night mode is undoubtedly the one that has caught our attention the most since it has proven to be able to maintain clarity and plausibility with respect to the actual lighting conditions with respect to the moment in which the truly remarkable photograph was taken.

There is no option available for settings for beauty filters or a selfie mode, but we can tell you that the processing of images on camera tends to harmonize chromatically similar surfaces, which generates a very defined tonal distinction between areas of different color and indirectly "mattifies" the photographs. This is due to a post-processing process of the software that we find among its options and consists of HDR with a rich tone that we definitely recommend activating.

As a curiosity, in Night Mode, although it is possible to take photographs with the wide angle, it does not allow us to zoom in on the images. We assume this is a software limitation to facilitate light optimization, but we have not been able to confirm this.

A last notable aspect among the camera's features is that it allows you to scan QR codes, set saving options for HEIF ( High Efficiency Image File Format ) photos and with super wide-angle correction, Scene Optimizer, Video Stabilizer and even include a watermark to all our images.

Regarding the recording and reproduction formats, we have:

• Video Formats: MP4, M4V, 3GP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, AVI, FLV, MKV, WEBM. Audio Formats: MP3, M4A, 3GA, AAC, OGG, OGA, WAV, WMA, AMR, AWB, FLAC, MID, MIDI, XMF, MXMF, IMY, RTTTL, RTX, OTA.

Regarding the quality of the audio and volume we can tell you that they are quite good. The maximum volume retains clarity and we have not seen cascading frequencies in the highest tones, although we must point out that being smartphone speakers, it is expected that the bass are the weakest tonal frequency of all.

The detail of including an in-ear headphones inside the box of the Samsung Galaxy A71 is appreciated. They do not have any unusual characteristics but they do have a volume regulator and a multifunction button integrated in the cable.

Test of performance

From the wonders of the camera we go to get a little serious and get into the matter with traditional performance tests with our trusted softwares, which are:

1. AnTuTu BenchMark GeekBench 5 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme

With them we value the performance of the CPU and GPU as well as the speed of processes of the RAM memory among other elements of the SoC.

Antutu measures the overall performance of the Samsung Galaxy A71 processor and offers us an average of it so that we can compare it with other models on the market. We must say that its overall results are closer to the high range (not premium) and stand out from the average of products within its price range. It is not an abysmal difference, but it is positively valued.

With Geekbench 5 we see that the performance of the CPU as a whole or with a single thread is modest, although it remains quite functional within its range.

3DMark is more software aimed at analyzing the performance of our device with respect to games. The stress test renders 2D and 3D models as well as reflections and physics in real time. The test generates frames per second and we can see how stable and what is the maximum graphics performance we can expect.

The results of the Samsung Galaxy A71 are within the expected and although in our graph it is visualized with a great leap with respect to the following model that we have analyzed, we already tell you that you will still be able to play on your smartphone, navigate on Instagram and watch streaming normally..

Battery and autonomy

Autonomy is one of the main issues that we should monitor on a smartphone, especially when the increasingly larger screens tend to take away a good part of its consumption with high levels of brightness or applications that require high performance such as games or streaming in time. real.

The battery of the Samsung Galaxy A71 is lithium and has a capacity of 4500mAh specified on the official website, although the data provided by Antutu brings it closer to 4370mAh with a voltage of 3.9V. Its peak autonomy with a 100% charge is approximately two days, although this prediction can be altered by energy saving modes, brightness and applications in use.

Within Settings <Battery we have quite interesting options with which to manage our Samsung Galaxy A71. Firstly, we have a graph where we can see the number of hours the screen is on each day and a list of the applications that reflect the highest activity rate. The Performance Mode category is particularly noteworthy, where we can choose between Optimized, Medium and Maximum as well as an adaptive energy saving.

Connectivity

One last question is the ability of Wi-Fi to upload and download data. Here we have a 50-megabyte contract in which we observe that we have almost reached the top of the rise, remaining slightly behind in the capacity of descent. In this section we consider that the results are very remarkable.

Final words and conclusions about Samsung Galaxy A71

The Samsung Galaxy A71 is a multipurpose smartphone model that we can consider as an excellent candidate that stands out within the mid-range. Its battery with fast charge guarantees an autonomy of up to two days and allows us great flexibility if we add configurable power options.

The rear and front cameras do a correct job and provide very good results, especially being able to highlight the Night and Macro Mode as well as a super slow or fast camera for users more interested in experimenting. The Pro mode alternative with manual options also accommodates those with a more advanced understanding of controls such as shutter and metering.

On the screen of the Samsung Galaxy A71 it has an excellent contrast with almost 400 nits of brightness, which together with its high density of pixels per inch (393) gives us a standard definition within a Super AMOLED. The choice of plastic as the material chosen for the trims and back cover helps to lighten the weight of our device (179g) and uses it as a distinctive brand with which to add a range of colors to the series.

We can acquire the Samsung Galaxy A71 on its Official Website for € 469.00. The price of the same does not surprise us since it arrives according to its range taking into account that here the main effort has been in CPU and GPU improvements compared to models of the same series but lower numbering. The performance and battery of the Galaxy A71 is optimized here, so if these characteristics are among your priorities, you can consider it a good asset.
