Samsung Galaxy A71 Mobile Phone; Sim Free Smartphone - Prism Crush Black, (UK Version)

I purchased for my wife to replace her Note 8 as she has lived with a smashed screen for a while! This review will therefore make a lot of comparisons to the Note 8. A flagship from a few years ago but still a very good device. Looking at the spec list, the A71 is "better" than the Note 8 in a lot of aspects, especially battery life. The only obvious difference on paper was the slightly lower resolution screen. The size is surprising, it is pretty much the same size as the Note 8, just slightly thinner and a lot lighter. A larger device than expected. Performance is excellent, it seems to perform just as well as a flagship phone during everyday use. The screen is bright and crisp and the device feels premium. Camera quality was initially disappointing, with photos appearing flat and lacking colour. Then a message randomly popped up while using the camera, something along the lines of "make every detail show in your pictures?". Accepting this dramatically increased the appeal of the images. I believe this turned on HDR mode and increased the resolution to the full 64MP. It's a difficult comparison as the Note 8 camera was exceptionally good but now the Mrs is happy with the camera. Battery life is very good, as would be expected from the impressive 4,500 mAh battery. It's a night and day improvement over the Note 8, with the Note from new tending to be close to 0 by early evening and the A71 having around 30% remaining with the same use. Overall it's an amazing device. Not so long ago, if you went for the mid range devices there was always a noticeable compromise in things like performance, screen and camera quality and a less premium look and feel. Nowadays it's a completely different story. It's very difficult to see any reason why the Galaxy S series would cost double the price. With flagships receiving such small changes every year, the mid range phones should now be just as appealing. For a lot of people it also means it becomes feasible to buy a sim free device outright and avoid being tied into an outrageously expensive contract. Definitely consider it!

I love this phone already. I did have a huawei p30 lite but it kept pressing the screen above where I was actually pressing so I'd had enough and bought the Samsung A71 instead. It is definitely worth the price! Nice and responsive, great face recognition. Plays all the games I've tried so far with no issues. The battery lasts a good long while even when I do have battery draining apps running in the back ground. I love the amount of space to install apps, pics or vids! One thing that put me off Samsung phones years ago was the tiny amount of storage it had especially on budget ranges so Im impressed again and this is one of the main factors that brought me back along with the other features and the amazing camera. I love the wide angle cam and the macro camera they are something I'm not use to on a phone and the Macro really does take some nice close up shots of stuff. The phone does have dual sim slots but I have only 1 sim in at the moment so can't review that feature. Like others have said it does have a plastic back but it really doesn't make this phone feel cheap at all and most of the time I have a case on anyway as I'm notorious for dropping phones! Speaking of dropping I have dropped the phone about 5 times from chair height and so far it is in one piece still and no cracks but I do have a case😆 UPDATE 2022: This beauty of a phone is still going! Also been dropped about 1000x in the 2 years but barely a scratch. There are a few tiny weeny scratches from not having a phone case with a front cover over and been stuck in jeans pocket all day but they are only visible when the screen is off and looking really close up! ♥️ This phone, it will be put in a display cabinet when it is finally put to rest 🤣

A71 is an excellent phone with all the latest security, camera, connectivity and functionality features at an affordable mid-range price. 128GB internal memory, expandable up to 512Gb with a microSD card memory expansion in the same dual SIM slot, Octa-core high spec processor, 6Gb RAM, fingerprint and facial recognition, fast charging battery, 4k video, ....., the list goes on. It beat the competition on features and price. My relative has had its predecessor the A70 and after a years worth of experience it came recommended so the logical step was to purchase its latest incarnation.. The only thing it has not got is 5G connectivity but that is not an issue at the moment, when it is only nascent for many apps and networks, I didn't think so at least. Facial recognition does not function every time with a glass screen protector. Fingerprint scanner does not function with a glass screen protector. All the accessories - phone wallet, SIM cards, microSIM cards screen and camera protectors - are available and affordable to complete the package.

Ce produit occasion bon : chez Amazon il est comme neuf sans une marque d'usure Mais qui manque du câble et écouteurs c'est tout Je remercie Amazon avec ce prix cadeau.

Buen móvil. Lástima que con el tiempo van perdiendo de todo

très réactif,bonne capacité de stockage,autonomie dans la moyenne,qualité de fabrication,et bonne photos même en lumière artificielle.je joue pas trop avec,mais les jeux basics tournent sans problèmes.bref un bon phone milieu de gamme très supérieur au A70.

Ho aspettato un paio di mesi prima di recensirlo per valutare il prodotto che è arrivato perfetto in tutto. Ad oggi posso dire che ho fatto un ottimo acquisto estetica e funzionalità top.

Das Handy ist sehr gut verarbeitet und fühlt sich sehr gut in der Hand an. Auf Grund der Größe, mit 6,7" ist es ja schon wirklich ein Riese, ist die Bedingung mit einer Hand etwas schwer aber nicht unmöglich. Der Akku hält bei mir ein bis zwei Tage und lässt sich innerhalb von einer Stunde Voll aufladen. Die Kamera oder besser die Kameras, es gibt ja mehrere, machen sehr schöne Fotos. Sowohl bei Tag als auch während der Dämmerung. Die Punch-Hole Selfiekammera ist zudem auch kaum störend. Die optimale Gestensteuerung, zurück oder auf den Home Bildschirm zu kommen funktionieren wunderbar und schaffen durch ersetzen der Buttons unten noch mehr Platz auf dem eh schon großem Bildschirm. Die Biometrischen Entsperr-Möglichkeiten funktionieren weitest gehend einwandfrei. Die Gesichtserkennung ist etwas langsam für meinen Geschmack, tut aber was sie soll. Der Fingerabdruck-Scanner der im Display verarbeitet ist funktioniert bei mir mit einem Panzerglas als Display Schutz besser als bei einer einfachen Schutzfolie. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen man bekommt viel Handy für wenig Geld! Bis auf einen Wasser- und Staubschutz bin ich wunschlos glücklich.
