    Awesome mid range phone for the price. I love the screen size, the response, and the feel of the phone. It has amenities comparable to higher end phones, this includes the iPhone 12. I have both phones. The fingerprint center is pretty decent as well. However, I don’t like the one speaker and sound quality. Overall though, it is a wonderful phone, highly recommended for work, communication, surfing the net, etc. As I use this phone more I will update my review.

    I love this phone I bought 2. One for me and the other for my hubby. The only thing I will say don't get the insurance it's garbage..You won't get a new replacement you'll get a refurbished one that is trash....The price was a bit nuts but worth it..Oh the camera is good for the price front & back camera could be better.. Oh also they could make these so they can charge with the wireless charging pads or whatever...

    Was looking for a good phone for wife. Since it's larger, that helps, but having a big battery so that she can go thru the day without recharging. It's not waterproof and does have a earbud plug..it seems the same as a Samsung S20+. It's is a shame that Best Buy charges to activate if you're not AT&T, Verizon or Sprint. I brought this to use with Cricket, (which is owned by AT&T). Cricket quietly told people we have 5G, but didn't tell them that they charge extra.

    Great phone! Has an amazing camera, and I currently have it on AT&T and it works flawlessly. Would highly recommend! I can't believe how fast and seamless it switches between apps and scrolling. I switched to this phone from the Samsung Galaxy s9, and I definitely like this phone better. Don't get me wrong, the s9 was a great phone the whole time I had it but I'm glad I got this new phone. Battery life is fantastic and can easily go 1 1/2 to 2 days on a single charge depending on use. The quick charge feature works great and will charge your phone VERY quickly and you can always switch it to regular charging if you want. If your trying to save a little bit of money and want a decent unlocked phone, this one will not disappoint! It is also 5G compatible!

    This phone was a great alternative rather than spending 1000 for a phone. Ive had mine for almost 2yrs now and still works good. The volume can go very loud and the battery lasts long. And the camera is good, not the best but still good. And it chargers very fast!

    A71 5G is a Samsung Flagship

    About 4 years ago I broke my iPhone 8 Plus and was forced to use a Galaxy S6 for about a month, until my upgrade was available, at which time it was fairly well known by my family and friends that I would be leasing the newest iPhone X because until that point I had only ever owned an iPhone. Imagine the surprise when upragded to the Samsung Galaxy S9+ that has just been released... i didn't discuss it, but within 24 hours of using the S6 (now 3 flagship S Series phones old) i knew that i was never going back to Apple, iPhone, or iOS and i was immediately hooked on what was then one of the later versions of the "Samsung Experience" OS. Since then I have owned the S6, S9+, Note 9, Note 10+, Note 20 5G, and currently the A71 5G. It's currently running Android 11 and OneUI 3.1 with 128GB storage and 6GB of RAM so with the exception of the "glastic" material on the back (which i actually like plus i have a case covering it) it looks, feels, and acts identical to any current Samsung Flagship phone. The screen size is the same as the Note 20, S20+ and S21+ while being larger than the S20 and S21. The display (while not being 120hz) is gorgeous and the cameras are definitely more than enough for how i use them but clearly not on par with flagship models. The battery is All Day, sometimes All Day, All Night, and All Day again and it charges from 0% to 100% usually in 56 minutes. You cant go wrong with this phone for the price. My unlocked version on T-Mobile has the same blazing 5G speed that my Note 20 5G saw.

    This A71 5G phone has so much going for it. It is a big step UP for me in my phone journey. Just love everything about it. the screen size is perfect for me. The camera has me taking photos and trying new ways to make my photos special. The resolution for every part of this phone makes it easy to use and results are awesome. The speed of the phone is amazing. There are so many I am still learning about my new phone. Everything I have tried thus far really confirms that I made the RIGHT CHOICE with this SMART PHONE

    I bought this for my wife who has a tendency to somehow always blaming the phones she has had in the past, for things such as running out of battery, hard to use, etc. So, it is very refreshing that she has had not a single complaint, In fact, she is loving the phone & the awesome camera on it.

    Overall I think this phone is a great value for the price. It has a great camera, and enough RAM and storage space for most uses. I tend to have a lot of apps open at once, and so far I have yet to notice a slow down. I have definitely enjoyed this phone with a couple exceptions. The phone seems to be a little glitchy. One of the main problems I have had is when doing a google search, the search sometimes doesn't show any results unless I hit search again several times. Another small issue is when touching the onscreen fingerprint reader, the accidental touch protection kicks in and I have to swipe it away and try the fingerprint reader again. The only other thing is getting used to Samsung wanting you to use their apps (phone, text messaging, etc.) as well as their backup cloud. These can be easily changed, so not a serious issue, and I knew this when buying this phone. This phone is not water resistant, so if you're looking for that, look at the Galaxy "S" series phones. If you're looking for a great phone with a lot of high end features, without the high end price, this is a great option.

    The Galaxy A71 5G is a very nice phone. It has a lot of features of a more expensive phone such as the Galaxy S20 5G phone which I purchased last year. The Galaxy A71 5G is a little bigger than the Galaxy S20 5G and I prefer the smaller size phone. The quality of the phone for the money makes it a good buy.
