As a refresher, the Samsung Galaxy A71 features a 6.7-inch Infinity-O Super AMOLED display with a centered punch-hole selfie camera cutout. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 730 SoC, has between 6GB and 8GB RAM, and 128GB of expandable storage. The phone is equipped with a 4500mAh battery that supports 25W fast-charging. The Galaxy A51 and A71 will feature One UI 2 based on Android 10 operating system.
In terms of mobile photography, the Galaxy A71 sports a quad-camera module comprises of a 64MP sensor, 12MP ultra-wide, 5MP depth sensor, and a 5MP macro camera. Housed in the Infinity-O display’s punch-hole cutout is a 32MP selfie camera.
