This phone would have been the perfect midrange had Samsung equipped it with USB C 3.1 like the tab S5e. Wireless screen sharing to huge screen Samsung tv's can stutter at times and wired video out capability through USB C 3.1 would have been perfect.
Also, an IR blaster will really bring back users who went with Xiaomi, (Samsung's biggest competitor in India) just because Samsung no longer offers built in IR blasters.
Another killer feature would be the XCover Pro's removable battery. A bigger screen option would also attract the disgruntled Xiaomi Mi Max ultra big screen fans to a 'PLUS' version of the A71. (Xiaomi discontinued the Mi Max series.)
Put all those in the A71 successor and the succeeding phone (A72+) will have absolutely ZERO competition, bringing back all those who went to other brands because of missing features. Samsung just might win back the Indian market with an A72+ with these features.

AlexxB, 08 Mar 2020Sadly it's not just me who notice better picture quality in... moreLook, you can continue to believe that your 5 year old S6 with inferior sensor technology, smaller aperture lens, single camera setup with limited RAM and limited photo and video processing capability and which scientific, controlled, and standardized camera lab tests have confirmed to be indeed inferior to the new A71, really is superior based on your judgment and testing. And that people who have observed your anecdotal, unscientific, non-standardized, subjective, 'personal' testing using a demo unit A71 at a retail shop strengthens your argument.
I am extremely happy for you and for other people who you have convinced to not buy the A71 because the photo and video quality is 'worse' compared to your single camera, 5-year old, smaller sensor, smaller aperture S6.
You already have shown your 'truth'. No point convincing A71 owners/potential buyers that your 'truth' is the one true religion unless we are talking about beliefs and religion.
This argument will never end because your comparison is based on your personal testing. The scientific method requires a laboratory controlled, standardized setup - measured lighting, identical framing, calibrated equipment and reproducibility of results by other laboratories. The testing you did was based on a quick, retail shop testing as you never really took the A71 home. Making other people agree to your anecdotal testing does not improve credibility, reliability and repeatability of your arguments or results.

Also when I shown and asked a few days ago when a BRAND NEW 2020 Galaxy A71 STOCK (I believe you know why I said stock and know what stock is) that I had in one hand COULD NOT RECORD in 60fps and my 5 years old S6 on the other hand RECORDING at 60fps the guy in the showroom responsible for the phones just shrugged 'his shoulders'.
You just can't see what's in front of your yes, people are not the same I am not judging.
Like I said I only like QUALITY in everything.
So your next comment will be the same that I should believe the lab test and so on and that my eyes are not seeing correct because A71 camera is better than S6 and all 5+ people that I shown the pictures have bad eyes and I should stick to my 5 years old S6 phone and so on. FYI I will not stick with my 5 years old S6 but I will buy a phone that has at least an equal quality camera than S6 but not an inferior a71 camera.
With this is mind I will not reply to you anymore because this had already taken a lot of time for me to write and I have other things to do.
All the best to you mate! :)

I just bought the A71 for the asian market and the phone is simply amazing. It looks very good in real life, much better than all the pictures you saw with it. The bezels are super slim and the phone looks very similar to Note 10+ which is another thing I love about it. My phone has 8GB of ram, comes with screen protector on it and a TPU case which is good in quality. The option super steady works very good but it's available only for FullHD. The battery last me one day considering that I am using the phone very heavy and it's always connected to WIFI or 4G and to my smart watch. There are 2 big downsides you have to consider : 1. The plastic used is super cheap, reminds me of Samsung's days of S3, S4 etc and 2. There isn't any kind of stabilization in 4K and that's super lame since the phone has 4K recording. Other than what I mentioned, there isn't anything else that I don't like about it. My previous phone was S9+ so I was sceptical coming to A71 but all of my worries went away. The S20 series are too expensive and I am not paying that amount of money.

ThaisJF, 06 Mar 2020I created an account as it would be easier to keep track of... moreSince you want a Samsung phone that will last you 4-5 years, I'd say get a phone with removable battery and LCD display. Amoled doesn't maintain good colors over the long term and sealed batteries will need replacement in 2-3 years and there likely wouldn't be any available by the 2nd or 3rd year.
Your best bet would be the Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro: removable battery and IPS LCD screen. Here's the gsmarena link: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_xcover_pro-10001.php

Besides, gsmarena's photo compare tool and my own personal experience confirm my evaluation that the A71 has indeed, a much better camera than the S6.
You however, think and say otherwise and don't believe standardized lab tests by gsmarena and would rather only trust your own unscientific, subjective, non lab controlled, standardized comparison. Well then, I won't question your subjective camera evaluation. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Majority of the A71 owners find the A71 camera output way superior to the S6 output and gsmarena's photo compare tool confirms that.
You on the other hand, say otherwise and only believe in your evaluation. Good for you then. Enjoy your 5-year old S6 then and let A71 owners enjoy theirs. End of discussion.

Thank you to the Anonymous user who replied to my question! Between the A71 and A70, I will def set for A71!
However, I went to the Samsung store yesterday to see what it looked like live and this phone... Is way too big. I am a girl with small hands so it put me off a little.
Which Samsung phone at this price range would you guys recommend in that case? I am looking for a phone that will last 4-5 years, with an average usage (heavier task it will perform is Netflix and Pokemon Go, maybe writing on Google Drive).
A71 is still my best option, because it's an amazing phone for someone like me, UX wise but I'm worried about it's size.

I will not talk about RAM, CPU, Storage, battery because they are better in the A71 model this is nothing to compare and to talk about.
I am only commenting on the CAMERA PICTURE AND VIDEO QUALITY.
I made the EXACT photo with S6 and A71 and zoomed it and for the S6 the picture is more visible as for the A71 when zoomed in the picture is blurry!!!!!!! With all camera setup!
In specs and technology the A71 should be better that's why I bought the phone but the quality of the picture is inferior to S6 when comparing pictures.
Not to mention that the VIDEO RECORDING had NO 60FPS options!!!
Yes they released the firmware a few days ago with this option now available.
I owned samsung models since S2 (S5, S6, S10+) and A71 and I am a person who likes quality over quantity so I was disappointed when saw a picture taken with a new phone form 2020 that is inferior to a 5 year old S6 phone ONLY in the CAMERA department and quality.
This discussion with you will never end because I say one thing and you will say another thing and non of us will be convinced.
Once again I only made this account and comment because I was disappointed about the CAMERA quality of my new A71 phone when compared with my 5 years old S6.
Cheers mate!
