I've been using the same Galaxy A71 5G UW for 4 years now. The phone is still as fast as it was the day I got it. Due to keeping the phone in dark mode, with low screen brightness most of its life, I'm now finally reaching the point where I'm charging twice a day versus having the battery last a day and a half like it originally did.
There are several gripes I have about this phone... all of them fall on Samsung. 1) it's nigh impossible to find a case that fits this thing that ALSO DOESNT JAM THE POWER BUTTON DOWN OR PUT THE PHONE IN RECOVERY MODE. 2) ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND PARTS OTHER THAN THE SCREEN, MAKING REPAIRS A RIGHT PAIN IN THE BUTT. 3) You have 2 choices of buying this phone... most people make the mistake of buying it from Verizon. WITH THIS PHONE, BUY IT UNLOCKED, OR NOT AT ALL.
Other than those gripes, this is a nice phone, and it's gonna be a damn shame when I'm ultimately FORCED to retire it. Yeah, you really that right. If I can't get a new battery and case for this thing, I'll be forced to upgrade... but I don't want to lose my 3.5mm headphone jack yet!!
Edit: please note, I bought mine UNLOCKED from Best Buy those 4 years ago. You probably won't find a device like this new anymore.

I can't even use it. The performance is absolute GARBAGE! Do not buy because the battery life only lasts 6 hours or less for me, One UI is constantly crashing and I have to go back to the lock screen constantly, and videos constantly lag even on 480p! WORST SMARTPHONE TO BUY!

My A71 5G UW has pretty short battery life. I had an A70 and it would last 2 to 3 days, but this one only lasts about 18 hours.

Current phone I'm using, it's my first time using a samsung galaxy again in many years (my last was the samsung galaxy s4, which was genuinely not a good phone for me), and I gotta say I am enjoying it so far. Only major gripe is the camera, even though its very heavy in pixels , zoomed in pictures even if slightly tend to look more like a painting than an actual picture. I got this for a heavily reduced price via trade-in. I'm not sure if I would've purchased this at its full price (about 500 USD on Samsung's website) whatsoever as you could arguably get better for that price range, but this phone is pretty solid.
