Samsung X002SWBC5L Samsung Galaxy SM-A715F/DS128GB Black (Open Box)

The Samsung Galaxy A71 is the top of the line of Samsung's A-Series phones, and boy does it live up to that title. Let me first say I previously had a Samsung Galaxy A20, which was a really good phone for the price, but I desired more. The A71 has some really good qualities that are a welcome surprise at the price point. Let me start off with the design: The Galaxy A71 is an all plastic build, but do not be scared away by this fact. The plastic back has a really good feel in the hand and has a psychidelic glow in bright conditions. It feels really sturdy in the hand, yet it is slippery like glass (a case is highly recommended). Moving on, you get some cool things that are even forgotten on the flagships. You get a headphone jack! Yup you heard me! I do not care how many people say headphone jacks are extinct; so many audio devices still use 3.5mm and are really good quality. A nice plus when you need that Aux control. The fingerprint sensor is under the display! Its pretty solid, not the fastest but once you get used to it, it works flawlessly. Always on Display! Love having this and coming from a cheap phone it is real nice to see my notifications and the time without turing the screen on. You get 25W fast charging, which the power brick for this charging speed is actually included in the box! Super happy with the charging speeds. No dual speakers, to be expected at a midrange price. The single bottom firing speaker is loud and gets the job done. The display is by far the most enticing factor of the phone. You get a big, bright, crisp 1080p OLED display that is really nice to look at (I am definitely a pixel peeper, on my A20 I noticed individual pixels a lot. Not the case with this phones display). No notch aswell! Only the non intrusive hole punch cutout which is really great compared to a teardrop notch. The battery is great. But do not only look at numbers. Sure it is a 4500mah battery but keep in mind the big high quality display will drain a little battery especially at high brightness. Still a wonderful battery performer though. The cameras are good. 64MP shots look great and crisp. Ultrawide cam is good, definitely better than A20. Depth sensor is a depth sensor. It works. Macro cam is meh. Not really impressed w the macro mode. Needs a really specific distance from the subject so a point and shoot isnt really possible which could cause problems if you need the shot instantly. Selfie cam is fine and will suit your needs! All cameras SUFFER in low light. With lots of light these cameras have unlimited potential. Video surprised me. 4K video on the main cam is really nice! Smooth and crisp. Night mode is ok. Not Google Pixel level but still good to have. Processing and overall speed is amazing. SD 730 chip and 6gb of ram is plenty for the average user. Gaming is still possible but do keep your expectations realistic. Ships with Android 10. As far as accessories included you get the 25w super fast charger like stated before, which is awesome to see. You get a clear case which is awesome aswell. Free protection! Pre installed screen protector comes with, it will get you by just fine. Has Samsung headphones, not AKG but not the cheap crap ones either. Sounds good and has inline controls. Overall the A71 is amazing so far for the price. Such a different experience from cheap phones, you feel like a valued customer who actually gets some useful features in your phone without breaking the bank. Highly highly recommend this phone to anyone with a lower end A-Series Samsung or any older crappy android, while not wanting a 1000 dollar phone. Join the wave of big screens and lots of cameras, you won't be disappointed.
