Absolutely worth it. Happy, happy, happy!
By ceehee on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020
I came from an aging S9 to this, and I'm incredibly happy with the switch. I actually did use the Pixel 4a for about a week, but I ended up selling it due to Google widgets working inconsistently, as well as weak audio quality/low volume through headphones (big con for me). I had almost decided to wait for the new S21 or to grab a discounted S20, but then I started to wonder...why? Higher refresh rate, Samsung Pay, wireless charging, cutting-edge cameras, 5G...those things don't matter to me (not yet, at least).I'd much rather have a headphone jack than stereo speakers, if I can't have both, as I almost always listen to music and videos through old-school wired headphones. One feature I really didn't want to give up is Dolby Atmos -- I don't use it for music, but it's become a must-have feature for ASMR videos (yep, I'm one of those weirdos). Thankfully, the A71 also has Atmos. So basically, I'm enjoying the same great audio quality through headphones as I did with the S9, without having to buy a USB-C adaptor for my headphones (as I would have done with a new S-series device), and without having to download and experiment with third-party audio enhancer apps (as I did with the Pixel 4a).I just need my phone to do all the basic phone stuff, run my relatively few apps smoothly, take decent pictures & videos, store tons of content, and let me enjoy music and other audio the way I like. The A71 checks all the required boxes for me and a lot more, for much less money than the current and upcoming S devices. It absolutely feels like an upgrade from my S9. It is a large phone, obviously, but I've found that the larger size is easier to type on and enhances my productivity, overall. The glimmering plastic back looks fantastic, too!As far as the in-screen fingerprint reader goes, it works as well as any other fingerprint reader I've had. It has its hits and misses. With this one, at least I don't have to worry about the paint chipping off the fingerprint sensor (which is what happened with my S9).About this bundle: The phone came with the soft clear case (inside the Samsung packaging) and 64GB SD card as advertised. The case is fine, but the SD card is off-brand and wasn't in a sealed package. Just to be safe, I purchased a name-brand SD card separately. And yes, the phone DID come with a film screen protector already installed right out of the box!Network: I'm on AT&T prepaid and have a consistent 4G LTE connection. No issues.

Do not buy this product from BREED!

The Samsung Galaxy A71 was a good phone for the price range. I am not someone who wants all the fancy gadgets and this phone fit the bill. My phone company is Verizon and I was able to transfer all of my old phone apps and files to this new one. It worked perfectly and I was pleased. However, 6 weeks after purchasing the phone it went through an upgrade and lost almost all functions. I could not call or text out or receive calls or texts. I could not access the internet. After trying many online solutions I finally went to the Verizon store for help. They told me the phone was incompatible with Verizon. (I don't know how it worked so well when I first got it!) They said they could not help me because Verizon did not recognize the serial number on the phone. I contacted BREED with the problem and they told me they could not help me since it was beyond the 30-day warranty. This was just 6 weeks past the day of purchase!!! I looked at the original posting on Amazon and did not see any information about this phone not working on Verizon! I am surprised that they were not willing to accommodate me with this unique problem. I emailed their representatives several times to try to work this out, but they were inflexible. In my opinion, this is unprofessional, rigid, and does not accept responsibility on providing customers with quality service. Obviously, if the phone had not worked in the beginning because of incompatibility, I would have returned it within the warranty period. It is clear that this was not taken into consideration by BREED. I will never do business with them again!
