The Galaxy A71 sports a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with an FHD+ (1080*2400 pixels) resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio and 393 ppi density. Additionally, the phone is covered with Gorilla Glass 3 on the front but gets a plastic back and frame. The device also features a headphone jack and an under-display fingerprint reader.
In terms of optics, you get a quad-camera setup on the back with a 64-megapixel, f/1.8 sensor at the helm. Complementing that primary sensor is a 12-megapixel, f/2.2 ultrawide lens and two 5-megapixel depth and macro cameras. The punch-hole notch on the front of the phone houses a 32-megapixel, f/2.2 shooter.
While the Galaxy A71 seems like an impressive device, it is expected to face tough competition in India. At its price, the A71 will come up against smartphones like the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition, Asus 6z, OnePlus 7, Realme X2 Pro and Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro.
