Can you sug... moreBest way to prove your phone is genuine is to registered for warranty using your imei or Serial number, only genuine phone can be registered in the official Samsung website.
My phone even shows it has 5.5 inches screen & 3000mha battery (CPU-Z apps).
Anyway I can registered the warranty using it's imei & I gets firmware update from Samsung, so obviously is genuine.

, it even stated 5.5 inches screen, so much for the accuracy of information in these apps.
Probably the data is outdated base on A70 & some God know specs they key into the apps....lol
I won't even take it with a grain of salt.

It didn't say anything about Camera upgrade like S20 just enhanced performance, bug fixes e.t.c. I'm in Canada and I'm hoping your own update will come soon so relax.

So I'm thinking it could be the fast charging cause normally as I heard snapdragon phones tend to last longer. I have started applying methods of improving battery life as suggested but I don't think I'm seeing any improvement yet. Or maybe things will normalize later. Lol!

Dr., 11 Jul 2020I wish there was an option to upload the battery usage screenshots here. Battery performed wel... moreSuperfast battery charging heats up the battery more during charging so yes, Superfast battery charging will theoretically wear the battery faster than regular quick charging or slow charging especially when the charging time is extended due to a deeply discharged battery (Ex. 5% battery left before you charge the phone).
Allowing battery to drain to low levels (below 20%) before recharging also accelerates battery wear and deterioration, just as leaving the phone on the charger for long hours even when it's already fully charged. Using the phone while charging and running a processor intensive task (like gaming) while charging heats up the battery more and accelerates battery wear more than when phone is idle during charging.
As for chrome draining 1% every 10-12 minutes, it's probably within normal range especially when on mobile data with weak network signal especially when frequently downloading stuff on Chrome or watching video laden websites.
However, if just reading news or browsing text and photo only sites (no videos), you'll likely get lower battery drain than that. Of course, screen brightness levels also matter and so is enabling dark mode which can significantly save battery life on amoled based displays.

My mom bought the A71, we were satisfied with it but when it comes to internet connection, its not that good. And its not our wifi problem because my sibling can even play heavy games in our laptop and computer using our wifi my phone can even watch youtube nonstoo without any connection problems. But with my moms phone it always say No internet connection then we restar her phone again then it will come back to normal, internet will be fine again but just like 5 minutes after her phone will say Connected without Internet. Can you guys please help and tell me whats wrong. Does it need software update?

Anonymous, 10 Jul 2020Try rebooting your A71 or shut down and restart. If it doesn't solve your battery issues,... moreI wish there was an option to upload the battery usage screenshots here. Battery performed well overall yesterday after the initial quick drain from 100% to 70%. I restarted the device. Although, the notifications are disabled for apps like YT, Twitter etc and are put to sleep when not in use. I went a step ahead of it and hibernated them through Greenify. I noticed some improvement in battery drainage. I'm still on April security Patch. No June update here yet.
I talked to Samsung representative and she told me to restart the device and optimize etc. Also said that I should wait for an update and it seems more like a software glitch. If the issue persists, I will see the service center on Monday.
I have few queries about this phone. Can you please answer them?
> In long run, does fast charging hurt the battery life quickly as compare to normal charging? Considering I don't let my device drop below 40% and have no emergency to get quick charge.
> When I'm browsing through Chrome which mostly involves reading and no multimedia use and brightness to 0%, the battery drainage is 1% every 10 to 12 mins. Is it normal when I've just Chrome running?
