Massah.GH, 04 Dec 2021Bought my A71 in Feb 2020, and its still going strong. i like the camera and video speciall... morei was interested into A73.. but if the rumors are true that would ship with Snapdragon 750G, that's bad, and won't be worth, despite having 108 megapixel camera.. as for now, A52s 5G is better opinion since it has Snapdragon 778G, but with less megapixels camera (and probably A73, would have telephoto camera, another positive for A73). But let's wait maybe it wont be SD 750G after all

Bought my A71 in Feb 2020, and its still going strong.
i like the camera and video specially in dim environment.
battery is great and re-charging (25W) is super fast for me.
it is 6GB/128GB but it handled my additional SD card 128GB well.
The downside is that if you activate Always On Display, it will kill your battery even if you are not using it. I charge to 100% before i put it to Flight Mode in the night. In the morning, it is down to 70%.
But overall, i am one happy A71 user.
if i have to upgrade, i'll wait for A73.
cheers!

And what kind of data, aren't you using cloud technology like ? As far as i know, there's Samsung cloud, Google cloud too, Microsoft OneDrive etc. that's your problem

The fourth time I sent the phone to the service centre, they told me the sub board, charging port and some other parts need to be replace. All the data in my phone is not recoverable.
Still not recommend Samsung Galaxy A71.

I've been using A71 for 9 months and I need to send the phone to service centre 4 times because it does not charge.
First time it happened because I charged the phone with power bank. Second time, using a different charger. I've learnt my lesson that this phone is extra fragile. So I bring the original charger everywhere I go and I only use it to charge A71.
Guess what?
Charging port failure 3rd time and 4th time happened.
I used to be Oppo phones user for years. Those phones are definitely cheaper than Samsung A71 and I never need to send my Oppo phones for any repair over the 3 years (3 years for F1 and F11 respectively) I'm using them.
This charging port issue gave me a lot of hassle since I heavily depends on my phone for work. No games and heavy app inside all purely text, documents and photos.
I have my lesson learnt, no more Samsung phone in the future. It's been a terrible experience.
Hope Samsung fans don't be sour here. I'm sharing my first hand experience.
