Both these smartphones have now been succeeded by the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 that come with upgraded hardware and designs, while retaining the essence of what the Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A70 were about.
Somewhat already reviewed the Galaxy A51 earlier, and today considering looking at the Samsung Galaxy A71.

The specs of the sub-Rs 30,000 smartphone include a Super AMOLED Plus display, Snapdragon 730 SoC, 64MP quad cameras and Android 10 out of the box.
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A71 is a solid upgrade to last clear Galaxy A70 and Galaxy A70s smartphones.
The large AMOLED display remains stunning as ever, while the internals have become more powerful thanks to an efficient Snapdragon 730 SoC at the core, which also helps deliver a long-lasting battery life. That being said, the Galaxy A71 finds itself among the likes of the phones like the Redmi K20 Pro and Realme X2 Pro that offer better specs at lower prices.

The front camera is a 32MP f/2.2 sensor that can capture bright and clear selfies in daylight.

Even with beauty effect disable, there is some softening, and this will intensify as the sun goes down.
Performance and software
Performance of the Galaxy A71 has been upgraded thanks to the Snapdragon 730 SoC that’s steering the ship. This is a 2.2GHz octa-core processor that is based on a very efficient 8nm process.
This mid-range processor is known to offer good performance, and is almost identical to the Snapdragon 730G chipset. The latter was launched by Qualcomm to offer a slight improvement in gameplay performance. The Snapdragon 730 chipset is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB internals storage on the Galaxy A71.
Right out of the box, the Samsung Galaxy A71 feels fast and smooth while browsing through the UI, opening apps and scrolling through web pages. We did not encounter any lags or crashes during usage.
The smartphone breezes through day-to-day tasks and is also quite capable at running graphic intensive games like PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile on high graphics settings. Not only do these games run smoothly, but they look great visually on the large AMOLED display.
Coming to the software, the Galaxy A71 runs Android 10-based One UI 2.0.
The software offers a clean visual interface that is easy to use by both young and old alike. The general user interface is easy to use and you get useful features like Samsung Pay,
Always On display and dark mode, among other things.
That being said, the phone comes with some bloatware as well with preloaded apps like Booking.com, Snapchat, Helo, DailyHunt and so on that can sometimes push out spammy notifications.
Talking about the in-display fingerprint sensor performance, we found it to be mostly accurate and generally fast at reading and unlocking the device.
The phone also comes with face unlock that is slower and unreliable in low light conditions.
The single bottom-firing speaker volume can be underwhelming if it is set on anything other than the maximum level. At its loudest, the sound is mostly clear but can get a little pitchy.
Battery
The Samsung Galaxy A71 houses a 4,500mAh battery just like the Galaxy A70s and Galaxy A70 before. We were impressed with the battery life that the previous two models offered and the Galaxy A71 is no different. The phone easily lasts well beyond a full day on average to above average usage.
On days with heavy usage like playing graphic intensive games and streaming videos, the smartphone will last a full day.
