Samsung Galaxy A71 5G, Samsung Galaxy A51 5G Specifications

The Samsung Galaxy A71 5G features a 6.7-inch full-HD+ (1,080x2,400 pixels) Super AMOLED Infinity-O Display. Under the hood, the phone has an unnamed octa-core processor (Dual 2.2GHz + Hexa 1.8GHz). This will likely be different than the 4G model's processor and should include the 5G modem. If we were to speculate, it could likely be the Snapdragon 765G SoC, but Samsung hasn't listed anything yet. The phone packs up to 8GB of RAM and offers 128GB of onboard storage. The 5G model offers microSD card storage expansion up to 1TB, while the 4G model offers expansion of up to 512GB only.

There is the quad rear camera setup on the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G that includes a 64-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.8 lens and a 12-megapixel secondary sensor with an f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle lens. The camera setup also includes a 5-megapixel depth sensor with an f/2.2 lens and a 5-megapixel sensor with an f/2.4 macro lens. For selfies, there is a 32-megapixel selfie camera at the front, along with an f/2.2 lens. The phone also has an in-display fingerprint sensor. It also comes with a 4,500mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging.

The Samsung Galaxy A51 5G, on the other hand, features a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED full-HD+ (1,080x2,400 pixels) Infinity-O Display with in-display fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, the phone again has an unnamed octa-core SoC (Dual 2.2GHz + Hexa 1.8GHz). It packs up to 8GB of RAM, unlike the 4G model which maxes out at 6GB. Internal storage is offered up to 128GB, and even on the Galaxy A51 5G, storage expansion using a microSD card is up to 1TB, and not 512GB like the 4G model.

Additionally, the phone packs a quad rear camera setup that includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor with an f/2.0 lens, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with an f/2.0 aperture, a 5-megapixel macro camera with an f/2.4 aperture, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor with an f/2.2 lens.
