Samsung Galaxy A71 fans in India will be able to lay hands on it starting Monday, February 24. Another big Samsung release, the Galaxy Z Flip is also set for launch next week. But it’s not like either device will be eating into the other’s market. The Galaxy A71 is priced at Rs 29,999 while the foldable phone is pegged at Rs 1,09,999.
The Samsung Galaxy A71 is a mid-range option playing successor to the A70. At a glance, it’s better looking than its predecessor and sports four rear cameras instead of three. The notch in the front display is gone. The A71 flaunts an Infinity-O Super AMOLED display of 6.7 inches with a punch-hole style front lens.

The phone is powered by a 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging support. It features a fingerprint sensor as well as facial recognition for quick unlocks. It runs Android 10 melded with Samsung’s One user interface and embeds a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor instead of Exynos.
