The A71 5G is solid all around. A snappy CPU and solid system RAM (with up to another 8 [I think] GB of RAM Plus) gives it all around a smooth feel. The screen is solid, though a bit dim in sunlight and with noticeable ghosting when quickly moving dark items around a bright screen. It's totally bearable, though. The battery is about two days max with a few hours of use and responsible brightness use and power saving measures in place. All in all, it's definitely a phone I plan to use for at least three, hopefully five more years.
Unfortunately, at least with my refurbished model, the fingerprint scanner isn't working. It seems to be an inconsistent hardware or firmware issue with phones from around the time period, and it might require servicing. Fortunately, it gives you options for unlocking it and in well-lit rooms, the Facial Recognition is passable. And I could be unlucky with the fingerprint reader. It's definitely not a common problem, but might be worth keeping in mind if you buy something refurbished.

Incredible!! BEST PURCHASE EVAHH!!
First, I always thoroughly research reviews and weigh the negative reviews seriously, and discerning if there is an theme of overall dissatisfaction-especially on specifics. So, although I did see some negative ones...the majority of reviews were pretty good! So although I understand reviews can be subjective based on preferences and expectations, I have to say my experience with this phone and purchase has been ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! 10 STARS!!!**Second, I did order this one after I made the mistake of not realizing I needed to check compatibility of the carrier on an unlocked phone. I know, I know....but to be fair, before this purchase I haven't had a phone upgrade since 2016-not even 4G, sooo. So if you are looking to upgrade a phone and stay with your carrier, make certain your unlocked phone is also compatible with the carrier you use!**Anyway, back to the review.I ordered this 9pm on a Sunday and received it at 8am Monday via Prime. The box it came in was in excellent condition; completely sealed and not a mark on it. I opened the box, saw what looked to be a phone that was in perfect/brand new condition. No kidding! This phone had not a scratch, scrape, fingerprint on it. It had a clear plastic cover over the screen and came with one SIM/SD card key, one USB plug and one USB cord (in original package).As soon as I plugged it in, it was already charged at 44%. Popped in my SIM/SD card. I powered it on and it was FULLY UNLOCKED for T-Mobile. I started the Smart Switch to transfer my data from my old Samsung. Within less than 20 minutes; all of my data, pictures, videos, apps, messages and all other data was fully transferred to the new Galaxy A71 5G.I unplugged the phone when it was at around 88% and have been using it nonstop for about 7 hours to sign in to all of my apps, take many personal and business calls (long ones), many texts as well as customizing my preferences; and it is STILL only at 36%!Calls are crisp, speed with everything is lightening fast, ringers and sounds are perfect and the phone on speaker and Duo/Meet for video calls are amazing. Creative and vibrant screen/colors make this an extra special gift to myself even better and more enjoyable.I am over the moon with this purchase and my teens can't believe I am now in the Cell Phone 21st Century!KUDOS TO THIS SELLER, WELL DONE!!

Phone can very good no scratches or dents. Picture quality is superb, top notch, very light weight. Only problem so far is the battery doesn't seem to keep up to the hours that it says it should and it heats up when charge. Going to test it for a few mores days and see

I Don't Trust This Company BUYER BE WARE
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024
I had this phone for 5 days. 3 days I did nothing with it. After I charged it each day the battery went down maybe 3 to 5%. The day I added everything to it it kept connecting to the charger. Then I started using it and it seemed like it was being recorded while I was on the phone. The speaker phone seemed to sound like it was under water. So the second day actually using it I came here to get a replacement. Mind you nothing was wrong with the charging of the battery. I plugged it up last night (right after ordering a replacement) and it charged fine. and I went to bed. I woke up to the phone bring almost dead. I unplugged and replaced. Nothing. I realized I needed to factory reset the phone to send it back. As all my personal information is now on the phone. So I tried to factor reset it. It was at 9%. So it wouldn't. Because it needed to be at 10%. The phone began to rapidly lose charged until it got to 3%. I realized the wifi and location was off. So I turned those off. At 3% I was able to remove all the things from the phone but couldn't find the trash to make sure. So I canceled the replacement and I'm charging the money I paid for this one as a NEVER AGAIN LOST! Because I WILL NOT send it back with the possibility of all my information being in the phone. I don't trust this. I feel like this was done on purpose to get information when we send them back.
