i have this phone since almost a week and here's my review:
Good phone, solid and at a good price, neat camera performance and fast, good quality videos. Battery lasts 1-2 days depending on usage. On the neg points: missing status LED which i found useful on my S5 and performance of wifi is not "amazing", still can be very good, problem is that the phone only has 802.11a/b/g/n whereas the S5 has 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2.4G + 5GHz, VHT80 MIMO, capable of transmitting via a contiguous 80Mhz channel which explains the higher speeds. And last the stock keyboard does not have haptic feedback when you type. Other than that, great phone

I fully agree, I would add that a fast charger included would be a complete win for this device!

It does connect to 5ghz wifi though right? From what I've heard, A and N bands are 5ghz, although it only uses the fastest band of 5ghz if it has AC.
Someone is selling an A6 for cheap and I'm really considering it. I like the size

Nothing yet? I'm curious about the audio quality aspect as I am an avid music listener
I'm just a normal user with a daily basic task. phone calls, social media, email, watch videos, and music.
Battery life is awesome, on my currently MIUI 11 ROMs from Xiaomi.eu. just little mods on Hosts file to block ads on system-wide.
This phone is very good. I play a lot of game and no lags. Performance is very good.
I love this phone, it has decent display for the price, brightness only drops somewhat when I look at it from an angle. Nice performance for the price, okay camera (Though it suffers in low light, using gcam helped somewhat.) and lastly, that glorious USB-C port on the bottom. Headphone jack too! And one more thing, the phone barely heats up after a long session of gaming. Decent speakers for the budget.
Yeah, but no 5Ghz Wifi and no Android 10, that's really not something you want a manufacturer to cut costs on. I would not have bought this phone if I knew this beforehand. I assumed it would have 5ghz wifi because even the redmi 4x has 5ghz wifi, but don't be fooled, except for the camera and if you like a big display, the phone has actually become worse than 4 generations ago. Redmi is not what it used to be it seems.
I like this phone
My short review after 3 solid years of smart home usage: prayer announcement, doorbell camera monitor, calendar/event reminder and backup phone for kids. 3gb/32gb model.
Really great battery life. More than one week of standby without much issues, great audio, great compact phone, reasonably fast and tough.
Only problem it doesn't like all chargers. For some reason, refuse to charge from my Blitzwolf QC3 35w charger 75% of time. Have to connect and disconnect the cable for it to start (I hear the conected-disconnected audio every time).

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy A71's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?

No different to my S10 S10 plus or any other Samsung I've owned.
Perfect wifi throughout
Worst wifi receiver I've ever used
I come from a Note 2, perfect wifi signal receiver.
I decided to change after decades and bought an A71.
Good enough this phone concerning all but the wifi receiver. It is almost frustrating. While my wife's Hw Y7 and my children's old Samsungs do find the wifi signal at 2 dots I do not see any wifi network available even being in the same identical overrided position.
Very bad thing. Also thinking that if it is so poor receptabling for my safeness, while I'm in the same little space together with people with more dangerous devices I even do risk my health..
In few words: I do not appreciate this from Samsung.
I just bought this phone over the weekend, previous phone was Asus Zenfone 3. Wifi in my house and my parents house seems pretty similar, which is disappointing because I wasn't very happy with the Asus's wifi especially 5Ghz speeds. I did speedtests and ran wifi analyzer on both phones at various points in my house, the Asus typically had slightly better signal strength but similar speedtest result. I compared both against my wife's iPhone XR, that was significantly better in all tests. We have 300mbps internet and an AC3200 wifi router in a ~1500 sqft townhouse. The weakest point for wifi is my office because it's on the opposite corner of the house to the router. The midrange android phones were barely getting to 100mbps on either of my 5ghz networks while the iPhone was between 150-200mbps. When testing near the modem, the android phones would top out around 270mbps but the iphone would go over 300mbps for the duration of the test. On this basis, I am considering returning the phone as I've been working from home for the past 5 months and need my phone to have a strong connection.
it's because high end device have 2x2 WiFi (2 antennas) so the theoretical speed will be double (on 5ghz 867Mbps vs 433Mbps). mid range and cheap phones only have 1 antenna

Good Performance compared to price
I will be straight to the point
in gaming you can run
COD at all max setting with more than 56 FPS
PUBG : Mobile with HD setting and anti-aliasing on with almost 53-54 FPS
This is more performance than what you get on Realme 6 pro as G90T has more graphical power then
720G good for us we are getting powerful device at much lower price.
You won't be able to enjoy that 90Hz screen in this to games cause the process can put out only limited raw power so to enjoy 90Hz refresh rate you need some other games that supports it are easy to run.
In work side of it the phone has quit good screen but not bright enough to see in sunlight you need to find some shadow to clearly see the screen, battery life is great.
Overall a great budget smartphone for gaming and even for work indoors.
I was ready to hate this phone.
But I don't.
I like the minimalist UI, the fact that it runs Android 10, a lot of the pre-installed bloat can be uninstalled, the speed, the memory capacity, the fact you can use 2 Sims and an SD card (this was really why I chose this phone).
And so far, honestly, I don't hate anything about it at all!
i got the bleeding screen after the last update B.31
I buyed too coming from Lenovo P2.
I suggest this phone and the only fault is the screen under the sun that is barely readable.
For 200 euro no phone had this performance , a 90 Hz , triple slot , Jack 3,5 , good battery and nfc
Fine

This device rocks, from a offer standpoint at least. From the reviews i though it would be slow, but the UI is very smooth. Only downside for me is the washed out screen. Maybe a room with a different calibration.
Overall it's a nice phone. Really smooth, decent cameras for the price, awesome battery life (it's easy with a 5000mAh battery and a SoC manufactured on the Samsung's 8nm process).
The screen could be amoled tho, not that the PLS TFT screen on this phone is bad, but it isn't great either.
The SoC has a weak GPU, but who plays games on a phone anyways... For a 720p screen I think it's more than enough.
So yeah, if you want a phone with a battery that lasts you days I can only recommend you this.
Just got one yesterday, easy to set up but colour is very disappointing and very washed out and I can’t find a way to alter the colour. despite what various websites show for improving the vividness on Samsung phones this doesn’t seem to have this function. Also I can’t see a way to have the clock permanent displayed as was available on my old A3
This phone is very beauti

Overall speed

Would you say that the Moto G9 Plus is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Moto G9 Plus exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

I made a little video comparing the g9 plus to the g8 plus
Short review in the description.
G8 hasvbetter audio with stereo speakers, but the g9 is loud and clear on speaker phone, event if I miss stereo..
The fingerprint sensor has improved 10090%, almost too good.
Battery is 1000mah more, soc 8nm, but the display is larger, so it has similar battery performance as g8, No need to charge every day for a normal user. Right now I have been using the phone with screen on 4h7m since last charge, 7 hours ago, and battery is 70%. Been using snapchat and YouTube mostly.
I was hoping for a greatly improved camera, but it's only marginally better. Better "night vision", cool macro lens, but still cannot compete with Samsung mid-range devices...
Was hoping the new cam module, better Snapdragon and improved software was gonna be much better, but
Anyway. I really like this device.
Oh, and I really hope someone comes up with a solution to reconfigure they useless Google assistant button. Would be genius if it could be used for camera shutter...
