Cameras[]
The Samsung Galaxy A71 has a four-camera setup arranged in an "L" shape located in the corner with a rectangular protrusion similar to that of the iPhone 11 and the Pixel 4. The array consists of a 64 MP wide angle camera, a 12 MP ultrawide camera, a 5 MP macro camera, and a 5 MP depth sensor.[4] It also has a single 32 MP front facing camera, which sits in a small punch hole on the front of the screen. The rear facing cameras can record video up to 4K in 30 fps, as well as 1080p in 30, 240, and 960 fps. The front cameras can shoot 1080p at 30 fps. The rear cameras also have Super Steady OIS.[5]
Software[]
The Galaxy A71 comes with Android 10 and One UI 2. The phone also has Samsung Knox for added system security.[5]
On 18 August 2020, it was announced by Samsung that select Galaxy devices would be supported for three generations of Android software updates, of which the A71 was included.[6]
On 2 December 2020, the Galaxy A71 was announced to be eligible for the Android 11 upgrade with One UI 3.[7]
Owing to the A71 being listed for three generations of Android software updates, it's highly likely that the A71 will receive two more major Android upgrades after receiving Android 11.[6]
