Compare the Samsung Galaxy A71 to the M31

The Samsung Galaxy A71 has a very large 6.7-inch screen. This large screen offers a lot of screen space for movies and games, but it's hard to operate with one hand. On top of that, the device won't fit in every pocket. You see a lot of detail in your favorite movies and series on the Full HD screen. The selfie camera is incorporate in the screen at the top, so it takes up little space. Are you looking for a smartphone with a comparable, but smaller screen? Have a look at the Samsung A51.

The 6.4-inch screen of the Samsung M31 is smaller, but still large. This means it's also hard to operate this device with one hand, especially if you have smaller hands. Just like the A71, this device has a Full HD screen. This means you can watch movies and series in good quality. The selfie camera is in a notch at the top of the screen, so it's a bit more noticeable. Are you looking for a more manageable smartphone? Have a look at the Samsung A41.

With the Snapdragon 730 processor and 6GB RAM, the A71 is really close to the processing power of the high-end devices. The device is not only suitable for everyday use, but for demanding apps such as 3D games like Fortnite as well. The 128GB storage has more than enough space for all your apps, photos, and files. Still need more storage? You can expand the storage capacity with a memory card up to 512GB. The 4500mAh battery lasts about 1.5 day with average use. Charging goes superfast with the included 25W charger.

The Samsung M31 is suitable for average use. Thanks to the Exynos 9611 processor and 6GB RAM, you can use apps like Instagram, YouTube, and Netflix without any problems. For 3D games or photo editing apps, the M31 isn't suitable. The 64GB storage is full soon if you store many apps and files, but you can expand it with a memory card of up to 512GB if you want. The huge 6000mAh battery lasts about 1.5 to 2 days. You charge at 15W. This is fast, but not quite as fast as with the A71.

You can take standard quality photos with the Samsung Galaxy A71. They're fine to post on Facebook or share via WhatsApp, but they're not sharp when you print them. In addition to a 64-megapixel standard camera, the device has a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens. With this, you can capture large buildings or sweeping landscapes completely in your photos. With the macro lens, objects you photograph from up close are sharp. You can record in razor-sharp 4K quality.

The cameras of the Samsung M31 are of about the same quality as the A71. Thanks to the large image sensor, the camera of the M31 captures more light. This makes your photos more detailed in low light. But photos you take with the 8-megapixel lens are less sharp. Just like the A61, the M31 has a macro lens and a depth sensor. With this sensor, you can create a depth of field effect in portrait photos, for example. The M31 can record in 4K as well.
