Update, June 22, 2020 (5AM ET)<\/strong>: The Samsung Galaxy A71 5G is now available in the US. We’ve updated the original article below with all the availability details.<\/p>\n

\n

Original article, June 15, 2020 (9:20 AM ET):<\/strong> Samsung first announced its popular A-series<\/a> phones in the US back in April. While the company detailed a total of six phones at the time, it didn’t launch them all of them at once. Only the Galaxy A11, Galaxy A01, and Galaxy A51<\/a> were available in the US until now, but Samsung has just confirmed the release date of a fourth phone in the series, the Galaxy A71 5G.<\/p>\n

When it releases, the new Galaxy A71 will be the only 5G phone<\/a> in Samsung’s mid-range arsenal in the US. The brand is also expected to announce the Galaxy A51 5G at some point, but right now, it only sells the 4G version<\/a> of the phone in the country.<\/p>\n

In terms of specs, the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G brings the Snapdragon 765G processor, a large 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, a 4,500mAh battery, 25W fast charging, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Its quad-camera setup is led by a 64MP sensor. A 12MP wide-angle lens, a 5MP macro shooter, and a 5MP depth camera complete the setup. Upfront is a 32MP selfie snapper.<\/p>\n

Best Samsung phones you can get: High-end, mid-range, and entry-level models<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

All these specs seem pretty solid on paper and could make the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G a very popular device in the mid-range segment.<\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy A71 5G: Price and availability<\/h2>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A71 5G is priced at $599. That makes it almost half the price of Samsung’s least expensive 5G flagship in the US — the Galaxy S10 5G<\/a> — which costs $1,149.<\/p>\n

At that price, the new phone is one of the most affordable 5G-enabled devices available in the US, if not the cheapest. Closest to that price point are the OnePlus 8<\/a> and the LG V60<\/a>, both of which start at $700.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A71 5G is now available for sale in the US. Customers will be able to purchase the phone from Samsung.com<\/a>, AT&T<\/a>, and T-Mobile<\/a>. AT&T is also offering the phone on an installment plan of $10\/month for 30 months. If you take this deal, you also get a $100 AT&T Visa reward card. Meanwhile, T-Mobile installments start at $25\/month for 24 months.<\/p>\n

On Sprint<\/a>, you can get an 18-month Sprint Flex lease starting at $15\/month. Six months into the lease you can either return the phone and upgrade to a new model or buy it by paying a lump-sum or six monthly installments.<\/p>\n

Verizon<\/a> will also start taking pre-orders for the phone on July 9, with sales starting July 23 on the network. The phone will also be available through additional carriers and unlocked by Samsung<\/a> later this summer.<\/p>\n
