Samsung’s Galaxy Note10 series come with a punch-hole display that is very different from that of the Galaxy S10 series. Not only is the hole smaller but it is also positioned in the upper middle portion of the screen and not on the right. That design will no longer be exclusive to the Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10+ as a new leak has revealed the upcoming Galaxy A71 will feature a similar design.
The leak is a set of 3D renders courtesy of seasoned leakster, Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks. This time, he has partnered with CashKaro. The renders give us an early look at the Galaxy A71’s design.
Samsung has shaved the bezels off on three of the sides and left just a few millimeters at the bottom. The display is most definitely AMOLED but the hole appears to be slightly bigger than that of the Galaxy Note10’s.
On the back, the Galaxy A71 features a rectangular camera bump similar to that of the Smartisan Nut Pro 3. The camera housing is big and holds four cameras arranged in an L-shape. There is also an LED flash beside the sensors.
The black camera housing sticks out like a sore thumb against the phone’s white rear panel but it should be less noticeable on a black variant, that is if there will be one. The back is curved on the sides for a better grip. Since there is no fingerprint scanner on the back, there is definitely one under the screen.
The Galaxy A71 has a USB Type-C port at the bottom and it is flanked by the speaker grille and primary microphone on the right and the 3.5mm audio jack on the left. The SIM tray is on the left side of the frame while the volume and power buttons are on the right.
OnLeaks says the display is 6.7-inches and the phone measures 163.5 x 76 x 9.2 millimeters (including the bump’s thickness).
It has been reported that the Galaxy A71 will be powered by the Exynos 980 processor which means it will have support for 5G. Its model number has been revealed to be SM-A7160 and there are rumors it will launch in China first.
The Galaxy A71 is not the only A-series phone with this design. The upcoming Galaxy A51 whose renders were also leaked by OnLeaks has the same punch-hole screen and rear camera design.
