Samsung has started rolling out its latest security patch for the Galaxy A71 smartphone.

For those unaware, the Samsung Galaxy A71 was released in December 2019. After almost 4 years, the device is still receiving security updates. The smartphone was launched with Android 10 onboard and later on was upgraded to Android 13-based OS One UI 5 in 2022.

The September security patch has reached far and wide internationally, addressing over 60 security vulnerabilities found in the previous update. The patch will be visible with the build version of A715FXXU8CVI3, and the size will be around 485MB. These security fixes will provide the Galaxy A71 with improved stability and bug fixes. It is worth mentioning that the device has been running Android 13 for quite some time and may not receive the Android 14 update.

The Galaxy A71 owners can check for the new update by navigating to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Alternatively, users can go to Samsung’s original firmware database to download it manually.

In related news, Samsung has recently released a special series of foldable smartphones in China to support charitable causes.

A new issue has surfaced in the Samsung smartphone lineup, with the appearance of a white line on the display. This time, the problem has affected a Samsung Galaxy A71, marking a departure from the previous cases involving green, pink, or purple lines seen on flagship models like the Galaxy S20 Plus, Note 20 Ultra, and S21 Ultra.

Similarities with Previous Display Problems on Samsung Flagships

A user took to Twitter to report the presence of a white vertical line on their Samsung Galaxy A71’s display. Notably, the device had not been dropped or damaged prior to the appearance of the line. In response to the issue, Samsung requested the user’s contact details through direct message, following their usual protocol for addressing consumer complaints.

This incident comes shortly after Samsung provided a free screen replacement for Galaxy Note 20 Ultra users who experienced green and pink line problems following a June 2023 software update. The issue seems to extend beyond India and affects various Samsung models equipped with OLED screens from Samsung Display.

While Samsung has not officially acknowledged the problem, their swift action in replacing affected OLED screens and batteries at no cost suggests a potential fault with either the software or the screen itself. The appearance of a white line on the display of the Galaxy A71 highlights the need for further investigation into the underlying causes of these screen issues.

The Galaxy A71 was one of the best-selling Samsung smartphones in 2021. It debuted with One UI 2.0 based on Android 10. Being a popular device, it got almost all the new features from the company throughout last year with numerous software updates. Now, the handset has even started receiving the Android 11-based One UI 3.1 update.

Samsung has been delivering stable One UI 3.0 (Android 11) update for eligible devices worldwide since December 2020. In fact, the company has been pushing the update well ahead of schedule for multiple devices.

However, the Galaxy A71 did not get this update when its sibling Galaxy A51 began to receive it. Now, as the South Korean tech giant has started seeing One UI 3.1 minor update (debuted on the Galaxy S21 series) to its portfolio, the Galaxy A71 is being updated to this version directly from One UI 2.5, just like the Galaxy Tab S6.

The One UI 3.1 update for the Galaxy A71 is currently live in Poland, as per SamMobile. The software build for this region comes with firmware A715FXXU3BUB5 and February 2021 security patches. The OTA update weighs around 2.7GB.

That said, we expect the firm to extend the availability of this update to more regions in the coming days. If you own this device, then head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether your device has received the update.

*-The Galaxy S20 FE started receiving it a  few days ago but Samsung had to pull it back reportedly due to various issues.

Samsung launched the One UI 3.1 back when it announced the Galaxy S21 series of devices in January. These devices are the first ones to carry the UI out of the box. It then started updating the older devices by pushing the UI update via OTA(Over-The-Air).

Anyway, the latest update is rolling out to various regions in the UK, Europe(like Austria, Germany), and South Korea. If you are someone living in these regions, you can try out the new features by navigating to Software Update in Settings.

The One UI 3.1 brings features like Improved performance, Private Share, GPS location data removal on Images, more Lock screen widgets, Background Video Calling, Google Discover on Home Screen, Zoom Lock(in camera), and more.

That said, a report by Sammobile says that Samsung hasn’t brought the Google Discover, Google Messages to the devices with this update. This means it is still exclusive to the Galaxy S21 devices for now.

The Galaxy A71 is one of the best-selling Samsung smartphones in 2020. The handset did so well in sales that the company has promised three generations of Android updates for it. The South Korean tech giant even rolled out some Galaxy S20 features to this phone and Galaxy A51 along with an exclusive AltZLife feature. Now, surprisingly, it has also begun to receive One UI 2.5 update as well.

When Samsung announced One UI 2.5, it was revealed that the update will be only available for Galaxy S, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab S, and Galaxy Z series. However, the company is now seeding this update even to the Galaxy A71 that comes under Galaxy A series.

That said, though the update is called One UI 2.5, it does not bring all those high-end features. Instead, it comes with some minor additions that anyway still improves the overall experience of the software.

Some of these features include “Network Quality information Display” that shows the speed of WiFi connections, “Request Password” to request WiFi password from the nearby connected person who is in the user’s contact list, support for Bitmoji stickers on AOD, YouTube search within Samsung Keyboard, support for split keyboard in landscape mode, and an SOS feature in Messages app that sends location information to selected contacts for every 30 minutes for 24 hours.

Samsung launched Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 earlier this year in India. Due to GST (Goods & Services Tax) hike on mobile phones, the price of these smartphones was increased in April. But now, after five months, they get a permanent price cut of up to ₹2,000 ($27).

The Galaxy A51 is one of the best-selling smartphones worldwide ever since it released. Though it pales in comparison with devices from other brands in its price segment in countries like India, it still manages to keep up with the competition with the help of brand identity.

This handset launched in the month of January in India in a single 6GB + 128GB storage configuration for a price tag of ₹23,999 ($326). In April, this amount was increased to ₹25,250 ($343). Then, in May, the company launched a new storage variant of the device with 8GB + 128GB configuration for ₹27,999 ($381).

Now, the price of the base variant has returned to its original amount of ₹23,999 (₹1,250 off). On the other hand, the higher variant now retails for ₹25,999 (₹2,000 off).

Similarly, South Korean tech giant launched the Galaxy A71 in India in February for ₹29,999 ($408). Unlike the previous device, this handset is still only available in a sole 8GB + 128GB variant. The price of which was incremented to ₹31,999 ($435) in April. But, its price tag has been lowered to 30,999 (₹1,000), which is still more than its launch price.

The permanent price cut of these two Samsung handsets in India comes after the launch of Galaxy M51. Though we haven’t tested out the Galaxy M51 yet, it is better than the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71, at least in terms of specifications.

However, these two Galaxy A series phones are eligible to get three generations of Android updates and they even run proper One UI with support for Samsung Pay,  features from Galaxy S20 series, and a new feature called AltZLife.

Just last month, Samsung rolled out an update to Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 globally with features from the Galaxy S20 series. Now, once again, the company announces a new feature called AltZLife specifically for the Indian variant of these handsets developed by a team of young engineers at Samsung R&D Institutes in Bangalore and Noida.

Alt key on Windows computers is used in shortcut combination with Tab key to switch between running applications. In a similar fashion, Samsung’s AltZLife feature will let users switch between normal and private mode on their smartphones by double-pressing the power key.

The engineers at Samsung came up with these features using insights from consumer research. According to a research conducted by the company, 79% of Gen Z customers admit to having content on their smartphones that they don’t want their family or anyone else to access it. This led to the development of “Make for India” features – “Quick Switch” and “Content Suggestions” as part of AltZLife.

Samsung already offers “Secure Folder” powered by “Samsung Knox” security to store valuable private data (pictures, videos, documents, etc), apps and even duplicate apps. The new “Quick Switch” feature allows users to quickly switch between the private space (Secure Folder) and normal space (regular homescreen, app drawer, and apps) quickly by double-pressing the power key.

For instance, if a user is on their private WhatsApp and someone they don’t wish to sneak on them comes nearby, then this user can double press the power key to switch to the normal WhatsApp app on their phone. 

EDITOR’S PICK: Poco X2 Review: A Star in the Mid-Range segment, even Six Months Post Release!

This action can be carried out on any screen and its function changes accordingly. If the user double presses the power key inside an app for which they have a duplicate version, then the action will let them switch between the two instances of this app like the above example. 

Whereas, if they carry out the action on home screen or app drawer, the phone will launch the Secure Folder. It is worth noting that the system prompts authentication while switching between two spaces. Hence, no other people can access the private data of users.

On the other hand, “Content Suggestions” when enabled automatically identifies faces and categories of images the user had earlier selected private with the help of on-device AI and moves them to “Secure Folder”. Therefore, users no need to worry about adding them manually.

These two features are currently limited to the Indian variants of Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71. Samsung has already begun the rollout of the OTA update that adds the above-mentioned two features.

Though Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S20 series is not doing well, its mid-range devices like Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 are selling like hotcakes across the world. In fact, the former was the world’s best-selling Android smartphone in Q1 2020. That said, to further improve the experience of users, the company is seeding out new system update, which brings a bunch of features from its flagship phones.

Talking bout cameras first, both the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 users can now enjoy a ton of camera features from the Galaxy S20 series. The new update whose build number will vary by regions will bring features like “Single Take”, which allows users to record quick 10 second videos with various modes like Live Focus, Smart Crop, and AI Filter.

Other camera features that come with the new update include more Pro Mode functionalities like Manual Focus as well as Shutter Speed control, Night Hyperlapse, and My Filters.

Further, the update also brings Quick Share and Music Share to seamlessly share pictures, videos and music with other users. Also, it adds features like translations directly from the keyboard, swipe left/right gestures to undo/redo keyboard actions, enhanced search bar in the app drawer, and Clean View as well as Quick Crop in the Gallery app.

Samsung has begun to roll out this update and it will be reaching all the variants of Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 very soon.

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.

In Setpemeber, Samsung had announced the Exynos 980 as its first 5G integrated mobile chipset. It is designed to power upper mid-range phones. Now, the official website of the company has detailed information on the specs and features of the Exynos 980. The Exynos chipsets are primarily used by Samsung to power its range of Galaxy devices. However, smartphone-makers like Meizu and Motorola have used them in the past. Vivo is the latest vendor to borrow the Exynos 980 chipset for the upcoming Vivo X30 smartphone. It is also speculated that the rumored Galaxy A71 phone could end up as the first phone powered by the Exynos 980 SoC. 

Samsung Exynos 980 Specifications and Features

Samsung listed the specifications of the Exynos 980 on their official website, and its major highlight is that it has a built-in 5G modem.

The advanced DSP and NPU allow on-device AI-powered tasks rather than sending personal information to the server for processing. Effectively reducing response time, improving security and data privacy. The Exynos 980 enhances smartphone applications with better content filtering, secure user authentication, intelligent camera, and mixed reality.

The Intelligent pro-grade camera on the Exynos 980 supports up to five individual sensors. The SoC is able to process three sensors simultaneously, offering a true multi-camera experience. The processor supports sensors up to 108-megapixel and up to 20-megapixel + 20-megapixel dual cameras.

It is designed to possess complex computing capabilities required to handle higher demands in the 5G era. The SoC comes loaded with the ARM Mali-G76 MP5 GPU that offers the ultimate 3D processing capabilities required during an intense gaming session. The GPU reduces gaming lags and loading times considerably.

The multi-format codec (MFEC) on the Exynos 980 supports 4K UHD encoding and decoding at 120fps. Users can blur out the video backgrounds by adding greater depth-of-field, using the NPU’s AI capabilities. Exynos 980 also supports Wi-Fi 6 that offers faster speeds allowing a lag-free online gaming experience or buffer-free high-resolution video streaming session over the Wi-Fi network. The chipset also supports Bluetooth v5.0 for multi-device connectivity and GNSS for accurate location mapping.

In related news, Samsung has been struggling in the Chinese smartphone market for a while. Things are so bad that the company stopped manufacturing phones in China since October 2019. It is now hoping to arrest the declining sales figures with 5G. The company plans to bring the Galaxy Fold 5G to China as the W20 5G powered with the new Snapdragon 855+ SoC on Nov. 19. It is also expected to introduce 5G-enabled smartphones under the Galaxy A-series. In September, Samsung had launched the Galaxy A90 5G as an affordable 5G-ready flagship phone in China.

The Galaxy A71 is believed to be the next affordable 5G phone from the company. It could be Samsung’s first 5G mid-range smartphone to be powered by the Exynos 980. It remains to be seen whether it goes official before the Vivo X30 series that is slated to go official next month in China. Samsung currently uses flagship chipsets like the Snapdragon 855 and Exynos 9825 on its premium devices. It needs a cost-effective 5G SoC and that is where the Exynos 980 fits the equation.
