How much will it cost? We think the A71 will be priced between P21,000 (around ($412) and P23,000 ($451), as its predecessor, the Galaxy A70, got a P20,990 ($412) launch price in the country. Unless the company will surprise us.

Announced alongside the Samsung Galaxy A51 in Vietnam, the Galaxy A71 features four rear cameras headlined by a 64-megapixel shooter. The selfie camera, on the other hand, is 32 megapixels. It also has a big, 6.7-inch AMOLED display and an equally large battery at 4,500mAh. The rest of the specs can be found at the end of the article.

How about this Android 10 phone’s lookalike, the Galaxy A51? For now, there’s no word yet on when it’s coming to the local market. But we’re hoping its launch will be scheduled for this quarter, at least.
