Today we look at two of the most important heavyweights in the mid-range on Android. On the one hand the Realme 6 Pro, and on the other the Samsung Galaxy A71 , a newcomer against the model of the world’s leading manufacturer, but which have a lot in common. We review the characteristics of these two terminals to check which one can best fit your needs.
Two phones that look askance at the high-end with first-class technical specifications, powerful processors and high-quality cameras. Two mobiles that exceed 300 euros and that are one step below some top of the range.
Screen and dimensions
Here there are similar sizes, but different technologies, in the Realme we have a 6.6-inch screen and Full HD + resolution , while in the case of the Samsung we have 6.7 inches with Full HD + resolution, with the difference that here the technology is Super AMOLED. In its favor, the Realme has a 90Hz refresh rate, a trend-setting feature.
The dimensions of the first are 163.8 x 75.8 x 8.9 mm and weigh 202 grams, while the South Korean measures 163.6 x 76 x 7.7 mm and weighs 179 grams, being thinner and lighter. Both have a hole in the screen, although in the case of the Realme in the form of a pill, with two sensors.
performance
Here the Realme has a Snapdragon 720G, one of the most powerful in the mid-range, but it is surpassed by the Snapadragon 730 that the Samsung has.
The units we have looked at offer 8GB + 128GB in the case of Realme, and 6GB + 128GB in the case of Samsung, so in this case there is some equality between the two, standing out in different aspects.
Photo camera
This is a determining aspect, and where Realme shows its power with no less than six cameras . Four rear with 64-megapixel, 12-megapixel telephoto, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and 2-megapixel macro sensors.
In the case of the Samsung we also have four sensors, with 64 megapixels, 12 megapixels ultra wide angle, 5 megapixels macro and 5 megapixels deep . Ahead there are more differences, with two sensors for the Realme , 16 and 8 megapixels, while the Samsung offers a single 32-megapixel sensor.
Battery, connectivity and software
In the battery there are many similarities, with 4300mAh in the case of the Realme and 30 ″ fast charge, while in the Samsung it is somewhat larger, 4500mAh and 25W fast charge. The latter is somewhat meritorious, considering that the phone has a larger capacity battery and a lighter weight.
The Samsung in your favor has the fingerprint reader under the screen and the Realme on the side. Both have NFC, USB Type-C connector, and bluetooth 5.1 in Realme, by 5.0 in the case of Samsung. Both have Android 10, one with Realme UI and the other with One UI 2.0.
Price and conclusion
Here are important differences, because while the Realme 6 Pro costs 329 euros , the Samsung Galaxy A71 is priced at 399 euros , obviously it is an important difference. In favor of Realme we have its screen with a 90Hz refresh rate or the six cameras. In the case of the Samsung we have a Super AMOLED screen, a more powerful processor, a more capable battery, an on-screen fingerprint reader and a lower weight and thickness.
In favor of Realme the price, 60 euros cheaper. Without a doubt if you do not mind losing a minimum of performance, an excellent choice is the Realme. In the case of wanting to have more power at the same time as a more compact and careful design with great autonomy, the Samsung is perfectly worth those 399 euros.
