The Samsung Galaxy A71 and Samsung Galaxy A51 smartphones revealed late last year in Vietnam and subsequently, globally, are now joined by two new 5G models, the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G and Samsung Galaxy A51 5G.
Speaking of 5G… its funny how every 5G device is marketed to offer hyper fast network connectivity with incredible download speeds. Like, come on, 5G data aren’t free.
Of course, it would be nice to be able to down gigabytes after gigabytes of content in a jiffy, but will I? Probably not. Data, since 3G time, to me is a precious commodity.
Why do you think Netflix has the feature to download content? Cos’ streaming using data can get pretty expensive pretty quick. That’s just my 2 cents.
So, will 5G entice me? Not at all. More so after the U.S./Huawei fiasco over 5G technology really leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Anywho, as far as the two new devices are concerned, they are pretty the same A71 and A51 you have learned last year. Save for the 5G radio and a tad difference in dimension and weight. Keep going a rundown of the specs of both devices.
