Comparison review
Galaxy A71 5G has a general score of 91.8, which is better than the Xperia Z5's 77.6 overall score. The Galaxy A71 5G is a notably newer cellphone than Xperia Z5, although it is somewhat heavier and just a bit thicker. Both phones we are comparing here include Android OS, but Galaxy A71 5G has a more recent 11 version and Xperia Z5 has Android 5.1, so it offers some additional features.
The Sony Xperia Z5 counts with a better screen than Galaxy A71 5G, because although it has a bit lower resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a really smaller display, it also counts with a little higher screen density. The Galaxy A71 5G counts with much more storage for games and applications than Xperia Z5, because it has more internal storage capacity and a slot for external memory cards that admits a maximum of 1000 GB.
The Xperia Z5's processor is just as good as the processor in Galaxy A71 5G, because although the Xperia Z5 has 3 GB less RAM memory, and they both have the same number of cores, it also counts with an extra GPU. Samsung Galaxy A71 5G features a much better battery performance than Xperia Z5, because it has a 4500mAh battery size instead of 2900mAh.
Galaxy A71 5G captures much better photographs and videos than Sony Xperia Z5, and although they both have the same (4K) video quality, the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and a F1.8 diafragm aperture, the Galaxy A71 5G also has a way more mega-pixels camera and a lot larger sensor capturing more light and vivid colors.
Even being the best phone of the ones we compare here, Galaxy A71 5G is also cheaper than the Xperia Z5, which makes it a simple decision.
