Comparison review
The Apple iPhone 12 has an overall score of 88.7, which is just a bit better than Galaxy A71's 87.5 general score. Even though the Apple iPhone 12 and the Galaxy A71 were released only 9 months apart, the Apple iPhone 12 is just a bit thinner and a bit lighter. The Apple iPhone 12 has iOS 15.x operating system, while Galaxy A71 counts with Android 11 operating system.
Apple iPhone 12 features a faster processing unit than Samsung Galaxy A71, because although it has lesser RAM and an inferior number of cores , it also counts with a 64-bits CPU. The iPhone 12 has a brighter screen than Galaxy A71, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a bit higher 1170 x 2532 resolution and a little more pixels per inch in the screen.
The Galaxy A71 counts with a much greater memory capacity for games and applications than iPhone 12, because it has more internal storage capacity and a slot for an external memory card that supports up to 512 GB. The Samsung Galaxy A71 counts with a really longer battery life than iPhone 12, because it has 4500mAh of battery capacity.
Samsung Galaxy A71 captures greater photographs and videos than Apple iPhone 12, because although it has lower 30 frames per second video frame rate and a smaller aperture which is not favorable for low light photography and videos, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, the Samsung Galaxy A71 also counts with a way higher 64 mega-pixels resolution back facing camera.
Although Apple iPhone 12 is a better device, it costs a lot more than Galaxy A71, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Galaxy A71. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy Apple iPhone 12, else you can save some dollars and buy the Galaxy A71, giving up some specs and features.
