Comparison review
The Galaxy Fold has a score of 97.6, which is better than the Galaxy A71's 87.5 score. Both of these devices work with Android OS (Operating System), but the Galaxy Fold has 9.0 Pie version while Galaxy A71 has Android 11, providing you lots of additional features and performance optimizations. Galaxy Fold's body is much heavier but a little bit thinner than Galaxy A71, and both were only released with a couple of months difference.
Galaxy Fold features a little bit better performance than Galaxy A71, and although they both have a Octa-Core processor, the Galaxy Fold also has more RAM. Galaxy A71 and Galaxy Fold count with very similar screens, because although the Galaxy Fold has a quite lower pixel density, it also counts with a slightly better 1536 x 2152 resolution and a little bit larger screen.
Galaxy A71 captures better pictures and videos than Galaxy Fold, because although it has a tinier aperture and lower video frame rates, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, the Galaxy A71 also counts with a much larger back-facing camera sensor and a camera with lot more megapixels.
The Galaxy Fold features a much better memory for games and applications than Samsung Galaxy A71, because although it has no external memory slot, it also counts with more internal memory. The Galaxy A71 features a little longer battery performance than Samsung Galaxy Fold, because it has a 4500mAh battery capacity instead of 4380mAh.
Although Samsung Galaxy Fold is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Samsung Galaxy A71, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Samsung Galaxy A71. So if you want that extra features, you can buy Samsung Galaxy Fold, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Samsung Galaxy A71, giving up a couple specifications.
