Comparison review

Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has a score of 88.3, which is just a bit better than Galaxy A71's 87.5 overall score. These devices work with the same Android 11 operating system. Even though the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 is newer than the Galaxy A71, it is extremely thicker and somewhat heavier. Xiaomi Black Shark 4 features a bit more powerful processing unit than Samsung Galaxy A71, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 also has 2 GB more RAM.

Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has a much better screen than Galaxy A71. Both of them have a display with the same size, the same pixels density and an equal 1080 x 2400px resolution. Samsung Galaxy A71 has a slightly better camera than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, because although it has slower 30 frames per second video frame rate, and they both have a same size diafragm aperture and the same video resolution, the Samsung Galaxy A71 also counts with a bigger back-facing camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a back facing camera with lot more mega pixels.

Samsung Galaxy A71 features a much greater storage capacity for applications and games than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, and although they both have exactly the same 128 GB internal memory capacity, the Samsung Galaxy A71 also has a SD extension slot that allows up to 512 GB. Galaxy A71 has a battery performance that's just as good as Xiaomi Black Shark 4's battery duration.

Although Xiaomi Black Shark 4 is a better device, it costs more money than Samsung Galaxy A71, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Samsung Galaxy A71. If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy A71, letting go a few features and specifications, but you'll get the most out of your money.
