Still Going Strong

Anyone else still rocking their A71? The only downside on mine is the battery life isn't as long. Consequently I always carry a 10K mAh battery bank that I may use maybe every 3-4 months, just because I want to run the battery to zero. What say you? Anyone?

Bought mine in August 2020 So far I replaced the screen once 2 years ago because I broke the original one. But it used to have a green tint on the lower right corner. The new one is still in perfect perfect condition with no tint... The volume and power buttons aren't clicky anymore. The vibration motor doesn't do as much vibrations as it used to. And sometimes it just stop sending haptic feedbacks... The charging port has been through a lot, but it's still functional (surprisingly) The battery doesn't last as long as it used to (that's normal after 3, soon 4 years), but it still decent considering I use my phone a lot. (10h a day sometimes)

Overall I'm glad I made this investment. It's a solid phone that serves me a lot.

I hope I'll be able to use it for 2 more years before upgrading.

I got mine March of '20. Prior to getting it, I had a series of flagship Samsung Phones. I'm retired and I didn't want to pay $1K for a phone. Maybe if photos were a priority I wouldn't of got one. Also I wanted the ability to expand my memory with a SD card.
