The mmWave 5G-ready Samsung Galaxy A71 is hitting Verizon for $650

The Samsung Galaxy A71 sports a 6.7-inch OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 765 processor and comes with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, a quad-lens camera on the rear, and an enormous 4,500mAh battery. It even has a headphone jack.
Verizon will start selling the Galaxy A71 as a pre-order on July 9, 2020, with general sales starting on July 16. You can buy the phone outright for $650 or pay $27.08 per month for 24 months. As a special limited-time promotion, if you add a premium unlimited line when buying the Samsung Galaxy A71 via Verizon’s online store, you can slash down the monthly price to just $15 each month, which would bring the total price for the phone down to just $360. This must be done online to get the discount, though.
