Display Comparison

The Samsung Galaxy A71 generally offers a slightly better display experience with its infinite contrast ratio (though nominal) and measured 515 nits brightness. While the Y76s display is good, it lacks specific brightness data. Both offer vibrant colors and good viewing angles, but the A71 has a slight edge.

Camera Comparison

Camera performance is nuanced. The Galaxy A71 has a reputation for reliable image quality, particularly in well-lit conditions. The Y76s camera is competent, but may not match the A71's overall consistency. The A71 variant with the 730G may offer slightly improved camera processing. Both offer Photo/Video capabilities.

Performance

The vivo Y76s's Mediatek Dimensity 810 chipset (6nm) provides a noticeable performance advantage over the Galaxy A71's Snapdragon 730/730G (8nm). The Dimensity 810 offers better CPU and GPU performance, resulting in smoother multitasking, faster app loading, and improved gaming capabilities. The Y76s is the clear winner here.

Battery Life

The Samsung Galaxy A71 shines in battery life, boasting an impressive endurance rating of 102 hours. The vivo Y76s, while having a decent battery, doesn't match this longevity. However, the Y76s compensates with its 44W fast charging, allowing it to quickly top up when needed.

Buying Guide

The vivo Y76s is ideal for users who prioritize fast charging, a modern processor for gaming and multitasking, and a sleek design. The Samsung Galaxy A71 is a better choice for those who value exceptional battery life, a reliable camera system, and the familiarity of Samsung's One UI.
