COMPARISON IN DETAIL (HARDWARE & SOFTWARE)

1. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Performance comparison.


Performance of a device depends on various factors like chipset processor speed ram and GPU if it comes to a device needed for playing games like PUBG. Samsung  Note10 lite and galaxy a71 both the devices are powered with awesome processors, chipsets, GPU and based on android10 One UI2. But our question is which one is better in performance.

Samsung galaxy note  10 lite chipset is Samsung Exynos 9 Octa 9810 which is not the newest one but still it competes the other processor very well in terms of performance and speed. This processor works on four cores which provide the clock speed of 2.7Ghz  with mongoose M3. Whereas, Samsung galaxy a71  is powered with Qualcomm snapdragon 730 which is a newer version but also have some succeeders in market. this processor works on two cores which provide the clock speed of  2.2 GHz with Kryo 470 Gold & 6x1.8 GHz withKryo 470 Silver. A71 is also ahead in terms of graphics as it is loaded with Adreno 618 and the GPU given in Note10  lite is Mali-G72 MP18. In terms of clock speed. Mali GPUs are rich but when it comes to shader cores and configuration, they cannot compete Adreno.

Note 10 lite performs awesome, there is no lag in gaming and delays in opening app and user will enjoy the interface and features provided but there is no doubt it cannot compete the hardware provided in a71.
So, Samsung A71 is the unbeatable winner.

2. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Camera comparison.


In today's life we take pictures and make videos too much that's why camera becomes an important part of our life and everyone wants a smartphone with an amazing camera. So without any delay lets discuss the camera.

Note10 lite has a  triple back camera setup, 12MP Primary camera +12MP telephoto  camera+12MP ultrawide camera, where a71 has a quad back camera setup of 64MP primary camera+12mp ultrawide  camera+5mp macro camera+5mp depth sensor. Both the camera shows the awesome result in video and image stabilisation and the clarity of the photo. Note 10 lite's camera provide image resolution of 4000x3000pixels and it supports video  recording of 3840x2160(4K UHD)@60 fps, 1920x1080(Full HD)@240 fps and a71 provides image  resolution of 9000x7000pixels and supports  video recording of 3840x2160(4K UHD)@30 fps, 1920x1080(Full HD)@240 fps, 1280x720(HD)@960 fps.

Note 10 lite miss the macro and depth sensor modules which are provided in A71 but its camera offers extra features with the Samsung sen. Features provided by the camera of a71 are 8x zoom,  Auto Flash, Face detection, Touch to focus and Note 10 lite is rich in terms of camera feature, it provides basic features like Auto Flash, Face detection, Touch to focus and extra features with S-pen like air doodle S-pen gestures etc.

If we talk about the front camera or selfie camera, both the devices have a  32MP  primary sensor with f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/2.8", 0.8µm which also supports HDR and click awesome images in all the conditions. In terms of video recording, Note10 lite is slightly better because it supports 2160p@30fps and 1080p@30fps and a71 only supports 1080@30fps.

It is really hard to get one out of both the devices based on the specification but according to us Note10 lite perform better in real life and provide very useful features. We also uploaded  the sample shots from both the devices

3. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Storage comparison.


Storage is also an important factor because storing capacity and performance of the device also depends on it. Everyone wants to store the huge number of files on their smartphones for ease of access and gamers want a large number of ram. And it is only possible when your device has a massive storage.

Note 10 Lite is available in two variants, the first variant have 6GB ram and 128GB of storage and the second variant have 8GB of Ram and 256GB of storage. The memory of note10 lite can be extended up to 1TB.
A71 is only available in a single variant which is 8gb ram and  128gb storage and memory are expandable up to 512GB.

Both the devices have LPDDR4 ram but the note10 lite leave more storage available for the user.
In terms of storage, Note10 lite have massive storage.

4. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Design comparison.


In dimensions, there is a minimal difference in both the devices. note10 lite have height, width and thickness of 163.7 x 76.1 x 8.7 mm and A71 have the height, width and thickness of 163.6 x 76 x 7.7 mm. note10 lite is just 0.1mm taller and wider than the a71 which you cannot notice and difference of 1mm in thickness which will not feel you because of its curved design.
Both the devices have the protection of Gorilla Glass  3  at front. The back panel of note10 lite is of mineral glass whereas a plastic back panel is provided in a71 which we think safer than glass as it has low risks or failure after major drops also.

Now, which device weighs more? the answer is note10 lite. Of course note10 lite is 20grams heavier than the a71 but it stores that extra spin inside it so, we can ignore that extra  20gram for such a great feature called  Samsung span which provides you many features.

note10lite is available in 3 colours which are inspired from flagship note10. Aura glow, aura black and aura red.  A71 also comes in three unique colours with an attractive design on the back panel. Prism Crush Black, Prism Crush Blue, Prism Crush Silver

Conclusion, both note10lite and a71 has attractive designs and strong build quality.

5. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Display comparison.


Again, note10 lite and a71 both have the same specification of the display. but don't worry we have a winner in the display section.

both devices have a punch-hole display with the capacitive multi-touch panel which increase their looks more with a screen size of 6.7 inches which have a screen resolution of 1080x2400 pixels, pixel density of 393ppi and 16M colours. They have an aspect  ratio of 20:09 (height: width) and screen to body ratio of 87%. Display of both the devices has a refresh rate of 60Hz.

We discussed the common feature of both the devices now its time to take out the winner.  Note10 lite comes with a  Super AMOLED display and a71 comes with Super AMOLED Plus display.
Although, there is no big difference in both the technology still A71 is a clear winner.

6. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Battery Life comparison.

Battery backup is another major aspect after performance, camera, storage and display because all these hardware are powered by a battery and the ratio of consumption must be less concerning performance.

Both devices come with a huge Li-Po 4500mAh battery, Type-C USB port, and supports 25W fast charging. Charging from 20 to 100% note10 lite takes 01hour 13minutes and 59seconds (according to the test done by 91 mobiles), A71 takes 01hour 46minutes and 01seconds. Note10 lite charges 33minutes faster than a71.
Both note10 lite and a71 provide a decent battery life of 27 hours (1 day) and 42hours (2 days) on normal usage with wifi and mobile data. If you are a heavy user you will get lesser battery life.

No doubts, A71 has better battery life.

7. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Sensors comparison.

Sensors are necessary to support some special features from different applications, everyone gets irritated if some features are not supported by the device because of the missing sensor. But note10 lite and a71 have all the necessary sensor.

Both the devices have an optical on-screen fingerprint sensor for security and also supports 2D biometrics for extra security. Other sensors provided in the devices are light sensor, proximity sensor, accelerometer, compass, gyroscope, and ANT+
S-pen in note10 lite is also featured with some sensors like accelerometer and gyroscope which provides the feature of some gestures.

So, somehow note10 lite is slightly better than a71.

8. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Audio comparison.
Both the devices have our favourite 3.5mm audio jack. Devices come with primary calling mic and have a  secondary noise cancellation mic on top which enhance our experience. Like all high-mid range Samsung mobiles, these devices also have in-built Dolby atmos.

The only difference between note10 lite and a71 is note10 lite miss FM radio, which is important for radio lovers.

9. Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite vs A71 Extra Features.


As an extra feature, A71 only offers wireless screen sharing and 8x digital zoom.

Where note10 is loaded with features, which you can access with the help of S-pen. In-camera note10 lite provide you with the feature of ar doodle you can create with the help of S-pen, you can click images with the help of button given on S-pen and also change the camera from primary to front and vice-versa. Now you don't have to carry your sketchbook and shading pencils everywhere because you can sketch with S-pen more precisely. you can write down notes on the locked screen and access easily. S-pen also provides you features of hovering, highlighting text, copy-paste, picture crop etc. In short  note10 lite is full of fun features.
