Samsung Galaxy A71 and Samsung Galaxy A51 photos comparisons and analysis

 Color Test_Samsung A71 vs Samsung A51 

Camera setting
• Auto
Pictures by the A71 have better saturation so the colors seem more vibrant and natural. However, white balance is shifted towards yellow, causing a pale tint all over the image such that brown appears to have a golden glaze. In contrast, on the Galaxy A51, white balance is good although close examination suggests the slightest of blue shift. Colors have relatively poor saturation and appear dull.

 Backlight Test_Samsung A71 vs Samsung A51 

Camera setting
• Auto
The A71’s backlight shots are poor due to underexposure. The image and surroundings appear dark and so do the parts of the subject that are illuminated by the backlight. As such, shiny surfaces on the subject appear dull. The A51 also seems to have underexposure in this mode. However, The A51 has a higher dynamic range and preserves more details against bright lighting than A71 does.

 Bokeh Test_Samsung A71 vs Samsung A51

Camera setting
• Auto
The Samsung Galaxy A71 outshines the A51 in the Bokeh mode test. Although both simulate part of the subject in the background blur, this effect is considerably worse in the A51. While getting an accurate comparison of the two, this problem is noticed around the edges of the subject. For the A71, it separates the leaves edges from the background more accurately owing to its better algorithm. On the A51, large visible chunks around the edge are visibly blurred.

 Marco mode Test_Samsung A71 vs Samsung A51

Camera setting
• Marco mode

While both phones capture images with the same close-up detail, the A71 wins this one. Images have excellent color and texture. This makes it easier to see fine detail. The A51 fails because it has really poor color such that it is difficult to make out surface texture.

 Night mode Test_Samsung A71 vs Samsung A51 

Camera setting 
• Night mode 
• All auto
There are slight differences in this setting. Pictures taken by both phones are very similar until you zoom in the picture. Photos taken by the A71 look sharper and have better texture owing to the 64MP sensor. Pictures have slightly less noise. Unfortunately, light balance tends to be shifted towards blue but nothing obvious unless zoomed in. The Galaxy A51’s pictures have better light exposure but this comes at the cost of greater noise. The grainy texture is noticeable in white areas. The A51 main sensor has a lower resolution and thus images appear less sharp.

 Beauty Test_Samsung A71 vs Samsung A51 

Rear Camera
Camera setting:
• Beauty effect: mid-range
When it comes to the rear camera test, both cameras have faults. Although skin tones look more natural on the A71, they tend to differ from the body’s natural tone. The skin tone on the neck might differ significantly from that of the face, which appears weird. Pictures have poor light exposure so they appear darker. On the other hand, pictures by the A51 under this mode are overexposed so the face appears pale. There aren’t any noticeable differences between the face’s skin tone with that of the rest of the body.

Front Camera
Camera setting:
• Beauty effect: mid-range

The difference between the two cameras is less apparent for the front camera. Still, the A71 produces skin tones slightly different from the rest of the body. This is seen as color slightly shifts towards red. The A51 pictures are still overexposed but to a lesser extent than that of the rear camera. Skin tones are rendered more accurately and more naturally than in the A71.

 Wide-angle Mode Test_Samsung A71 vs Samsung A51 

Camera setting
• wide-angle mode
• All auto
Both cameras have the same field of view in this mode. This can be attributed to their ultra-wide sensors with a 123-degree field of capture. However, the A51 displays uneven tones on uniform surfaces, and colors appear darker than they truly are. Although it maintains more detail and displays features more prominently, this comes at the cost of more noise. On the other hand, the A71 has smoother texture and objects have the same color tone. Colors also appear more natural.

Pros & Cons

Samsung Galaxy A71
Pros

Samsung Galaxy A51
Pros
  1. Better lighting in the night mode.
  2. The Backlight test is acceptable.
  3. More natural-looking skin tone when using the beauty mode.
Cons
  1. Lost details in the low light photography
  2. Images are overexposed under several modes.
  3. Poor Bokeh mode.

Final Thoughts

The A71 outshines the A51 in almost every category we tested. Its most prominent quality was in the color test, where it displayed excellent and vibrant colors. Also admirable was its Bokeh mode test, which is capable of separating the subjects from the background well. It did have relatively poor lighting but nothing that would render it unsuitable to use in night mode. From the assessment above, the Galaxy A71’s camera is the winner. If you don’t mind paying a bit more then no doubt the A71 is the one you should go for.

  1. Using the phone's camera in any third party app such as snap, Facebook, what's app, WILL NOT produce this quality of photos. Any photo taken in a separate app will instantly blurr once taken. Also video quality is reduced to 360p. It is a common bug users of this phone have and no attempt has been made to fix it. Just a warning to future buyers.

    1. Good point. Yes, the resolution and quality would be different when an user uses any other app instead of the original camera.
      Thanks for the heads up. :-)

  7. Samsung's camera is so realistic. It captures the memories in good quality. It indeed is the best. I have been using Samsung for years. Recently I brought a new model of s22 ultra. The phone is so nice and no doubt about the camera quality. I recently brought a Galaxy wood case from an online store. It is the most durable case I have ever seen and it is not so heavy at all. Wow, such a nice thing it is.
