All models have Infinity-O, 4-kilo front displays, a quad rear camera array and hefty 4,500 mAh (milliamp Hour) batteries.

While the A51 5G has a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display, the A71 offers a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display for those in need of more screen real estate. In terms of the main camera on the rear, the former’s clocks in at 48 megapixels and the latter at 64 megapixels; complementing these, each also has a 12-megapixel Ultra Wide camera, 5-megapixel Macro camera, and 5-megapixel Depth camera.

Finally, each comes with 128 Gigabyte of internal storage, 6 Gigabyte or 8 Gigabyte of random-access memory, and Micro SD (Secure Digital) supports up to 1 Terabyte.
