Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Coming To Verizon With Snapdragon 765 Chipset
Samsung appears to be working on a new version of the Galaxy A71 5G for Verizon's network. The handset recently passed through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certification processes with the model number SM-A716V. The Bluetooth certification also specifically mentions the device name as "Galaxy-A71-5g US VERIZON."
Unlike other US mobile carriers, who offer low-band 5G (sub-6 GHz), Verizon's 5G network is deployed using the mmWave technology (high band).
This means phone makers will have to add mmWave antennas in their 5G devices for Verizon to carry them. And this is precisely what Samsung is doing with the Galaxy A71 5G, similar to how it released a version of Galaxy S20 5G for Verizon's network earlier this week.
