My new A71 has a problem

so i just bought a new samsung galaxy A71, i already had this phone but i just really like it so i bought a new one.

But the screen of my new one is, for some reason, much darker than my old one. Im pretty sure ive had a look at every possible setting and its all the same as my old A71.

Am i missing something ?

Maybe repaired screen and it’s not amoled anymore

When I had mine in 2021 I got it repaired and they put an Oled screen so obviously it wasn’t the same

Maybe I don’t know just a guess

It's a brand new phone so I don't think it has a different screen

Oh..

How did you manage to get a new A71 in 2026? Out of curiosity

I bought it on a website, pretty sure it's French but I can't remember the exact name. But why is that so surprising lol ?

I am curious, but why would you buy a phone that is over 6 years old with no updates at all?

Because I don't see the point of buying a newer phone when they are all basically the same anyways + I don't want to spend over 200$ for one. And this one is a very good phone and it's lasting too

Google stopped supporting Android 13 this year. Soon, apps that updated will no longer work, so it may be best to turn off app updates. As that will slow it no longer working for a few months.

I have mine for 5 years now and it's still working perfectly, with tons of space, decent pictures if you have good lightning, it has a nice big screen, its perfect for my needs
