The Galaxy A70 is a midrange phone that, like all Samsung phones in this price range, performs way above expectations.
The Galaxy A70 boasts a maximised 6.7-inch screen and an FHD+ SAMOLED Infinity-U Display. The 20:9 aspect ratio provides a viewing experience that will make you think you're watching a premium priced device.
Scene Optimiser is one of the most talked about features when it comes to taking happy snaps on the triple camera set up which consists of: 32MP low light, 8MP ultra-wide and 5MP Live Focus. Scene Optimiser uses AI to help you get the most brilliant shots in a wide range of settings and subjects, ranging from people to food, nature to animals, mountains to beachside, snow to sky, and so much more
Another cool feature of the A70 is Super Slow-Mo Video which can add great drama to what would otherwise be everyday video footage.
Many phones in this price range struggle with multitasking, but the A70 is more than capable of doing several things at once without compromising performance. Put this down to the superfast Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 Octa-Core processor combined with an impressive 6GB of RAM.
It's a breeze to unlock your phone with on-screen fingerprint access. Once the phone is unlocked, it will keep going for longer with a power-packed 4500mAh battery coupled with 25W super-fast Charging.
Manufacturer: Samsung
If you were to go on the street and ask people what they know about Samsung's smartphones, most would say they're aware of the company or at least know of its Note or S-series flagships.
Long lasting battery; Premium design; Snappy experience
Lacklustre camera; Lacks IP68 water/dust resistance; Lacks stereo speakers
With so many different Android phones to pick and choose from, finding the right Samsung mobile device for your needs can be a bit of an uphill battle. With several different options at pretty much every price point imaginable (from budget up to flagship) Samsung has you covered.
If there's one thing I can never forget in my long term experience with the Samsung Galaxy A70, it is One UI. Gone are the days of Touchwiz and the annoying bleep-bloop sounds. Also gone are the days of Samsung's illogically priced mid-range phones.

Great Super AMOLED display; Small chin; nice design; Smooth and fluid performance; One UI ease of use; Great super slow mo and stabilized video recording; Ample storage and RAM; Below average stills camera; Slow in-display fingerprint scanner; Materials are not that premium
The Samsung Galaxy A70 retains the majority of what makes a Samsung's flagship smartphones appealing at half the price.
Great software; Surprisingly good performance; Solid camera
No water resistance or wireless charging; Large form-factor
Having navigated that dangerously fine line between affordability and high-end features, Samsung appears to have stumbled on the right ingredients with the Galaxy A70. It might lack the fancy rotating selfie camera of its pricier A80 counterpart, but in the areas that matter the Galaxy A70 is just...
Impressive battery life; Massive Super AMOLED screen; Superb triple camera array
Weaker performance than cheaper Galaxy A50
The Samsung Galaxy A70 is equipped with a large 4,500mAh with their Super Fast Charging tech and a bundled 9V/2.77A charger. When put to use with an average use scenario with data on all day, several hours of WiFi connectivity in between, auto screen brightness and constant use of social media plus...
Good battery life, fairly nippy performance, excellent Super AMOLED display, has a dual SIM and microSD card slot
Plasticky build quality, pricey for what you pay for, Underwhelming cameras
Battery life excellent - normally charge up in the car for 30 mins each day - might drop to 75% charge at the day where my previous phone would be dead. Big problem I have is the screen cracked within 3 weeks of ownership - phone has not been dropped and only i ever put it in the front pocket of my...
Phone charges quickly and battery lasts all day with my normal use unlike the phone I replaced. After having the phone 3 weeks took it out of the pocket to find a crack in the screen - not dropped the phone or sat on it - never had a cracked screen before.
The Galaxy A70 is a substantially stronger effort than the A30, and promises "flagship level" features in a premium mid-range device. From a tri-camera setup to in-display fingerprint sensor, and almost two-day battery life, the Galaxy A70 packs plenty for under MYR2,000.
Aesthetically pleasing; Expansive; bright screen with Widevine L1 support; Better than average performance; Good camera; Scene Optimiser; Big storage + microSD expansion; Surprising low light camera performance; Ultra-wide angle lens is useful; Long-lasting battery; Fast-charging + fast charger...
Fingerprint and scratch/scuff magnet; Camera slow to focus; Disparity in quality between main camera and ultra-wide; Speakers not loud enough; Optical in-display fingerprint scanner not the fastest nor most accurate; Tends to over blow highlights on photos; That annoying Bixby Vision button; Price...
If you're keeping an eye on Samsung's mobile strategy these days, you probably noticed that the South Korean firm has been super-active in the mid-range market, despite investing aggressively in flagships as well.
