The Galaxy A70 is a midrange phone that, like all Samsung phones in this price range, performs way above expectations.


Nothing midrange about the display

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.


Setting the scene

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  


A phone that likes drama

Another cool feature of the A70 is Super Slow-Mo Video which can add great drama to what would otherwise be everyday video footage.


A master of multitasking

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.


Easy unlocking and fast charging

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.

A newer model Samsung Galaxy A71 6GB 128GB was released in January 2020.

Manufacturer: Samsung
price $240.00 - $399.00

Great phone. I did my research and knew the fingerprint scanner was not the greatest. I use the facial recognition more then the finger.. plus I use. The added trusted location to ease the fingerprint use. Phone is fast and takes good pictures. Battery is great, plus the fast charging is great.

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.
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • 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

Good battery - weak screen

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.
