Samsung Galaxy A70 6GB 128GB
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.

Samsung Galaxy A70 Black Smartphone SM-A705MZKVVNZ review
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.
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.
Greay phone ?
Great phone ... well worth the $$ . . Love the large screen and how quick it is .deff worth getting if your after a new model phone.
Samsung Galaxy A70: Mid-Range Giant in Review
Samsung's Galaxy A70 is a decent smartphone. However, it will have a very hard time standing out among the huge variety of mid-range smartphones despite its impressive hardware.- robust and slim case, 3.5-mm headphone jack, dual SIM, VoLTE, VoWiFi, LTE Cat
- 11, decent GPS, 128 GB of internal storage, fast Wi-Fi, bright Super AMOLED display, decent battery life, fast-charging power supply
- no IP certification
- triple-camera only mediocre at best
- PWM flickering
- mediocre gaming performance
- throttling under load
Samsung has charted the course for its comeback in the mid-range segment with the rejuvenated Galaxy A-series, introducing a new lineup that has seen flagship features trickle down the price ladder.
- Good
- Beautiful Super-AMOLED display
- Impressive slow-mo video recording
- Good battery life and fast charging
- Bad
- Bulky and heavy
- No camera night mode
- No OIS or EIS
Samsung Galaxy A70 review: Redefining the premium mid-range segment
The sub Rs 30K price bracket isn't as populated as the sub Rs 20K price range but we do have some gems here which include, but not limited to, the POCO F1, the Nokia 8.1 and the OPPO F11 Pro.
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.
Samsung Galaxy A70 review: The Avenger is here
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...
Screen cracks when in pocket.
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...
