Samsung Galaxy A70 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
The Galaxy A70 is yet another device that shows that Samsung is changing with the times. Not only does the smartphone pack in enough to ward off the competition, but also has enough USPs to attract potential buyers, including a large and immersive display, attractive build, great imaging experience, powerful specs... all backed by a sizeable battery. Of course, all of that may not be enough to sway consumers, especially when we consider the competition from the flagship-grade POCO F1. The debut device from Xiaomi`s sub-brand comes with the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 845 chipset, which makes it...

The debut device from Xiaomi`s sub-brand comes with the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 845 chipset, which makes it a hard-to-ignore proposition. When it comes to choosing between the A70 and Nokia 8.1, it all depends whether you value stock Android enough to forgo the triple-camera goodness and battery prowess that the Samsung phone brings to the table. On paper, the Vivo V15 Pro is the closest rival, and if you don`t find the pop-up selfie shooter enticing enough or are worried about its durability, then the A70 would be a better choice. All in all, if you`re looking for a solid option in the Rs 25k-30k price bracket, then the Samsung Galaxy A70 makes a strong case for itself.
Pros
- Large, immersive display
- Loaded specs
- Impressive cameras on the front and back
- Great battery life
Cons
- Slippery design
- Occasional lags in the UI

Design and display
+
It was just in November that Samsung ventured into the notch-toting smartphone era with Infinity U, Infinity V and Infinity O screens. Featuring 19:9 aspect ratios, these screens offer tiny cut-outs or punch holes to hold the selfie shooters. But the brand's latest goes a step further. It features an Infinity-V notch on an elongated panel with a taller-than-usual aspect ratio of 20:9.

Similar to its younger sibling, the Galaxy A50, the Samsung Galaxy A70 ships with triple shooters on its back. The primary snapper however, gets an upgrade to a 32-megapixel sensor with an aperture of f/1.7, while the secondary and tertiary cameras continue to be wide-angle and depth sensors rated at 8MP and 5MP, respectively. Selfie aficionados will love the presence of a 32-meg shooter on the front.

Hardware and software

Yet again, the Samsung Galaxy A70 seems to be a close match to the Vivo V15 Pro. Under the hood, the Samsung handset packs the 11nm Snapdragon 675 octa-core chipset, which comes with two Kryo 460 cores running at 2GHz, while the remaining Kryo 460 cores run at 1.7GHz. The SD675 is aimed at gamers and comes with 612GPU along with game optimisation tools to reduce janks. The smartphone surely delivers on this aspect. Even though I won't classify myself as a gamer, I was glued on the Galaxy A70 for hours playing PUBG, and Unkilled. There was no lag at all, and the phone keeps its thermals in control too.

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy A70 is the most powerful offering in the new Galaxy A series when it comes to the battery. That's because the phone comes with a 4,500mAh cell, which ensured that I didn't need to charge the phone until the next morning, and sometimes, the next afternoon. I usually got a screen-on time of around six hours, which is impressive indeed. On PCMark Battery benchmark, the smartphone managed to last 14 hours and 52 minutes, which is astounding, to say the least.
