Author’s Opinion
The Samsung Galaxy A70 is a mid-range premium smartphone. It comes with an elegant design and a bezel-less display that compliments the overall look. The processor is strong enough to handle a number of functions as we have seen on Redmi Note 7 Pro.
Talking about the competition in this price range of around 29K, the real competitors of this smartphone are Poco F1, Vivo V15 Pro, LG G7 ThinQ, Asus Zenfone 5Z and Nokia 8.1. So, the competition in this price range is comparatively low.
If compared with the competition, the smartphone is offering a feature like Super AMOLED Display panel, In-display fingerprint sensor, bigger battery, Samsung brand value, 25W fast charging, Triple cameras, etc.
Overall, We recommend Samsung Galaxy A70 to buy in this price range. However, at the time of writing this article, our first recommendation will be Poco F1 (Flash Review).
