Description

This is Samsung’s upper midrange smartphone of the A Series if budget smartphones. It is expected to be of a slightly better performance than Galaxy A50 since in this series the higher you go on the ladder the more value you get. That being said, I will also make reference to the Galaxy A70 while reviewing A80 with the same informed mindset. If you are interested to know more about the other A Series models then feel free to check out the full website of Gic Computers for them and more.

Design and build

A plastic body with what seems to be metal frames is the build of Galaxy A70. Okay even though the front is made of glass, we would have loved to see at least a metal build on this smartphone. Plastic just makes it feel inexpensive. Anyway, moving on. This back panel has a triple camera on the top right corner and it is in vertical orientation. There is Samsung branding on the middle top. Yes, its back is as clean and neat as that. Usually we would have seen a rear mounted fingerprint scanner but that isn’t the case since this feature has been embedded under the Infinity-U display of Galaxy A70. It works well but with a slight delay. The bezels on here also appear to have been made slimmer especially on the chin. The bottom has a USB type C port, 3.5mm jack and a bottom firing speaker grill.

Display

Samsung Galaxy A70 is a multimedia smartphone. Meaning it delivers the best experience for multimedia interactions like gaming, watching videos, music and so on. It is no wonder the display included on it is a Super AMOLED panel with 1080 x 2400 pixels (~393 ppi density) resolution. Although Q-LED is usually preferred over other panels for multimedia smartphones, Samsung decided to stick to S-AMOLED because it is power efficient and still hold delivers a great viewer experience. It is the type of display that will have wide viewing angles and clarity even when out and about under direct sunlight and such conditions.

Camera

The arrangement of cameras on the back is as follows. At the very top is a 5MP depth sensor (telephoto lens would have been a better choice though), in the middle is its impressive 32MP lens and the last is an 8MP ultra-wide lens for fitting more content into the picture. The depth sensor works its magic in image separation by blurring back/foregrounds for example. There is a front facing camera with a 32MP lens. I don’t think anyone out there needs orientation on what the wonders such a selfie camera can perform. I’ll assume we are on the same page with this one’s ability to impress.

Video recording is another important thing to mention about the primary camera since it shoots 4K videos. You can add dramatic details to every action with Super Slow-motion video shooting. Play around with it you will see how much more it offers.

Battery

You will also love the lengths of hours its non-removable Li-Po 4500 mAh battery will take you. And with fast battery charging 25W it takes less hours to charge a capacity as large as this.
