Samsung Galaxy A70 is an upper mid-range smartphone that offers a phenomenal experience. Samsung says the Galaxy A70 is for the youth market, which is true, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility of attracting a wider range of suitors due to its solid spec list. The price of the Samsung Galaxy A70 in Pakistan is Rs 59,999.
A70 delivers a premium experience at less than half the cost of a flagship phone. It has a very large 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen, which serves as a wide and beautiful canvas to view multimedia content. You will find the power and volume keys on the right side in easy-to-reach positions, while at the bottom the device packs a headphone jack, speaker, and a USB-C port for charging, while the SIM tray is found at the top left side. The four colors available for the Galaxy A70 are; black, blue, pink, and white. A70 is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 675, with two cores running at 2Ghz and six running at 1.7GHz.
At the back, you will spot a vertically aligned triple camera setup. The main 32-megapixel (f/1.7) sensor is accompanied by an 8-megapixel (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens and a 5-megapixel (f/2.2) depth-sensing unit. On the front, selfie enthusiasts will be content with the 32MP (f/2.0) front-facing camera. Samsung Galaxy A70 has a 4500mAh battery, that easily lasted through a full day usage involving; social media activity, listening to music, playing games, making calls, and watching a few YouTube videos. As far as charging goes, the bundled Super Fast Charging adapter took the battery from 0 to 100 percent in just 1 hour and 44 minutes. Memory meanwhile comes in at 128GB, which is a huge deal, further aided by a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 512GB.
