Samsung Galaxy A70 review By GSMArena Official

Hey everyone over the past year and a half the smartphone mid-range has become incredibly competitive. Flagship feature has been brought down to more affordable phones and Chinese manufacturers, like Xiaomi, have been hitting hard in 2018. However, Samsung sort of missed the mark, and now they're trying to up their mid-range game with their newest a series. However, the 400 euro or 400 dollar, depending on where you live, price segment, is incredibly competitive. So what does the ACE 70 offer you for the money? I'm Angie for GSM, marina, and this is our Samsung Galaxy a7 deep review, the galaxy. A 70 is not a small phone, however, it's surprisingly thin for how large it is.

The bezels are thin all around. Although the bottom one is thicker than the rest, the notch is small and in contrast with the large screen, you barely notice it. The plastic back, which Samsung coasts glass stick, has a rainbow gradient when it catches the light. It looks a little like the colors you'll see from oil spilled on what asphalt, there's, also the main triple camera setup. Thankfully, the cameras don't stick out very much, so the phone doesn't wobble when it's on a desk.

The buttons are nice and click, and they're placed in a more intuitive position than the s10 series. However, the phone is still pretty wide and Wow when UI helps a lot. It's not the easiest to use one-handed the galaxy a70 collects fingerprints pretty easily, but while they're noticeable, the phone doesn't turn into an oil slick. It tends to be a little slippery, but it's not like a bar of soap, unlike some phones still I'd be pretty careful with it, especially around water, because it has even less IP protection than the original Galaxy a series. As far as biometrics are concerned, there's a face unlock option and an optical fingerprint reader.

If you get used to where it is, you can even unlock your phone without needing to turn on the display. Speaking of the six point, seven inch AMOLED is the biggest selling point of the Galaxy a7 T, both figuratively and literally. This is the biggest OLED screen you'll find in the mid-range galaxy lineup and even one of the biggest in Samsung's lineup. Aside from the s10 plus 5g yeah, it's not quite HD like the s10, but it's a perfect display. It's decently, color, accurate and vivid mode, and it's pretty much spot-on in normal mode.

Brightness gets up to 407 it's if you bring it up manually and if you're in auto mode it gets up to 607. So sunlight legibility is great too, and short. Media consumption is perfect on this device. There's a headphone jack on the bottom and sound isn't bad, but it's not earning any bonus points either in some markets. There's also NFC for easier Bluetooth connectivity.

If your headphones aren't wired and for things like Samsung pay, there's a tiny earpiece above the notch, but it's not used for anything except for calls or there's no stereo, speaker setup. Instead, there's a single onward firing speaker, it has above average loudness but isn't particularly rich in terms of sound quality, so I'm right for the price range. However, despite being really thin, the 70 is packing a beefy 4,500 William hour battery. Unsurprisingly, it got an impressive 103 hours on our battery life tests. It also includes faster charging.

The 50 with its 25 watt charger, mind you. This is faster than the s10 2, and you can get from 0 to 42% in 30 minutes of charging performance wise, the galaxy is 70 performed well, it was about 25%, faster in tasks that required the CPU than the 50. However, the 50 was about 10 percent, faster with graphics performance. This is pretty insignificant in day-to-day usage and for most use cases, but it's interesting to note, and it definitely surprised us, the a7ii sports Android Pi, with their newest one UI on top in classic Samsung style. It's still packed full of customizations and features.

However, it's a huge improvement to previous generations, because everything is much cleaner, easier to find and perhaps most importantly, much easier to reach with just your thumb. This is also why the icons are so much larger too. Samsung also has their own gestures, which work fine, but honestly aren't the most intuitive ones. We've used other than that. You'll still find an always-on display with plenty of options, a digital, well-being submenu.

That shows you how much you use your phone and three power modes that give you a lot of control over your power consumption. The 70s triple camera setup features a 32, megapixel main sensor and 8 megapixel ultra-wide lens and a depth sensor. Sadly, none of them have oh, is by default the phone shoots in 12 megapixels, but you can go to settings and change it to 32. Instead, however, in high-res mode, there's no HDR and unfortunately take a second or two longer to get your shot and the high-res mode daylight. Shots aren't bad, however, detail levels aren't what you'd expect from 32.

Megapixels photos are a bit soft, despite software sharpening, and though this worked for things like grass, you can notice sharpening halos in a couple of places. Still the colors are quite accurate source, good contrast, spite the lack of HDR. The Name range is good too. In the default mode, images are good, but detail and sharpness aren't the most impressive we've seen on a mid-range err. Colors and contrasts are quite good, and that anemic range is simply excellent.

The ultra-wide lens produces heavily distorted images. Still, it fits a lot in the frame, so it's a small price to pay, colors and contrasts are excellent and the dynamic range is improved by the auto HDR in low-light. The 32 megapixel photos are pretty bad, so we'll just stick with the default mode. However, it still has poor levels of detail without HDR, the low-light photos tend to be overexposed HDR fixes that but introduces a few issues of its own, among which is uneven, sharpness or extra softness, possibly due to the imperfect photo stacking and good light. Portraits are impressive, with no abrupt transitions in the background separation they're, not always perfect, but even flagships make blender.

Sometimes the front camera is also a 32 megapixel one, and it too shoots.12 megapixel photos by default images are very detailed and have excellent colors selfie portraits are generally pretty good too, but the phone really struggles with my hair, the Galaxy a7 II can record 4k videos at 30fps they're nicely detailed and have excellent contrast and dynamic range. Colors are accurate too, but sadly, there is no electronic stabilization in Full. HD footage is great, too. Clips are highly detailed, sharp and with little noise. Naturally, colors and dynamic range are as good as in 4k.

The 70 is a perfect all-around phone that extra-large AMOLED is a rarity, and it makes it pretty easy to recommend. However, if you don't need that bigger screen, you don't need that extra bit of battery life. Then it actually goes with the galaxy, a 50 for 90 bucks, less you get pretty much the same camera performance, the same UI and pretty much the same speed, especially if you get the version with 6 gigs of RAM, also, if you're a more interested in photography and videography. Let's get both of these phones, pay 50 bucks more and go with the pixel 3, a still, it all depends on what you need the most and all in all the galaxy. A 70 is one of the best mid-range earns around thanks for watching.
