While the Pixel 3a out-guns the Galaxy A70 when it comes to photography prowess, we're honestly not sure we'd recommend Google's device over this one. Sure, low-light shooting is better on the Pixel 3a, but we've had so much fun with the wide-angle camera on the Galaxy A70 that we're now wishing that every phone had this feature.

It might lack the fancy rotating selfie camera of its pricier A80 counterpart, but in the areas that matter the Galaxy A70 is just the ticket if you're not fond of handing over flagship-sized sums.

Although facing tough fight from devices like POCO F1 from Xiaomi and Vivo V15 Pro, the Galaxy A70 is well equipped to offer users decent performance across the departments, without making them pay through their nose.

...a pretty good option for those looking for a big screen experience or gaming or content consumption, and is not deterred by a subpar camera. The stellar battery life, Samsung Pay and fast charging are all elements that will be loved by those who spend a lot of time outdoors or in commute...Performance and cameras are going to be discernibly better than those on the A70. But MiUI is not for everyone, and the ageing design might not be suitable for every pocket.

The Samsung Galaxy A70 is one of the most comprehensive packages you can buy right now.

A good alternative to Samsung's Galaxy A70 is Xiaomi's Mi 9 SE ... it might be a tad smaller, however, it is cheaper, faster, and offers a better triple-camera system to boot.

The Samsung Galaxy A70 is the phone that broke my pre-conceived notion that it will be "yet another" A-series phone. Using this phone was a great experience for me and I didn't miss my flagship during that time. In fact, I can keep using this phone no worries.

While the A70 feels and looks like a flagship, it's important to keep in mind that it isn't a high-end device. It features a not-so-great camera, lacks IP68 water and dust resistance and stereo speakers, and only features Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The Samsung Galaxy A70 is more than the smartphone you can get away with, it's one that most people will probably be you'll be happy with.

The A70 isn't as experimental with its design as the Galaxy A80, but there is some comfort in familiarity. But there are two reasons to buy the Galaxy A70 above all else: A large and gorgeous AMOLED display and long-lasting battery.

... a large and immersive display, attractive build, great imaging experience, powerful specs… all backed by a sizeable battery.

...perfect to be your daily driver...Samsung has finally delivered a great mid-range smartphone that can stick it to the Chinese competition.

The Indian Express | Hansa Verma

If you can wait a bit and spend a bit more, maybe the OnePlus 7 could be an option with better specs ... however, those who want to stick to this price-band can look at options like Oppo F11 Pro.

...great for multimedia consumption and can handle day-to-day tasks without a stutter, even holding its own when it comes to demanding games. The device easily sails through a day of heavy usage, and 25W fast charging is certainly an added bonus. On the downside, the lack of a dedicated night mode and stabilisation might prove to be major red flags for photography enthusiasts. Samsung Pay could be useful, but it might not be a major selling point for everyone.
