Samsung Galaxy A70 (Blue, 6GB RAM, 128GB Storage)

I got my A70 for closer to 25k which I think is a fair price to pay for this phone. Everything that follows is influenced by the price I paid for this phone, I don't reccomend paying more than 25-26k max, just be patient and wait for a good discount.I don't use face unlock or fingerprint readers in my devices for privacy reasons, so I'm very happy with just picking up or tapping to wake and unlocking with a passcode/ phrase.My first impression upon unboxing was that the finish of the phone felt really premium, it has a nice heft to it and all the seams were super smooth. My iPhone 8 plus is my main phone and this A70 holds its own next to it.The new One UI is intuitive and very, very snappy. You can multitask to your heart's content. There are plenty of options to customise your user experience too.The screen looks massive and is absolutely gorgeous, I just set every app to be full screen and force it to work in split screen mode (developer options) to get the most out of all that screen real estate. The screen also gets nuclear bright so don't anticipate any visibility issues outdoors, it also gets dark enough at the lowest brightness to use comfortably in a dark room while still being clear enough to read and navigate. The auto brightness is simply superb, never once did I feel the need to manually adjust the brightness, you can set it once and forget it.I took all evening minutely tweaking and setting up every option and feature to suit my needs, and the thing that struck me the most was how hassle free it all was. Even though I've never owned a Samsung smartphone before (always preferred to get my android phones from Google), I never once got stuck figuring out a setting, everything was easy to find and navigate to with the super responsive gesture controls.I'm not big on selfies or sharing pictures publicly, I only share pics with family on WhatsApp and use the front facing camera for video calling. The cameras on this phone gave me superb results for my use cases. Family members were really impressed with the quality of my WhatsApp video call (of course your results will depend on your internet speed/ signal strength).The gorgeuos screen, the massive battery, the clean, smooth, snappy One UI, the sleek Glastic body with the drum tight seems, dual VoLTE SIMs and storage expansion options, all this for around 25k is a very good deal in my opinion. All this combined with the Samsung reliability and easy access to support (If you ever need in warranty service) makes this phone a great buy in my book! If this phone is beyond your budget, then go for the A50 instead (don't even think about the M40, its screen is utter trash), the performance difference between them is very negligible.P.s.: Finally, I just want to address a few other issues people are having.Heat - the faster you charger a battery the more heat is produced, and the quicker the battery deteriorates. Only use the super fast charging when you're really hard up for time. I've turned off fast charging in the settings, and it only takes ~25 mins longer to charge up the phone.Slow fingerprint reader - increase the screen's touch sensitivity before you set up your fingerprint, and stick with using just one finger. Also, avoid using screen protectors. They're just not compatible with this optical sensor technology.Hope this review helps you guys make a more informed decision.

Finger print sensor is too bad, reaction time too much and still you get "no match", camera quality is good and battery life is fine too.Surprisingly the inside of the box was crushed however the phone body was absolutely fine when delivered, which brings a doubt to the mind if it's a new one or refurbished also the sim slot ejector was missing for me.

A pretty decent product from the A series lineup in samsung, but it's not a value for money product, there are better phones at a much lesser price with better specs. The major let down of this product is it's under display finger print scanner. Alot of updates have come saying it has improved it. But doesn't seem to have a noticeable difference at all. You are paying for the "samsung" branding and its aftermarket services and that's just all. If you are looking for a value for money product, consider other options..

I am not using finger print sensor and loud speakers are that loud, need to use in vibration mode for not to miss the calls. Otherwise having gud battery duration, best camera and video quality, and attractive display.

Large screen, unique look, slim, fast,...On screen finger sensor is worthless. You have to tap 2 or 3 times, overall worst finger sensor,camera is average for flagship phone, large screen looks very good, battery performance below average, not last a single day.

First of all... Display is undoubtedly awesome.Camera is good . Super slow motion works pretty good. Charging time is around 1:30-2 hours. Audio quality is also ok ok .Only drawbacks is the fingerprint scanner.. means seriously. It's very slow and sometimes doesn't work.

Fingerprint reader is below average, battery life is not upto mark, camera is ok

I have used many number of mobiles. This uptil date has been best. I have avoided samsung phones earlier due to high price and low specs. But this phone is a welcome change. Lots of features in built like call blocker, call recorder, nfc, turbo charging etc. Really smooth phone I have used till date.Camera could have been better. Just got a system update in sep end claiming better camera and fingerprint function.If you have the budget, go for it.
