Reviewers always forget to mention the music aspect of phones. The A70 is a beast with good headphones. Awesome sound. Overall the phone ticks all the boxes. Had it for about a month and I strongly recommend it. Samsung blows away the midrange track with this one.

[@henreeneo]

You're right. I mentioned this in my A20 review and also referenced it in the beginning parts of the video. The audio output in here is really great. Thanks for pointing this out again

I got this phone on August 1st as a birthday present to myself. It's fantastic. Great value for money. I don't game but for my needs which are social media, music and email and pics its fantastic. Save the money on an flagship. Just buy a case for it.

[@rickadrian2675]

Great review. I needed a double SIM phone and swapped from a personal Pixel 2 XL and my work iPhone X. The only downside of this phone over either of them is the in screen fingerprint scanner has trouble as I often work with my hands. The double SIM version is two SIMs and a micro SD and everything about this phone is batting well above it's price range.

[@emmanuelbraimoh8285]

Hi, I regularly watch videos about phones reviews from various tech people about the phones.but they like to review more like flagship phones. And always stress for tech features. But hats off to you ..because what u are reviewing and telling is practically people are doing/ thinking before but any new device..and your review surely helps people because you are not stressing so much on phones upgraded features but optimum use of any individual.

[@dc8official]

Lol! Nice review...i love this guy. I really don't have a problem with someone going to buy a brand new S10 or any other high-end phone. I only have a problem when someone goes to buy a second hand S series at the same cost of this phone.

[@RobsRemixes]

Would not hate on anybody who purchases this phone, the value for money and the specs are awesome. I just decided to opt for the flagship S10+ but we will all be drooling over the new S11 with that 108mp camera and new insanely powered chip.

[@markriley7472]

Well, I was going to opt for A Sony Xperia 5 until I read about the A70! Great review with a lot of common sense! You're spot on about the screens shattering on costly smart phones!! Always reading about this on facebook! All my previous cheap phones have been mishandled and dropped-on most surfaces-but not one has sustained any damage, even if dropped screen down-whilst friends latest iPhones are wrecked lol!The A70 would be a great phone for me! I had one reservation and that was lack of water resistance. However, the other advantages outweigh that-and I'm not going near any water 99% of the time!! (and not going to wash up with the phone in one hand!). Besides, a good case will help! Could actually become Samsung's best seller. I liked your review because it was so enthusiastic and not influencing people to spend more money than necessary! A refreshing change to see this approach, so thank you for your excellent review :)

[@henreeneo]

Thanks. Glad you liked it

[@edmmaster8054]

Been thinking of getting this phone a bit skeptical cus I was thinking it's gonna be too big in my hand but this video confirms it am so getting it. Emerald dear gist me abeg where did you get your, is it in Abuja

[@victorenejo]

I have an opposite opinion about one UI vs Mi Ui I feel like Mi UI is too much... It just isn't neat enough. I feel it's just too heavy and takes too much away from the typical Android experience. They try so much to copy iOS One Ui on the other hand checks all the boxes for me IMO after stock Android and Oxygen os on the OnePlus, one UI is the next in line You spoke my mind about the fingerprint scanner, I mean if it ain't broke, don't fix it. In-display fingerprint scanners aren't as convenient as the rear capacitive ones Great video as always 👊🏽 Love your work

[@henreeneo]

Thanks bro. Appreciate and respect your opinion 💯

[@coincheff]

You are damn right

[@ososanyamoyosoreoluwa3073]

But really man, what really is the good thing about the One UI? I mean, it still has some unnecessary bloatwares, so what's the hype about. I'd pick MI UI a million times over One UI, MI UI has tons of amazing and fun customisation than One UI. Yeah MI UI tends to copy iOS, but, I really don't have any issues with it

[@victorenejo]

@@ososanyamoyosoreoluwa3073 Mi UI have bloatwares too.🤷🏽‍♂️ There's no customization on Mi UI that one UI can't do, they just don't throw it "in your face" like Mi UI. I don't need over customizability, at the end of the day I just need an os that'll work perfectly for me with no hassle and One UI does it for me (I don't hate xiaomi phones. k20 pro is one of my favorite phones) Like I said, "IMO" and I respect yours 👊🏼

[@aditroitz]

Agreed! I've been using mid-range of xiaomi phone. And yes, miui is like shit when you have midrange chips. They giving update fixing the bug, yes they fixed. But the previous bug comes out, they fixed that bug, bring another bug. It's like a loop. Been long time I don't use xiaomi. If I back, I'll try with high end chips, 3phones of my xiaomi use custom rom 😂 now I'm having htc u11, I don't have any idea to move again. Unless it's break 🙄😂

[@NickyM_0]

I personally love that KZbin is in White. Isn't that down to personal preference as opposed to a fault with the phone. Does KZbin show up as dark in Xioami? It would have been very helpful if you had clearly done a closeup comparison of what you mean. Always start with the positives in a review as opposed to diving deep into the negatives! It stops it from coming across as moaning but still loved your review, as usual!

The issue with KZbin remaining white when you have the Night mode on is not a Samsung related issue... It's because it'a a Google app and service. The same thing happens when opening the Play Store.

Hello Frank. That's because of the difference in CPU architecture. the midrange CPU of the A70 emits much less heat, because of the fewer cores at lower frequencies crammed together, compared to the more porwerful S10 CPU

And I only need 6gb ram not 8 or more. And you can't tell the difference between 2k and 1080p. This battery is seriously next gen lasting 2 days on heavy usage and 3 on light usage

[@frankbanini8884]

I disagree with you on the one ui point raised. Its about ergonomics and view clarity. The youtube notification is good with the color

[@markriley7472]

Another thought about camera phones is that none can match a good compact camera for quality. If you buy a mid range phone like this-with a decent camera that is great for casual and fun use-the money you save buying a "flagship" phone can easily buy a good Micro Four thirds compact camera as well, for about the same price, which are superb (e.g Panasonic GX80 with interchangeable lenses!). The cost would be at least £200 less than buying a top phone! As for no weather sealing on the A50, there are lots of waterproof cases available. You are quite right about the Samsung A50 being a better option than the A70. 6.7 inches is a little too much-and also too big for a lot of available phone cases!
