Samsung Galaxy A70 review

24 May 2019
The Samsung Galaxy A70 raises the bar within the new A series - a completely reimagined lineup to lead a full-scale war in the midrange kingdom. And the rule of the Chinese makers is very much threatened, having already seen what the A40 and A50 are capable of.

I have this phone since May 2019. I loved it, thin bezels, long battery life but it is old now and it drains fast now but can still last up to half a day. I really never mind the not so good camera. It's decent but video taking is what's been putting me off. I never cared for the past few years since I rarely use the camera. I now got the S23 FE mainly for the camera and secondly, games. I still have the A70. I still love it. It actually has thinner bezels than S23 FE😂

    I got my phone sinced 2018/2019,im very happy with my phone. No problems at all. Its smooth,nice camera, anti virus always working, never got problems when im install apps or when listening music,or play games.
    Day by day i know the battery gos faster... I wake up about 11am and 4pm battery almost gone.

I don't know how...and why it's not charged. No answer and simply says that to change motherboard at cost of 12,500/.
      Now again I changed to OnePlus 10R

          Good phone during all of its life time ..
          !---->> but it SUDDENLY DEADS with NO way to RECOVER DATA!!!!
          Worst experience ever .. when all your 3 years memory are lost for no reason (Not chocked neither touched by water)
          So don't be tricked with its 'fictional' specs.

My A70 s... moreI had that problem 3g only and couldn't make phone calls, called t mobile and they mailed me their new 5g compatible sim card and pesto, problem fix, my 4g lte appeared., But sad news tmobile is making room on their network and 3g, 4g, LTD is on its way out, that's why they recently had a free phone trade in...essentially any workable phone for a Samsung galaxy A32 5g FREE give away.

                    Unfortunately I'm not sure that's right. My A70 shows LTE near the signal strength indicator but AT&T has on more than one occasion told me that their network sees my phone as only 3G. The 6 different people I've talked to can't explain why it's seen as 3G, and I got six different reasons trying to explain it.
                    AT&T sent me new phones (low end Alcatel) free of charge but I'm not even sure I'm going to stay with them since no one seems to be able to answer my questions. I pay too much money each month to put up with this kind of crappy technical support.

                            ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED with Samsung because of this phone. For this price, terrible performance, slow, terrible camera, Poor build quality, etc. I've been a samsung user since the 2012. Terribly disgusted that samsung does not treat current Mid-range users well.

                            Will never support samsung again.

                              I was just told by AT&T that my phone will no longer work after 2/22. Anyone know
                              if the phone will be obsolete after that?

                                I bought this phone last year for my birthday and also for my wife, what I must say is that I never regret buying it photos and videos they're very awesome,love my Samsung a70.

They sent the phone off for an in depth check and they verified my buddies claim and sent him a top tier a71 with a waterproof case and screen protector and an sd card. But he had bought the phone from samsung directly. The phone is a great phone but those of us in high humidity environments have to be careful. I am sorry to hear of your difficulties and I hope that they quit playing cat and mouse with you. I would definitely leave a very poor review on their site if I was you. also please look into filing a BBB claim against them.

Increase touch sensitivity and make sure to have your finger pressed firmly with the nail slightly closer to the screen it r as rely takes me more than one try to get it right.

                                      If your cache is full it may do that, also go into settings - device care and optimize your storage. I have had no problem with mine whatsoever.
