The A70 packs some serious specs and should be a worthy contender for your money. Would you go for the A70 or the S10? Would love to know.

You should use this device you know before making your claim. 360k vs 120k when you can get 85-90% of what the S10 offers?

I have people close to me that use A70...
The indisplay FP scanner is laggy...
The display is great but not as good as that of S10...
No zoom lens...
You get way better build quality with S10, Wireless Charging, Water Resistance, etc
I've handled both and i can say that they don't come close!!

Correct guy. No need to waste money on the S10 when u can get A70 for one third the price of the S10. Snapdragon 855 is great but there's no task it can do that the 675 on the A70 can't do. Plus u get 6gb of ram and 128gb internal storage. Unless maybe u just want the better camera and build on the S10 (glass front and back which is another thing that breaks easily, 95% of people that use it also use plastic case to cover it anyway), wireless charging and water resistant. If those things don't mean anything to u I see no reason to waste a lot of money on the S10

Yes. Everyone knows that. But that extra power on the s10 is not needed 90% of the times. Unless u do 4k video editing on ur phones, there's nothing the Snapdragon 855 can do that 675 cannot do flawlessly. If u don't need the wireless charging, water resistant and better camera (the camera on the A70 is great, not just as great as the S10), then no point wasting all that money

Liek seriously? MIUI that struggles with ram management. Well it's a thing of personal preference, but one UI looks more professional than MIUI. In fact MIUI looks like something still in it's beta. To me one UI is the best Android skin, together with oxygen os

You just mentioned it. I have the S10 then bought the A70 for my woman. Bloggers just hyping the A70, although the phone is great but not to be compared with the S10.

Naa. Poor comparison. More like why waste money on a Benz when I can get almost the same luxury from a Lexus. If going by ur comparison I would just buy a Galaxy a10 or a cheap tecno.

The in display finger print scanner is not perfect (most in display on mid range phones are optical and not ultrasonic like the one on the S10. It's slower yes, even the one on the S10 is slower compared to capacitive fingerprint scanners. Of course s 10 in display fingerprint scanner is faster. Meanwhile the display and fingerprint of the A70 was greatly improved in the last update. Ask those people to update their frimware if they haven't.

I personally will still pick my S8 over the newer A70
Some of us don't need the extra battery and we love our wireless charging, beautiful - crisp infinity display (does curves still get me),dust/water proof..
2 years after i am still in love with my S8 both performance wise and aesthetics wise

You don't get Samsung Dex( or at least not Linux On Dex) on the A70 . No sir.

S8... Great phone especially when updated to one UI. And I said it clearly that if u don't care about glass back (I'm sure u still use a plastic case), wireless charging or water resistant. Then nothing wrong with the A70. Personally I would choose an A70 over an s8 which is getting outdated. Infinity display? A70 got it even with lesser bezels. The whole curved display not everyone likes it. I personally hate it because I can never get a screen protector and a case to work at the same time. It basically peels the screen protector ( I used 3 different types for my s9 plus and sometimes touch sensitivity is affected especially in the region of those curves). To enjoy that phone u better not use a screen protector. Yes s8 is a more premium phone with better design , A70 is no slouch.

I am enjoying my phone with a screen protector + a case tongue tongue tongue

Going through the thread, you have been listing why the S10 is a better phone..
only you have listed all the extra features one gets with the S10, yet still say

No need to waste money on the S10

its no waste of money when am not getting the same value..If nothing else(assuming spec are same) You gat to pay for the premium and better design.

And no one is a saying the A70 does not perform or is not a great phone.. All we are are saying is S10 is a better phone

Nope, no Samsung Dex. I don't need it and I don't hink majority of S10 owners ever use it. Good to have it though.

This is not true bro. Yes Lexus has done a lot to catch up with Mercedes Benz in terms of luxury but pound for pound , Mercedes Benz make better luxury cars. S class against Lexus LS? No match. E class against Lexus GS? No match. GLE against RX? No match. The question to ask is does it worth it to pay more for a Benz when an equivalent Lexus can give u the same thing. Does the price difference worth it?

But I've never said S10 is not a better phone na. I was only trying to say A70 still gives h the same Samsung experience without the extra luxury features at ⅓ of the price. The question is does those extra features worth another ⅔ of the price? Well that's the price to pay for luxury.

There are two types of screen protectors for the S8 and above. I also made the same mistake of getting the screen protector that continually gets off the screen for my S9.

A30 still gives the same Samsung experience at roughly half the price of the A70 grin grin

Ehen na, same design but the infinity display has a bigger chin, 2 cameras instead of 3, 4gb of ram instead of 6 , 64gb storage instead of 128, etc. So yes. If ur dream phone is the A70 u could get an A30 and get almost similar experience at half the price. The gap between A30 and S10 no be for here.
