Back Design is Scratch-Prone: Okay. The overall design is fine – no doubt. While the design is compelling and lovely though, the back design is prone to be scratched easily. Hence, you will most likely require a phone case as a matter of urgency if you to maintain the sleekness.

Debatable Price: Samsung Galaxy A70 is one of the finest smartphones in the A- series. While it has attracted loads of admirers in the market today, the amount it goes for is quite debatable. Some smartphone followers have argued that there are smartphones with a better spec that are way cheaper than the A70.
