Our Verdict: For Samsung Galaxy A70 versus Samsung Galaxy A17 4G, the recommendation depends mostly on what you want from the hardware. The A17 4G is ahead for camera hardware, with a higher-resolution 50MP rear camera, a larger 5,000 mAh battery, and its IP54, dust and splash resistant rating; the A70 is the better match for a higher-resolution 32MP front camera.
