Samsung Galaxy A26 vs Samsung Galaxy A70

Name: Samsung Galaxy A70
Brand: Samsung
Availability: InStock
Rating: 4.4 (9 reviews)

Our Verdict: Start with Galaxy A26 if 5G connectivity is high on your list, because it offers 5G support where Galaxy A70 tops out at 4G and more storage headroom, up to 256GB. Galaxy A70 answers with a stronger 32MP selfie camera and a lighter 183g body, so it still has a clear role. SIM-free pricing favours Galaxy A70 at £144.99 versus £239.00. Your better choice is Galaxy A26 if you will use its hardware advantages, or Galaxy A70 if the saving matters more.

If you'd rather pay up front, the A70 is the cheaper buy at £120 SIM-free.
