Samsung Galaxy A35 vs Samsung Galaxy A70

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

Our Verdict: The decision starts with whether Samsung Galaxy A35's extras matter more than Samsung Galaxy A70's lower-cost appeal. That comes through in a higher-resolution 50MP rear camera, a larger 5000mAh battery capacity, and storage options reaching 256GB. Samsung Galaxy A70 answers with a lower contract cost, which may outweigh the spec gap. Samsung Galaxy A35 is the one to shortlist for capability, but Samsung Galaxy A70 is better aligned with a tighter budget.

Buying outright, the A70 starts at £120 SIM-free.
