Samsung Galaxy A35 vs TCL K70 4G

Our Verdict: The clearest advantage belongs to Samsung Galaxy A35 on screen resolution, where it offers 1080 x 2340 resolution rather than 720 x 1570, plus up to 256GB storage versus 128GB. Choose TCL K70 4G instead if its design or price matters more, particularly because it has a 6.8" screen.

Buying outright, the A35 starts at £140 SIM-free.
