Display
Samsung A70 is a big phone but what is even more impressive is that the phone can be used with just one hand. The display type is Super AMOLED which is a bright and colourful panel that offers Full HD+ (1080 x 2400) resolution with a beautiful viewing experience.
The display aspect ratio is 20:9, and it is Bezelless with a waterdrop notch. The phone's pixel density is 393 PPI and also includes a Corning Gorilla Glass v3 screen protection. The Samsung A70 has an incredible screen to body ratio of 86%.
Processor, storage and performance

Battery
The 4500 mAh battery is quite massive and can last up to two days when used moderately. Its 25W fast-charger is the fastest charger Samsung has made for a Galaxy A-series phone.
Speaker and quality
Samsung A70 has Dolby Atmos in audio support which provides an immersive experience when playing via earphones, but the experience is different when using the mono speaker. The loudspeaker sits at the bottom and is pretty weak.
It can only be properly audible at full volume and is not very dependable. The phone is accompanied with mid-range earphones that have been consistent in the Galaxy A series.
The call quality is as decent as can be expected from a modern smartphone. Its network reception on both slots is excellent even in low-signal areas, and the voice of another caller can be heard clearly.
Software

Samsung Galaxy A70 camera, video and quality
Samsung A70 comes with a 32MP F2.0 selfie camera and a three-in-one rear camera (32MP F1.7 primary rear camera, 8MP F2.2 ultra-wide and 5MP depth sensors). A70 does not shoot photos at full resolution for both cameras (12MP for rear camera).
Since the Auto HDR feature does not work at the highest resolution, the camera's outdoor performance against light sources is not the best. The phone lacks a dedicated night mode for taking pictures in the dark.

Phone OK. Battery finishes fast before I'm back home.
Hi, I have no issues. Battery backup is as super as was on android 9/pie. My handset heats up only during charging, but only a little bit warmer than cold-or normal.
Samsung Galaxy A70 heats up with normal operations after July 2020 security update. It becomes like a hot brick with regular operations like phone calls, Camera YouTube (using Wi-Fi) and other general operations. Notifications were turned off. Location, NFC was turned off. No background apps also.
I have been using this phone for one more year. The phone is suitable for picture and sound clarity, and we can upgrade to Android 10. When I upgraded to 10, the vibration of this phone cannot works. The battery drained very fast, signal strength decreased. My friend is using Galaxy M21, and he faces the same problem of "low signal strength".
