The Samsung Galaxy A70s unveiled back in September is now making way to China. The mid-range device is Samsung’s latest effort to win some relevance in the Chinese stronghold. According to IDC’s quarterly report, the South-Korean company didn’t make it to the top 5 smartphone brands in China. It’s curious how the world’s smartphone leader can’t stand against local manufacturers in China. However, it won’t give up.
The new smartphone offering comes in a single 8GB/128GB configuration which retails for CNY2,699 ($385/€350). This amount of money will get you a Snapdragon 675 and a 6.7″ FHD+ Super AMOLED display. There’s a fingerprint scanner underneath the display, while a waterdrop notch at the top serves as a house for the 32MP selfie snapper. Around the back, we have a triple-camera array comprising a 64MP sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide and 5MP depth sensor.
