Compare the Samsung Galaxy A50 to the Samsung A70

The Samsung A50's 6.4-inch screen has enough room for videos and games. Thanks to the Full HD resolution, the image is razor-sharp. The A50 has a sAMOLED screen, so the colors are more vivid and the contrast is deeper than with smartphones with an LCD screen. The A50's screen bezels are thin and there's a small notch on top. The fingerprint scanner isn't located on the back, but underneath the screen. As a result, the back not only looks colorful, but sleek too.

If you want to get the most out of videos and games, the Samsung A70 has you covered. You won't miss a single detail of your favorite series on the large 6.7-inch screen. There's enough screen space to play games like Fortnite and Super Mario Run, because that extra space makes sure your fingers don't cover the entire screen. The A70's screen quality is the same as that of the A50, and the fingerprint scanner is also located underneath the screen.

At 4000mAh, the Samsung A50's battery is pretty big. High-end phones like the Samsung S10 and Note 9 also have a battery of about 4000mAh. You'll easily make it through the entire day and the majority of the next day on a single charge. If your A50 does run out of power, your battery will be filled up in 2 hours, thanks to the 15W fast charger.

The Samsung A70 has a 4500mAh battery, which is very big for a smartphone. It'll last 2 days on a single charge. On top of that, the A70 is one of the first Samsung phones that supports 25-watt fast charging. That means even this large battery will be filled up in 2 hours. Do you need to leave soon, but your phone's nearly empty? Your battery will be filled by about 33% in half an hour, and you'll be good to go for hours.

In terms of hardware, the Samsung Galaxy A50 is a solid phone. Thanks to its 4GB of RAM, you can quickly switch between apps without any overly long load times. The processor, Samsung's Exynos 9610, is good for this price range. Demanding programs like games and photo editing apps also work well on the A50. With 128GB of memory, you'll probably have more than enough storage space, even when you do a lot of downloading.

In terms of performance, the A70 is closer to a high-end model. With 6GB of RAM, you can quickly switch between apps. The Snapdragon 675 processor makes the A70 more powerful than the A50. You mainly notice that from games running a lot more smoothly on the A70. In general, the A70 feels a lot faster than the A50, especially when you use apps that demand a lot from your smartphone. The A70 also has 128GB of storage space.

For a mid-range device, the Samsung A50 has an excellent camera setup. With the 25-megapixel main camera, you can take sharp pictures and record in Full HD. The A50 also has a wide-angle lens (8 megapixels), which you don't see very often in this price range. With that wide-angle lens, you can take impressive pictures of tall buildings or vast landscapes. The third camera is mainly intended for depth estimation. There's a 25-megapixel camera on the front, so you'll also look sharp on selfies.

The cameras on the Samsung A70 are virtually identical to those on the A50, albeit with a number of improvements. For example, the A70 can record in 4K instead of in Full HD, which is quite an upgrade. On top of that, the A70 can record slow-motion videos, which the A50 can't do at all. So the A70 gives you a lot more video options. The A70 also has some extra megapixels on the front and back, but you don't really notice that in practice.
