Samsung Galaxy A70s Review - Great Multimedia Device!

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-E70s) has been eagerly anticipated by fans, and its release is scheduled for sometime in April. While waiting for this new device, many enthusiasts have been speculating about what to expect from it. Other than the rumored launch date, not much information was known about the S7 Edge's features.

However, as we know now, the camera department on the A70S is truly impressive, with a 64-megapixel primary lens featuring Samsung's own GW1 sensor. This sensor has been used in other devices before, such as the Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme XT, but it's interesting to see how it performs on this device. The camera capabilities are certainly not lacking, producing images that have a great balance of saturation and contrast.

In terms of image quality, the S7 Edge (A70S) shines, particularly in low-light conditions. Nighttime images may be slightly noisy, but they're surprisingly brighter and better after processing. There's also a dedicated night mode that produces bright, detailed, and less overexposed images compared to regular nighttime shots. The camera software is undoubtedly good at its job.

Moving on to the video capabilities, you get options for shooting in 1080p, Full HD, or UHD, with an option for FS (Full SuperSteady) mode that utilizes electronic image stabilization. While the S7 Edge's video quality is great, it can't shoot in 60fps in any resolution. Another notable feature is the ability to shoot wide-angle videos or use the Super Steady mode, which provides stabilized footage.

When it comes to selfies, the device has a 32-megapixel sensor and takes pleasing photos with good colors. The skin tone looks great, and while there might be some minor inaccuracy in edge detection at times, it's not major enough to detract from an otherwise excellent selfie experience. As is typical for Samsung phones, you get slow-motion, Super Slow-Mo, and Hyperlapse features.

Overall, the A70S is a good phone that excels in its intended areas of multimedia focus. The large AMOLED display paired with a large battery makes it ideal for streaming content or YouTube videos. However, if you're a hardcore gamer looking for better performance, you might want to consider an alternative option like the Galaxy S21 Ultra or other recent flagship models.

Despite its limitations in terms of performance upgrades from its predecessor, the A70S has managed to make a mark as a viable mid-range option due to its affordable price. If not for the updated chipset, which would have provided more competitive performance, it's still a solid choice for those looking for a good balance between multimedia features and affordability.

In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-E70s) is a device that offers excellent camera capabilities, impressive video quality, and a great display. While its performance could be better, it remains a mid-range option that competes well in terms of overall value for money.
