Another midrange phone by Samsung is here to challenge the unrestrainable growth of Chinese manufacturers: its name is Samsung Galaxy A70 and it is the most interesting phone from the A-series released so far. But there will be two main devices which will rival the Galaxy A70 and will represent a menace to its sales, at least in the Asian market. We are talking about the Huawei Nova 4e which should soon land in Europe under the Huawei P30 Lite moniker, and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro which will remain an Asian exclusive unlike its inferior sibling Redmi Note 7. Through this specs comparison, you will learn the differences between these devices.

Design
Listen to your tastes, as each of these devices come with a nice and premium design. Do you prefer the “3D Glasstic” of the Samsung Galaxy A70 or the gradient glass backs of the Huawei Nova 4e and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro? While you choose, it is worth noting that the really important difference between these handsets is the build quality. Redmi Note 7 Pro comes with more protection, despite it is not among the most resistant devices. Its display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and the phone is also water resistant. Instead, for the Samsung Galaxy A70 and Huawei Nova 4e, you do not get any kind of protection against water, neither for the display.
Display
Do you want the most brilliant and vivid display? Go for the Samsung Galaxy A70, there is no challenge. The Super AMOLED makes the colors much more pleasant and the blacks deeper. The kind of panel is often the only thing that really makes a difference when it comes to midrange displays. Further, the Samsung Galaxy A70 comes with a slightly taller 20:9 aspect ratio and a superior 6.7-inch diagonal.
Specs & Software
If we only consider the base variants, Redmi Note 7 Pro wins the hardware comparison because it sports a more powerful processor than both the Snapdragon 675 and the Kirin 710 of the Huawei Nova 4e. We are talking about the Snapdragon 675 that is one of the best Qualcomm’s mid-range chipsets. But Samsung Galaxy A70 comes in a configuration with Snapdragon 670 (that is just slightly inferior to the SD675) and 8 GB of RAM while Redmi Note 7 Pro stops at 6 GB of RAM, that is why, if we consider the most expensive variants, Samsung Galaxy A70 wins. All the phones come with a customized Android version based on Pie.
Camera
On the paper, Samsung Galaxy A70 seems to be the winner of the camera comparison. It sports a rear setup with a main 25 MP sensor coming with a bright f/1.7 aperture, a useful 8 MP ultrawide lens and a 5 MP depth sensor. It is a rear department which should be slightly better than the triple camera of the Huawei Nova 4e that consists of a similar setup. Redmi Note 7 Pro should focus more on the photo detail thanks to its 48 MP main sensor, but it should be less surprising than Samsung Galaxy A70 despite it doubles the sensor resolution. Coming to the front camera, it will be a hard fight between Samsung Galaxy A70 and Huawei Nova 4e.
Battery
With a huge 4400 mAh battery and its efficient Super AMOLED display, Samsung Galaxy A70 should provide a higher battery life. Right after, there should be Redmi Note 7 Pro with its above-average 4000 mAh battery and the low energy consumption of its Snapdragon 675 chipset. Huawei Nova 4e loses the comparison due to its too small 3300 mAh battery.
Price
While we still do not know Samsung Galaxy A70’s price and availability, we know that Huawei Nova 4e debuted with a €270/$305 price tag and Redmi Note 7 Pro starts from €200/$225. At the end of the day, Samsung Galaxy A70 shows to be a more interesting mid-ranger due to its better display, great rear cameras, and bigger battery, despite its performance may be disappointing compared with the Redmi Note 7 Pro.
