Other key highlights of the Samsung Galaxy A70s include an Infinity-U Display as well as the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. The smartphone also comes with a triple rear camera setup.
The Samsung Galaxy A70s price in India has been dropped from Rs. 28,999 to Rs. 25,999 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, as visible on the Samsung India online store. The price of the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage option of the Galaxy A70s has also been slashed to Rs. 27,999. It was launched at Rs. 30,999. In addition to the Samsung India online store, Amazon and Flipkart are also showing the new prices.
Samsung might have introduced the revised prices to make way for the Galaxy A71 that is rumoured to launch in India later this month. The smartphone debuted in Vietnam as the successor to the Galaxy A70 and an upgrade to the Galaxy A70s in December.
