Samsung has revealed key specifications and the launch date for the Galaxy F70 5G. Flipkart has put up a microsite for the phone, confirming it will launch in India on October 18 with a starting price below INR 20,000 ($225). The vanilla model follows Samsung's February launch of the Galaxy F70e and August launch of the Galaxy F70 Pro, and it appeared in Google's database last week.
The phone will feature an FHD+ Super AMOLED screen with a waterdrop notch and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection, along with the Exynos 1330 chipset. Its camera setup includes a 50MP main camera with OIS, which Samsung calls the "No Shake Cam," a 5MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro lens, and a 13MP selfie camera. A 5,000 mAh battery supports 25W wired charging. The device measures 7.5mm thick, is dust and splash resistant, and comes in Vivid Violet and Bold Black.
Software highlights include Circle to Search, Google Gemini, Samsung Wallet with Tap and Pay, Quick Share, Voice Focus, and Knox security. Samsung also notes that the F series is designed and made in India.
The specifications closely match the Galaxy A17 5G, including the thickness and camera layout, suggesting the F70 5G is a rebranded version of that phone, much as the F70e is a rebranded Galaxy A07 5G. If so, the phone may also offer a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 display with a 90Hz refresh rate, up to 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of storage, and six major Android updates.
