The difficulty of choosing between one mobile and another increases when we find proposals such as the Xiaomi Mi 9 and the Samsung Galaxy A70 , where they emphasize all its features without forgetting any of them. So you know which one to stay with, we compare all the specifications step by step so you do not hesitate to buy.
In this comparison we are going to face the qualities of the high-end Xiaomi of 2019, a smartphone that knows how to age very well and the Samsung Galaxy A70 a terminal that fits within the mid-range of Samsung with nothing to fear the strongest .
Design and screen
We begin to look at its exterior appearance, where we find very different finishes, in the case of the Xiaomi Mi 9 the material is ceramic , giving a very premium feel, while the Galaxy A70 conforms with plastic . The size of both terminals is similar, although the Galaxy A70 is larger, also including its weight of 183 grams, ten more than the Xiaomi Mi 9.
This is also reflected on the screen, where the Galaxy A70 has a 6.7-inch panel with AMOLED technology in Full HD + resolution, while the Xiaomi Mi 9 has a panel with the same characteristics but smaller size, specifically 6.39 inches. On the front we also have a drop type notch in both models, where the design seems very similar in both, although with a greater edge rush in the Mi 9. Both terminals have a fingerprint reader integrated under the screen, making Let’s enjoy maximum protection.
The processor that moves them and configuration
The first section determined is the processor, because the Xiaomi Mi 9 has one of the most powerful, compared to which the Galaxy A70 have little to do. On the one hand the Snapdragon 855 is the highest range of 2019 and offers us an immediate response, on the other hand the Snapdragon 675 is also capable of performing at a good level with apps, games and everything that we put forward, but without great dimensions
In the configuration both offer us a single option with 6 GB of RAM , however in the internal memory the Xiaomi Mi 9 has capacity for 64 GB or 128 GB and the Samsung Galaxy A70 only the option of 128 GB, expandable by MicroSD , something that we can’t do with the Mi 9.
We compare the triple lens and front
The camera configuration is again very similar, with a main lens of 48 Mpx and aperture f / 1.75 in the Xiaomi Mi 9, accompanied by a lens with 12 Mpx zoom and finally a wide angle of 16 Mpx to photograph landscapes.
Opposite the Galaxy A70 has a main lens of lower resolution, 32 Mpx although with a superior aperture of f / 1.7, it also integrates a second lens, in this case designed to improve the portrait of 5 Mpx and running out of zoom. In addition it also has wide angle but 8 Mpx.
Both terminals have 4K recording, with autofocus but only Xiaomi Mi 9 offers digital stabilizer an important point when recording videos.
In the front cameras the Xiaomi Mi 9 offers us 20 Mpx with f / 2.0 aperture and the Galaxy A70 takes a step forward with its 30 Mpx and an identical opening, so we will get very good reusltado ne mabos case.
Battery and connectivity
In the section of the battery we find an important point in favor of the Galaxy A70 that grows up to 4,500 mAh with a fast charge of 25W , meanwhile the Xiaomi Mi 9 remains at only 3,300 mAh although with the Xiaomi layer that reduces significantly consumption The fast loading of the Mi 9 is slightly higher, although nothing noticeable.
In connectivity if we need an audio jack , only the Galaxy A70 integrates it, while the NFC is present in both . Bluetooth 5.0, 4G or GPS connectivity if we find it in both terminals.
Layers of customization and Android version
In the software section, the Xiaomi Mi 9 has the latest version of Android , accompanied by MIUI 11, a personalization layer that offers endless possibilities. Opposite the Galaxy A70 continues with Android 9, although it will update to Android 10 this year, also receiving the latest version of Samsung’s own layer.
If we look for more additions, surely Xiaomi will win the win, while Samsung has greatly improved its system and offers us a rejuvenated design, with good finishes and in a very intuitive way.
The price ends up deciding everything
Finally we find the price, where we are totally even at 349 euros and leaving serious doubts about which to choose. In our opinion, the software and the processor can be more next to the cameras of the Xiaomi Mi 9 , although on the other hand the large battery of the Galaxy A70 may be the preferred option for many, also having an audio jack and a memory configuration that wont leave anybody indiferent.
Finally we leave you with the table of characteristics , so that you compare both terminals and draw your own conclusions to choose the one you are going to buy.
