Design and Display
Elegant smartphone designs are sort of alien to low-budget devices, however, Blackview made efforts to tweaking the A70’s design, which later yields a more refined and appreciable appearance. This is mainly evident in the rear covering.
On the rear, we have a square camera module bearing three cameras and an LED flash. Also on the rear, is a capacitive fingerprint sensor and the Blackview branding, which indicates it’s a Blackview smartphone.
Please note that enthusiasts who decide to purchase the Blackview A70 will have four colour options and they include black, blue, red, and green.
Moving up front, we are greeted with a 6.52-inch IPS LCD display with a drop notch bearing the selfie camera. This display has a resolution of 720 x 1600 and a density of 270 PPI.
The Cameras
The rear camera on the Blackview A70 are pretty much the same as what we got on the A60. However, Blackview added an extra camera to the rear.
The rear camera is championed by a 13MP primary camera powered by a Sony IMX258 sensor. This camera has an aperture of f/2.2. As for the other cameras in the pack, Blackview didn’t give any information. Upfront is a single 5MP camera for taking selfies.
Hardware and Software
The performance of the Blackview A70 is driven by a UNISOC SC9863A processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a non-removable 5380mAh battery.
This hardware combo isn’t really designed for high-end tasks, it’s more of a low-end package. However, it’s better than the 1GB RAM / 16GB internal storage on the A60.
On the software side, the Blackview A70 runs its interface on top of the Android 11.0 operating system.
