Samsung Galaxy A70 India launch could be imminent

Earlier this week, Samsung hosted an event to unveil a slew of its Galaxy A series smartphones. One of the devices launched by the company is the Galaxy A70. At the time of launch, the company did not divulge the details regarding its pricing and availability. Now, it looks like this device could be launched in India sometime soon.

In a recent development, Samsung India has hosted a microsite listing for the Galaxy A70 hinting that its India launch is imminent. Recently, the company revealed that it is in plans to launch new Galaxy A series devices every month in 2019 and this microsite listing reaffirms the same.

Notably, the listing of this new Samsung smartphone on the official website shows 6GB RAM and 128GB storage space tipping that this variant could be launched in the country. However, the details regarding a specific launch date and pricing haven't been divulged by the company. Given that the Galaxy A series phones will replace the Galaxy J series devices that are affordable, we can expect this one to also be priced reasonably. From its pricing in China, we can expect this device to be priced under Rs. 30,000.
