UPDATE: The Samsung Galaxy A70 is now priced at RM1,799 at all Samsung Experience Stores and authorised dealers nationwide.

The Samsung Galaxy A70 is now available in Malaysia for RM1,999.

When Samsung first unveiled the device at the Galaxy A event in Bangkok last month, website Gadget Match spotted a series of Blackpink-themed accessories for the phone. The popular South Korean girl group is currently the brand ambassador for the Samsung Galaxy A series. 

The accessories include a specially-designed phone case, a charging stand with the Blackpink logo and postcards featuring images of the group. The website states that the A70 Blackpink-themed accessories will be available in May for users in selected countries including Malaysia. 

However, Malaysian fans may have to wait a little bit longer to get their hands on the products. A check with Samsung Malaysia revealed that there is currently no date set for the local release of the specially designed accessories.

The A70 is made for social media-savvy users who love sharing their every day experiences online.

“In this connected era, we understand there is a demand for innovation in a world driven by visual communications. With the Galaxy A70, consumers can connect with their family, friends and even favourite celebrities with just a swipe and post on social platforms,” said Samsung Malaysia Electronics president Yoonsoo Kim in a statement.

At the moment, the A70 has the biggest screen in the Galaxy A series with a 6.7in Super Amoled Infinity U display. It has a triple camera setup in the rear with a 32-megapixel super high-resolution lens main shooter, an 8-megapixel sensor for ultra wide shots, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. 

For more aesthetically-pleasing images, users can use the Flaw Detection feature that reportedly can identify glitches automatically before a shot is taken. They can also use the Scene Optimiser feature to supposedly enhance shots taken in up to 20 scene settings. For selfies, there is a 32-megapixel camera on the front.

The device has 8GB RAM and 128GB internal memory which can be expanded to up to 512GB with a microSD card. It also comes with a huge 4,500mAh battery and supports 25W Super-Fast Charging.

The Samsung Galaxy A70 is available in Blue, Black and White at Samsung Malaysia official website as well as all Samsung Experience stores and authorised dealers nationwide.
