Both phones we are comparing here use Android operating system, but Galaxy Note8 has a more recent 9.0 Pie version and Galaxy A70 has Android 10, so it counts with a couple nice extra features.
The Galaxy Note8 features a bit more vivid screen than Samsung Galaxy A70, because although it has a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a better pixel density and a higher resolution of 1440 x 2960px. Samsung Galaxy A70 has a much greater memory to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy Note8, because it has a slot for external memory cards that admits a maximum of 512 GB and 128 GB internal storage capacity.

The Galaxy Note8 takes much clearer pictures and videos than Samsung Galaxy A70, and although they both have the same (4K) video resolution, a F1.7 camera aperture and the same video frame rate, the Galaxy Note8 also has a larger sensor.
