Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy S21 has a global score of 91.8, which is way better than the vivo X70's 73.8 overall score. Both phones we compare here use the same Android 11 OS (Operating System), so you shouldn't see any difference regarding that. Samsung Galaxy S21's construction is just a little lighter but just a bit thicker than vivo X70, and both were released only a couple of months apart.
The vivo X70 has a bit better processing unit than Galaxy S21. They have the same RAM amount and the same number of cores. The Galaxy S21 has a more vivid screen than vivo X70, because although it has a little bit smaller display, it also counts with a just a bit greater number of pixels in each inch in the screen and a little higher resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels.
The vivo X70 and the Samsung Galaxy S21 both feature extremely similar memory capacity to install applications and games, they have the same internal memory. Vivo X70 has just a little better battery life than Samsung Galaxy S21, because it has 4400mAh of battery capacity instead of 4000mAh. Vivo X70 captures slightly better videos and photos than Galaxy S21, because although it has a much tinier sensor providing a much lower image quality and a smaller diafragm aperture which is not recommended for low light captures and videos, and they both have the same video resolution, the vivo X70 also counts with better 60 fps video frame rates and a lot more mega pixels back facing camera.
