According to a report by IANS News agency, the Samsung Galaxy A70 would launch next week with a price under Rs 30,000. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A80 will arrive for a price under Rs 50,000 by the next month. For a price of around Rs. 45,000-50,000, the Galaxy A80 will be a direct competition for OnePlus in the premium mid-range segment.
