Why buy the Galaxy F70e 5G
- A 6,000mAh battery. That is 1,000mAh more than most Samsung phones at this price. A day of WhatsApp, YouTube and hotspot use should still leave charge for the evening.
- Six Android upgrades from Android 16. Very few phones near KSh 21,000 get this much support. It keeps banking and M-Pesa apps working and the phone protected for years.
- 5G on a budget. The Dimensity 6300 connects to 5G where Safaricom or Airtel offer it, and falls back to 4G everywhere else.
- A smooth 120Hz screen. Scrolling feeds and menus looks fluid, and the 6.7″ size is good for videos and reading.
- Headphone jack kept. Wired earphones plug straight in, with no adapter needed.

Verdict: The F16 is the better screen and camera phone, and its 6GB model costs less than the 6GB F70e right now. Choose the F70e if battery life matters most to you, or if you want the newer Android version and a headphone jack. For everyone else, the Galaxy F16 5G is the stronger deal at current prices.
Other phones to consider

- Samsung Galaxy F17 5G (from KSh 24,499): steps up to an AMOLED screen and a stabilised 50MP camera.
- Xiaomi Redmi 15 5G (from KSh 22,499): a 5G alternative if you are not set on Samsung.
- Realme C100i (from KSh 18,999): an even bigger 7,000mAh battery if you can live with 4G only.
