There’s an in-display optical fingerprint scanner that works at a very accurate speed.

Samsung Galaxy A70: Camera Review
Like the A50, this Galaxy A70 features a triple rear camera with a single LED flash. The primary camera is 32-MP (f/1.7) which is joined by a familiar 8-MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens, and a 5-MP (f/2.2) depth-sensing camera for portrait effects. Upfront, there’s a 32-MP (f/2.0) that handles selfie photos.
There’s a Samsung’s Live Focus mode which blurs the background of your photo shots using both the 32-MP and 5-MP cameras. Meanwhile, the 8-MP ultra-wide camera provides you with wide surrounding coverage that you won’t catch with your vision and also makes switching within the camera app easier.
When it comes to image quality, you’ll have to settle with photos that are good for social media flexing, even though they don’t meet the 32-MP expectations. However, this phone’s camera is quite acceptable for a mid-range smartphone with sharp photos though lowlight shots are not well detailed as expected.
