Samsung Q70A TV, is the next generation of the Q70 TV series. If we look at the whole history of this TV model, it is already the 4th generation of Samsung QLED TV 7 series. Despite some improvements, if we look at the picture quality and the package, it is the same TV as the 2020 model.
Let’s take a closer look at what differences the Q70A TV has received compared to previous models to understand which year model is more profitable to buy.
Samsung Q70A tech specs
Despite the fact that Samsung introduced a new model in 2021, the differences are very small. Samsung Q70A has almost nothing new compared to the 2020 model Q70T.
Samsung Q70A has a screen made with VA technology, EDGE type backlighting with dual LEDs, 4K screen resolution. The processor has not changed, it is still Quantum Processor 4K with a maximum frame rate of 120 per second. You should understand that this is the commercial name of the processor, in fact, the TV has a processor for TVs, manufactured by MediaTek. You can read more about Samsung Neo Quantum Processor.
What’s new in Samsung Q70A?
For the 2021 TVs, Samsung has developed a new version of the operating system Tizen 6.0 This version of the OS has improved the gaming interface and added new features for a better gaming experience.
However, the main advantage of the Q70A is the sound. The 2021 model features the Object Tracking Sound Lite version (OTS Lite). This is an object tracking feature on the TV that allows the sound to follow your movements, creating an immersive experience. The problem is that your TV only has two speakers, so it’s almost impossible to create high-quality sound for a moving object on your TV screen.
The Q70A also has an Active Voice Amplifier (AVA), which enhances the audio track. The TV also supports computer sharing.
Should you buy Samsung Q70A?
If we look at the Q70A compared to previous TV models, this model is certainly preferable to the 2020 model. First of all, because more features are implemented at the software level.
TV Q70R, in terms of picture quality is slightly better. The screen is of higher quality, primarily due to the support of real 10 Bit color depth.
