I had a quick look earlier today.

A70 does come with both 6gb and 8gb. But according to Samsung official site Singapore, we only have the 6gb version.

Malaysia has the 8gb.
HongKong has both 6gb and 8gb.

But Singapore has by far the lowest price.
On top of this, Singapore's model also has the most 4g/lte Bands.

I will probably just settle for the 6gb model given the price differences.

rm $1999 really not worth and do not have NFC

IMO, A70 not worth in Singapore because they deliberately excluded Samsung Pay (lose MST function)

Can someone confirm? Hope Samsung Pay can work on A70.

Edit: Contacted Samsung SG. A70 will only be compatible with Samsung Pay at a later date. Felt strange cos A70 has NFC.

Seems hazy now, so will A70 SG have samsung pay or not..? Only time will tell.

i was actually contemplating on the A40s from HK.
Wanted the 5000 mah battery..

But the lack of some 4g bands kind of turn me off.

Just now I at Samsung shop, saw the staff there recommend customer to get the A9 2018. If I were you, I will get the A70 as it is the latest.

If you don’t like the camera notch, go for A9.

Between A70 (2019) and A9 (2018), which is better?

Bought an a50 as a standby phone when overseas .initially wanted just an a10 then realise its micro USB.. then decide to get a30 but yesterday sighted an a50 for 260 2 weeks old..so fast hand fast leg..whack..but now disappointed no Samsung pay..

Samsung pay is the only reason I decided on getting a cheap Samsung phone as alternate phone..else would have bought xiaomi or pocco..better specs

Seems like my A70 also don't support Samsung Pay... Not that I'm an existing user of Samsung Pay, since my last Samsung mobile was the S4 which was terrible in my opinion... :o

I think aside of the Samsung Pay... everything is good for this phone when compared to the P30 lite I was using previously... :s12:

I am thinking of getting A30 for my mum and i read that it supports Dual-SIM + Micro-SD. May i know if i can use Dual SIM (1 with her pre-paid SIM card, and another with TPG for data) since her pre-paid SIM card does not come with data? Thanks in advance! :)
