Looking for Samsung A70. BigW are out of stock and found JB Hifi have reduced the price to $499. Great price for good phone
Take 12 months $65 monthly Telstra plan and phone is for $199..

It's close, very close. Very, very, very close. ;)
Does that mean a new A20/A30 is coming (perhaps with a GPS fix)?
yes a21 and a31
Its out in a few countries. Reviews look good.
What does the A71 have in features and hardware that is different to this model?
Better fingerprint reader, current one is frustrating at best
Better processor
Better screen layout with hole punch, subjective though. Not sure of improvement to screen tech
Better cameras
Kogan already selling it (Samsung A71). $800 seems a big price hike for some what appears to be pretty minor upgrades. https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-galaxy-a71-dual-sim-6gb…
They always scalp the initial imported offers. The original Aus price is expected to mirror the original , similar to overseas markets
Well, I think you can get it from Officeworks now.

did they shadow launch it lol.. it's $100 more expensive at launch too
I think Officeworks jumped the gun and put it up, even Samsung website doesn't show it yet
No clue, but could I ask how do you know it's $100 more expensive at launch?
@otter-raptor: Jb has it now, same price.

Doesn't look like a dual-sim variant
Could be mistaken, but it appears that no Australian based Galaxy A phones come with dual-sim capability.

Seems like out of the current models available in Australia, only certain S10's and Note 10's are dual sim.Compare this to say Malaysia where all Galaxy A models come with dual-sim including the lowly A10s:

Got this phone for dad. Not bad. Quite decent specs and the battery is massive 4500mah. Only issue is the updates for it are quarterly. I think Amazon has it for $499 too.

I got it from here and got $23 cash back. From shop back.
just watched a russian guy running the a70 and s8 side by side. pretty much identical performance, with a slight edge to the s8 (which is where i am still)
i'll just keep on trucking now i'm off my 24 month telstra $59 friends and family plan inc s8
s11 might be the ticket a few months after release, or go with another brand perhaps
As soon as my s8 plan ended I ported out to Aldi mobile. $25 for 18gb a month. Makes the friends and family look real bad value once you're no longer paying for the phone. It'll also allow you to get on the next good deal by porting in (should there ever be another decent one)
How would this compare to the LG V40, given you can pick them up at approximately the same price now? I've never had a Samsung - is their user experience better?
Fingerprint scanner sucks so bad.
Face unlock is also slow.Really kills this phone
Do they still have the $400 dollar option with the plan, which means only pay $100 for the phone.
More confirmation A71 release is near 😁
