Hello,
I am quite interested in purchasing this device! I live in Washington D.C. and I was curious which model of the phone is best suited for use in America? I ask because I assume there are probably different model numbers depending on what region the phone is purchased from.
Thanks

Link to where you see it please.
I cant find an FCC cert for that model and only see it listed on Samsung India's site:
https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-a70-a705g/SM-A705GZWHINS/#specs
And from what I can see, that will not work in North America
good news is I found another version that should work so that brings us to
SM-705MN
SM-A705YN
SM-705W*
* for the SM-705W I have not seen the cert myself, but going off information another posted listed on XDA

Yes Samsung Pay Works On The A70..
But... Samsung Pay is : "Region Specific" depending on Model in a given Region. . So, choose your model carefully.

I have the SM-705MN and i can confirm that samsung pay WILL NOT WORK here in the USA.
I was wondering if anybody had the M or W and if it worked on theirs?
And if so could we swap firmware?
or even possibly change the CSC with out flashing the firmware?

Simply Put..
There is NO WAY, NO FIRMWARE SWAP, NADA... ZIP.. That Samsung Pay will work on ANY A70 in the United States Of America.
Period..
If Google Pay does not cut if for you.. time to return / sell your device and get a S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, Note 5, Note 8, Note 9, or wait for the Note 10.. if S-Pay means that much to you.
You can buy the A50 through Sprint.. and have a working Samsung Pay MINI in the U.S.A. as an alternative..
Until I found out Google Pay works in 99% of the place I personally shop.. I was going to return my A70 and go for one of the mentioned device listed above.
I still might... there is something just not feeling right about this purchase.. Great Battery, Fingerprint is Ok for me, Face Unlock is very fast.. even in the dark, 6.7 inch screen seems to be where screens are headed, Amoled is... Amoled the best. You can't root and trip knox, and use Samsung Pay on any device.. even though there appears to be a workaround for using Google Pay.. But I'm fine not rooting with Developer's not having any interest in this device and TWRP seems like a distant dream at this point..
So, why am I just not feeling this device?.. It seems perfect on so many fronts.. but.... with Prime Day coming in a couple of weeks.. and also having thoughts of spending $270.00 more and getting the One Plus 7 Pro.. I just don't know what it is about the A70 for me.. but something is missing at this price point..
Maybe the rumored A507 and A707 ( A50 and A70 ) updated models which are due out later this year will get sold through U.S. carriers or get offered by Samsung directly in the U.S.A. but I'm sure those will be Late 2019 releases. But if they do get released in the U.S. at least the A70 would have Samsung Pay support out of the box.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but just to be clear, the best model for use in the USA would be the SM-A705W (the Canadian model)?

The SM-A705MN/DS is the best for use in the US.
Just put in my pre order. Hope it comes before the 6th. Will keep posted if credit card gets charged or get shipping notification
But...

I saw T-mobile website say note10+ 5g will come with Android 10, anyone can confirm?
From:T-mobile
Other than the 5G feature, how is the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G different than the current Samsung Galaxy Note10+?
In addition to all the great features of the Samsung Galaxy Note10+, such as the large 6.8” QHD+ display, intelligent S Pen, and powerful battery, the new Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G will have the 5G-enabled modem and come with the new Android 10 OS out of the box.
What model number and CPU on 5G model?
Nice to have an intelligent response! I really can't believe I seem to be the only one that pre-ordered this phone. Usually the pre-order waiting room threads are huge.
I will let you know if it actually comes with Android 10 once I receive mine.
I'm using Note10+ and I'm still not sure 600Mhz vs mmWave. So I still planing but look like T-mobile only giving deal on pre-order

On the Samsung Members app, it says Android 10 with OneUI 2 is due in January 2020.

I too am trying to find the model# for this unit. I can confirm that the Note 10+ 5G for T-Mobile will only support low and mid band 5G, and mid-band only comes after the Sprint merger happens, as they own that spectrum. This model will not/never support mmWave with the truly blazing speeds.
That said, I think it's going to be a long time before we really (if ever) get to enjoy mmWave, given its inability to penetrate much. The coverage just isn't going to be there for a while. The Sprint (=> T-Mobile) spectrum seems a good compromise as it'll have better penetration plus higher speeds.
I'm planning to stop by T-Mobile store on Friday and possibly do a JUMP! upgrade from Note 9.
I have Verizon 5G N976V on TMB and not picking up any 5G yet. From what I read Verizon has Qualcomms's X50 modem chip while ATT and TMB will have X55 modem for different bands - go figure
Is this really 5G? The coverage map shows WAY too big of an area. Looks like LTE-E.

My question is genuine
Why are you sharing this with us?
Is the T Mobile 5G Variant something special?
Is it specially hard to get?
Pre ordered mine. Actually cheaper than a regular note10 plus right now somehow for me.
Imagine this one is bootloader unlocked like the sprint 5g Samsungs!
Has anyone pre-ordered and done the trade in? I have tried and it keep erroring out on me.

I did it last night thur T-mobile apps
Pre-Order....... Tmobile is Co-owned by EE.
EE Released the Note 10+ 5G model at launch. Ive had my phone since August.
As others have stated though, Android 10 wont be released until Jan 2020. A few device may get it leaked early (I think one is already reported) But Samsung do this every release.
An official build gets leaked to a few devices early. Unsure the purpose of this, if its marketing or a hope it leaks out so they can get a few last fixes in before official release.
it has 256gb and im not happy about that.
i have a line unused i will use for this phone. i plan to walk into a store friday to pick one up. the tforce rep didnt give me a nice feeling that the phone would be in my hands by friday if ordered online. i prefer to go the unlocked route and was hoping sammy would have it on their site but no luck yet.
im getting one simply because im an early adopter of electronic products, and here in LA my frequented areas are in 5g. I do understand its 600mhz spectrum...
I know the S22 variant made for the US market does not have an unlockable bootloader. But is it possible to buy a rootable S22 that will work with a Verizon SIM? Order it from overseas maybe?
yeah you can get a Korean 908N version on eBay with a very reasonable price. I got mine several days ago.

Awesome, thanks. I wasn't sure which country to look for. I prefer a pocket-sized phone and it looks like SM-SS901N is the small one and it's readily available.
I'm still running SABS on my old S9 (installed before Samsung killed it) and I was afraid I'd have to switch to a Pixel to get root, but the smallest Pixel 6 is bigger than I want. The small S22 from South Korea seems like a perfect choice.

No problem at all. I always got the Korean Variant instead of US one. Works for me all the time. I just didn't understand why they didn't provide an option of unlockinh BL on US variant. I feel like it's not even necessary.
are you looking for exynos or snapdragon? there is a large performance and compatability difference. Hong Kong and Singapore are where I got my last two phones from, bootloader unlockable snapdragons.
I'd have to say Snapdragon, which is also the South Korea variant (I'm guessing this is why it's popular for US buyers). Would there be any reason to consider an Exynos for use in the US? According to the reviews I've read, performance & battery life on the Exynos vary between meh and unusably awful.

Hello, may I ask what carrier you're using this with in the US? On Ebay, it says that it doesn't work with Verizon (due to CDMA).
I'm aware that Verizon does a little bit more than CDMA these days, but their base is still CDMA from what I understand. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Having been burglarized by a thief who awakend me and robbed me of my S10+, I'm thinking about buying a S20 Ultra 5G 128Go.
I've found good prizes on rakuten for international models sold as compatible for France market. One of my goals is to use samsung pay as my eyesight is leaving me, do you think this could be achieved ?
Thank you for your help.

I just received mine from the same dealer.
I do not use Samsung pay, but I tested and my french Mastercard is not accepted, maybe Paypal.

Does the phone access cell networks without issues, above all the 5G (even if don't care so much about 5G) ?

I can't answer you yet, I only had Xiaomi and this is my first Samsung.
No 5g antenna or so I'm not on a 5g plan.
Currently I am looking for a solution for the call recorder
Edit;
I tried with a Visa Premier, the same.
Would T-Mobile locked phone work with Slovak T-Mobile sim card?
Can you please clarify:
Where ( region/country) are you intending to use the phone. It feels like it's going to be in the country the SIM is from, is that right?
I ask as it maybe easier and less headache to convert the phone to a different region.
Im sure someone with my more knowledge and experience maybe able to help you more than it have.
I want use it in Slovakia with Slovak sim card.
If T-Mobile is your carrier in Slovakia, then yes it will work. You can verify this at a T-Mobile store just to make sure with the added assurance!

Only problem with buying from AliExpress, you can't be 100% sure that you will get what is described on the website. I have heard from some in these forums ordering from different websites that what they actually got was different from what was described. So yes, ordering from TMO would be best, but one way or another with the support of everyone here in XDA, you should be OK either way.

its ok. in EU always from oneplus.com.
1. In Slovakia we don't have offers like in USA. 2. I don't pay 1000€ for phone. 3. I buyed 4 phones from AliExpress without any problems, 1Poco 2Xiaomi and 1 OnePlus 6 that I use fourth year till now. 4. With this OnePlus 9 pro's is the biggest problem that people don't read full description and then are surprised when they become TMobile USA locked phone. 5. Mi question was would this phone work with Slovak sim card?
If you genuinely trust the buyer and that you're 100% confident you're going to receive a genuine TMO (le2127), then the choice is yours.
I feel that people are saying it maybe beneficial for you to buy directly OnePlus 9 Pro (EU) LE2123 (Global), LE2121 (India), LE2120(China)
As there could be a chance the seller has bought the phone from another region and converted it to TMO.
All I'm saying is be confident, ask for a picture of the box ( IMEI scrubbed out ), look for the phone model number, ask for a clear photo of the back of the phone, look for the model number at the back near the base of the phone.
The other benefit if you buying direct from OnePlus is you get a full 3 years warranty.
I agree with AndyC76, otherwise the phone should work with Slovakia TMO SIM card on TMO service.

I ordered new OnePlus 9 12/256 from TradingShenzen... But they sent a badly refurbished one with no original battery cover and also the camera lens was out of the phone when I opened the box.. Also, other lenses had fingerprints on lenses from the inside. Previously I ordered from there mi 11 ultra and 2 times it was a scam.. dust under the lens and so on.. so I do not recommend buying this from Chinese anymore. Buy it from oneplus site or for example, I bought OP 9 pro 8/128GB from here in Slovakia for 467€ from nay...
