Buyer Snapshot
Confirmed purchasing details.
This is a factual specification summary, not a HANN review or testing verdict.
HANN Notes
What to Notice.
Samsung Malaysia names a RM899 purchase price, but its local 6GB + 128GB page currently says ‘Not for sale’ and does not provide a Malaysian sale date.
Samsung Malaysia's specifications list 2G, 3G and 4G LTE bands only; 5G is not listed for this Malaysian model.
Samsung Malaysia does not state charging speed or box contents, so HANN Specs does not infer a charger or cable.

Published from Samsung Malaysia's official Galaxy A08 product page and 25 September announcement. Malaysian RM899 pricing is recorded separately from current sale status, which remains not confirmed because the local product page shows ‘Not for sale’ and gives no sale date.
