Will Samsung Pay get a dark mode? On second thought, Samsung Pay is usually used when you're out and about, so I guess that's a NO.

Btw I can't believe Samsung skimp on MST technology on so many devices! Even Note 10 Lite and S10 Lite 😱 . Being able to pay without using NFC at traditional point of sale (POS) terminal is one of the biggest selling point of Samsung and Samsung Pay in general... 

If you're marketing it as Samsung Pay as a whole, it's better to have similar experience across all range of devices, well at least I think phones that are upper mid - top flagship (above selling price of RM1799/RM2000) should have it.

I can imagine having argument with a store cashier which have PoS terminal but not NFC supported that I can use my phone to pay, but after spending almost ages to have no result.. imagine the face on the cashier, and me being so embarrassed... not to mention the queue of people right behind me... I think at least you should notify those people that don't know about this technology about what their phone is supported.

cuz most POS system now has NFC capability. putting both MST or NFC makes a big difference in price point due to chipset capability and Knox security.

if cost is a factor, I would understand the move since we are heading towards cashless payment where most terminal now reads nfc.
