    You should be good to go on any of the local networks. I'm on Cell C and haven't had any issues. I do have the Chinese hardware, flashed with the global rom though. I just did a quick Google search and it confirms that the global rom is compatible with the networks in ZA. Welcome to the club...

    I won't be able to do it, just go for it. You won't be disappointed.

    OnePlus 15

    I am genuinely happy with my purchase. I cannot compare it to any recent phones - I am coming from a 4-year old Oneplus 9 pro. The response is snappy, the battery is amazing - for my normal use it gets at least two days on a full charge. The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is great - in the...

    I can confirm that the bootloader on mine is locked and I have had no issues with banking apps, Google services and Android Auto works without a hitch.

    OnePlus 15

    I'm not sure if they can fake the widevine info on such a deep level, but everything is displaying great. I've had my first full day of use with the phone yesterday. Obviously I'm still checking things out and tinkering with settings, but I am currently still on 66% charge after a full charge...

    OnePlus 15

    I just ran the DRM scan. Not sure how the screenshot will display. I don't use Netflix myself, so I can't comment. The phone's screen isn't 4k, so I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make. But according to the scan it looks like L1.

    The phones arrived this morning. I am currently setting up mine, and I'll give updates once I've had a chance to play around with it a bit. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

    Ok, the amounts are in. According to Geekwils.com they declared the value as $120.99 x 2. The DHL invoice just came in for R1337.65. So, original order amount was paid: R28121.28 + R1337.65 = R29458.93 / 2. Works out to R14729.47 per phone. Not to bad. Expected delivery date is Wednesday...

    OnePlus 15

    So, I requested an update from the seller yesterday and was informed that the phones will only be shipped after the 23rd. Apparently the Chinese take this lunar new year of theirs seriously. I know they had celebrations at the temple in Bronkhorstspruit last weekend, so they are pushing it for...

    I'll be sure to update you on the progress. Once I get the phone, I will be able to give you hands-on feedback. I saw on some of the enquiries on Giztop, that it should be on level 1

    OnePlus 15

    I only ordered yesterday evening. Still have to see what exchange rate I got. They did confirm that they under declare the value for custom payments, but I'll only know once I receive the invoice from the courier. I've never used an eSim and the call recording isn't a deal breaker for me. They...

    OnePlus 15

    I almost ordered through them, but just ordered via geekwils.com. From what I could gather, they are the retail branch of gizmochina and everything seems above board. The websites for Giztop.com and Geekwils.com look like clones of each other with just some colours and layouts swopped around...

    OnePlus 13

    I have a OP 9 Pro and it has served me well for just over three years. I'll be considering the 13 as my next phone.

    Streaming Services

    I downloaded TV Web Browser from the Playstore and it gives you access to some streaming sites. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tcl.browser I sometimes use Livenettv for live sports https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportsmasaladev.livenettvapp It is a bit of...
