Hi everyone

I'd like to get a dual sim S8. I see there are a few available on ebay, I've never imported a phone though.

Is there anything specific I should look out for in terms of compatibility with SA networks? And does anyone know approximately what the customs costs are when you import a phone?

Thanks

I don't think that these phones are proper dual sim phones, ie they don't have a dedicated second sim slot.

So make sure that it has at least 64GB of memory.

I have an S7 edge like that, it's a PITA.

The S8 base model has 64GB of storage.

But just realise that you can't expand that if you use the second sim slot.

The s7 edge has 32GB, so it is hardly usable when you use a second sim. Rubbish phone.

microSD, up to 256 GB (dedicated slot) - single-SIM model
microSD, up to 256 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - dual-SIM model

Not a true dual sim phone.

It doesn't really bother me that I won't be able to use the SD card slot, 64gb is more than enough for me.
