Noob question never bought from GB so what's the best way to ship to SA I got an Aramex global shipper ACC but never used it too. Price shown is more like $ 229 so how to get 189 is it with coupon?

Try put it into your shopping cart on Gearbest and see if the price adjusts. You can use Priority Line which is Aramex. Just be prepared to wait, as they can be a bit slow to communicate once it reaches Customs
 
How's the camera on the note 5? Keen to upgrade but will need significant camera upgrade from my current note 4

What will the taxes be on the Note 5?

Amazon has it for R3.2k shipped including taxes and from personal experience they usually refund a few dollars back because they over estimated the taxes.

I think the Amazon one has a single camera at back compared to the GB one that has dual camera at back.
Not sure what else is different ?

Taken from here : https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_ai_dc-review-1777.php

"What mostly sets it apart from the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and the regular Redmi Note 5 (or Redmi 5 Plus) is the camera setup. The later has a single main snapper at its disposal, so the distinction is easy enough.

Both other devices feature a dual setup. As the "AI" moniker suggests, the one on the newer Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera is imbued with some extra smarts. More importantly, however, it has a brighter f/1.9 lens for the main 12MP camera. Also, larger 1.4µm pixels and dual pixel phase detection autofocus. There have been some changes to the selfie setup as well.

Good, a candidate that can buy my Note 4 :D

I jumped to the RN4 from a RN2 - it was like night and day, especially with regards to the battery life and responsiveness.

In any case, I bought the Redmi Note 5 Pro that lexor linked. Now we wait!

Anyone comment on quality vs price here? Not so sure about Hisense but I'm thinking it's a good brand for price

Hisense is excellent. Only issue is slow on startup (so leave tv on ) but otherwise great tv so far.

You need to use the link that lexor provided: https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phone...r_180710_1531224051_x13&eo=2QZOGOQJLZ0C78GL22

It's a price that is only valid when following that link, from what I can gather as it's from a promo email so you won't be able to find it when just browsing the store without the link

I don't know what I'm doing wrong when I click on that link it's showing 229 and when I copy and paste in chrome" page unavailable ". Can you please confirm that price

Here's what I see. Selecting $ USD in the currency menu brings it to $189.99
