Hey everyone.

I'm on the hunt for a new device.

I currently have a Nokia 7 Plus which has been a major let down and I can't deal with it anymore.

Anything out there that has comparable performance to the Nokia? It's gonna be a cash purchase so phones like Samsung flagships are a bit out of my reach.

Thanks :)

Hi

Maybe specify a budget? What about Samsung a series?
 
HAUWEI P30LITE
Y9 PRIME

I like these phones - but with the drama between Trump and China - how long will android still he supported by these?


Does NFC really only work in China?

Anything below R9k should be fine. I didn't even know about the A series. Will have a look.

Thanks everyone.

Wait for the new A series models to come out early next year.

Or try a redmi note 8 or 8 pro.

You can also get the Samsung Galaxy A80 for R7000 from incredible connection.
 
I'm not sure why but yes it seems nfc (k20 pro) really does only work in China. I suspect its actually different hardware.

Check a70 or a80 - both look awesome with a80 supporting sd cards
 
@Radioboy If I may ask, what are gripes about the Nokia 7 Plus?

The 7plus has major hardware issues with its charging port and board. Fast charging randomly stops and the port becomes lose over time making charging almost impossible. My phone is a year old and it has been repaired twice. It broke again today. FML.

I really wanted to love this phone - but it's time to move on.

I had one too and enjoyed at the beginning. It became unusably slow and the charging became rather electrified... The last time I charged with a fake charger the entire copper became electrically charged.
 
I have the Samsung Note10+ and I love it.. stunning phone to be honest, but I've always been a Samsung fan.

Look at something like the Huawei P30 Lite as well, great phone and reasonably priced at about R6k
