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?

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.

https://mia.africa.com/za/mi-9-eu-128gb-piano-black - Mi 9 is a flagship

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
