Samsung Galaxy A35 and A55

Lupus said:
The S23FE does have wireless charging, telephoto camera, better USB port (things like display and and), faster CPU. But the battery isn't as good

GSMArena says 7:31h web browsing or 9:16h of video for the S23FE, whereas the same tests on the A55 are 11:40h and 18:53h respectively.

Massive difference, wouldn't touch the S23FE. Hopefully the S24FE is a big improvement.

Bigger battery, lower cpu therefore more efficient. So yeah the A55 will have better battery
 
I ended up getting the FE
VS the A55 it works out to R50 more per month for much much more phone

But let me just tell you what a ridiculous experience it was with telkom.

Initially placed an online order for X2 devices as an upgrade... everything went ok online. Order number received.
Telkom call centre calls me and says:
- it needs to be a new contract not an upgrade? "why if the website verified that my numbers qualify for upgrades." "err because you are on prepaid"
"duuuh"
"ja so it needs to be a new contract"
"ok just make sure I keep my numbers so port them or do whatever"
"no u will get new numbers cos its new contracts"
"wtf"
"thats how it works"
"no its not. ask your supervisor. tell him i want to keep my numbers for these contracts"
"please hold"
*2 minutes later*
"ok sir, you can keep your naambas neh, but because you orda 2 phones, you maast go to da store"
"huh, why?"
"eeh, because its 2 phones, if it was one we could have done it."
"then why did your website accept my order ?"
"eeh, im not sure sir"
"ok bye" *hang up and try not to swear cos im fasting....

Goto 2 stores on saturday and they tell me that the call center is talking shizz cos they chase a quota of new sales... so they lie to get new signups because they arent incentivised for upgrades... or at least that is the story i was told.

End up going to a 3rd store because the 1st 2 didnt have stock. Initial argument about the price.
"i want the s23 FE for R549pm"
"erm, here on the spreadsheet its R589pm"
"its R549 on the website, dont gimme no spreadsheet nonsense, wheres your manager?"
"let me go talk to him"
*2 minutes later*
"ok we can do R549"

WHY TELKOM!? JUST WHY?!

Anyways, Alhamdulillah... got the phones, very happy... coming from the A50, this thing is a Ferrari

Also @Lupus i got the update to 6.1 on 1st check... so not sure why the other guys are complaining about update. Will post in the other thread

Yeah not sure of the complaints either on the updates. Wife has now dinged the top corners of her phone, get a cover as soon as possible. That aluminium frame is fragile

Yup that is the wife's excuse, it's heavy and just falls off tables :-P. So yeah 2 dings on the top luckly no screen or back damage. Can't really blame her my redmi pad has dings in the corner aluminium frames sound great until you drop them.
