Samsung Galaxy A35 and A55

[BBSA]

Also got this



It does work on MTN

I am contemplating returning the A35 and asking Takealot to replace it with a device that is covered by Samsung South Africa's warranty.

They won't as you bought from a third party. You'd have to get a refund and buy from them directly

Direct on Takealot?

Direct on Takealot?

Yup or from Samsung themselves, it's not an easy task as Takealot doesn't make filtering out third party sellers easy. Like this one seems to be from Takealot/Samsung

But these ones aren't




The A35 does seem to be more biased towards Samsung/Takealot vs 3rd Party though.

Is it accurate to say that the 24-month warranty I received is essentially of no value?

Not entirely sure, could check on the Samsung warranty?

I think I just going to send it back to be safe.

If I go check on my Samsung account it shows this for my phone. Yet oddly enough for my galaxy buds bought through fnb it says its not supported locally.

 

[BBSA]

Will it be fine to buy the top one?

I have returned the device.

I would report that to Takealot especially the reseller, cause that is hecticlly wrong on their part.

Will do that. You think it is fine to buy one which is sold by Takealot (see screenshot above)

IF there is no third party seller listed, it should be Samsung direct, I know my S23 Ultra was as it wasn't through a third party. But my A34 wasn't :-(

I received a credit from Takealot and have ordered this one:

Takealot

I shelled out an extra R700, but at least I get a charger and fingers crossed the warranty will be good.
