Vodacom and as a Upgrade

I just upgraded mine at Telkom and I didn't get wireless buds with mine. The agent told me that the ad online sometimes differs cuz its for new contracts. She will be finding out about the buds since it's not really fair considering how expensive the phone is and there aint even a gift regardless of whether its an upgrade or new contract.
 
This is great news

All Galaxy S10 phones ship with pre-installed screen protectors

I haven't received mine yet but the Vodacom rep told me they will only be able to order them today so I should get mine next week

Performance from the Exynos S10 is pathetic.

Yup

Pretty much the same as the M20P

I wonder why Samsung does this dual chip thing anyway?
Is the Exynos not available at all outside US?

USA can only get Snappy 855 cause of Patent rights. Samsung cant sell the Exynos in USA as Qualcomm hold some patent rights Exynos infringes on.

As for why Samsung is not selling S855 outside of USA.... profits. They make more money using their own chips than paying someone else.
 
Got my S10e (white) today from MTN who sms'd me out of the blue and said I can upgrade early. At the store they must have sold about 10 while I was there. Afaik they are now sold out (Canal walk)
Paying R750 with 1.5GB data and 50 Mins. I was paying about the same for my s8 with 2GB of data so not too bad deal. Included is the phone, accessories, wireless buds, back cover, screen protectors and a R500 Samsung accessory voucher.

I had a long cycle today so haven't had a chance to play that much but so far my impressions are good. The device feels tiny even though it has the same size screen as my s8 which now looks like a s3... Hardly felt it in my pocket during my cycle so that's a big plus.
Will report back once I've got a chance to play with it.

You need to claim your buds through the Samsung Members app.

This is a good deal
 
Is it the usual story with MTN and Vodacom not being dual sim?

The 855 is a much faster chip than Samsung's own 9820. Disappointing really.
