Samsung Galaxy S7

[faniebraai]

Lots of people selling their old devices here.. You guys all buying the S7 cash?

nope. use cash to settle contract early, and then upgrade.

What faniedry said.... Haha classic. The things we do

 

[Saba'a]

R27750.00c

150 x 24 = actual cost to me

Edit - plus due an upgrade since Feb

Seems the best deal price wise so far is MTN?

 

[AstroTurf]

Wondering if there will be some decent covers avail on Friday. I see takealot have speck cases 499. But a waiting time of a few days

I'll get a cover via S Rewards I think. Have over 200k points and nothing to spend them on yet

Mtn's deals come with 30gbs of lte data but it's only valid for 30 days.

Lol. Then back to the 100mb a month.

 

[d7e7r7]

500mb if I recall correctly? Does anyone know if Afrihost mobile data works on contract?

Not too certain one will be able to get but will see.

500MB Data for R599 on MyChoice 100 - 24 month contract.
As I have wall-to-wall Wi Fi where I live and work I sure as hell don't require data, so I am going for the Flexi package. I can use the R200 for whatever I like (Voice/SMS).
By the way, d7e7r7, the cheapest deal so far seems to be Telkom's Smart Plan 50, but it's not so good value-wise when compared against other contracts.

Yea, it's the one thing that is pretty much always available for other phones so hoping for the same with the s7

Who was the dude with the Telkom pricing again? What were the prices?

 

[mercurial]

Nevermind, I found this article - http://mybroadband.co.za/news/smartphones/157749-samsung-galaxy-s7-telkom-contract-prices.html

Interesting test. Doesn't bother me at all for two reasons though:

1) We're getting the Exynos 8990 version, not the Snapdragon version that was tested in this video. This may or may not make a difference. Either way, it doesn't matter because.. (see next point)

2) The scenario tested does not represent any situation that I would find myself in day-to-day use of the phone. The Galaxy S7 slays the iPhone 6S in every way that matters to me (http://www.gizmag.com/iphone-6s-plus-vs-galaxy-s7-edge-comparison/42180/)

Can't wait for my silver S7 Edge :twisted:

Any real benchmarks/tests on this phone out there yet?
Not the "rumoured" or "coming out with" articles.

You can order from the Telkom site now - https://secure.telkom.co.za/today/shop/personal/devices/

So, personally I don't see an obvious reason of going for the edge. Yes, it's nice and modern and the battery is better.

Practically, I don't think it will add any benefit to my life.

I'm also on the fence on what to get, it's a pity they didn't make the S7 also 5.5".
I'm using a iphone 6 plus currently.

I was seriously considering the Note5 in December, but my upgrade is only due in April.
