Best bang for buck!

I think also at great value was the Note 9S 4/64 that went for R3699 on Takealot at the start of November.

I'm hoping to find a 6/128GB 9S for around 4k if possible. NOTE: I tried the store 'MrShopper' without success, and notice an influx of negative comments on their Facebook and HelloPeter pages, so be warned if you come across them.

I'm taking a guess that prices on the current models should come down as we head into 2021 hopefully. What do you think?

Not bad for a local warranty. I imported the Poco X3 NFC two weeks ago for R5000 from Amazon. Slightly better spec than the Note 9 pro though.

Edit: UPS had additional customs charge of R372.30, so total cost was around R5400 landed

We can have cheaper phones like Xiaomi because of the low labour cost involved (cheap child labour), mass purchase of parts to lower costs and not much advertising on their end. God bless Xi Jinping, he knows how to run a country tight 为人民服务.

Are you talking about apple maybe?

 

[enerdude]

Yeah must be apple, their devices are so expensive and then they still charge you extra for some accessories that should have come with the device lol

I've not seen them anywhere locally. We bought 2 from Banggood for under R500 each. They go on special regularly.
