Was Thinking Of Selling My S10+ to buy this
But I think I should wait it out?

Rather wait for the Mi 10 . I don't know what the pricing locally will be like but there's always the avenue of importing it. Mi Note 10 would be downgrade from a S10+.

Like you said we don't know the price yet for the mi 10 yet so it depends on the individual's budget. Also depends on what you mainly use the phone for - if you buy the mi note 10 for its camera capability it is actually a upgrade to the s10+

Did u install? How do I go about changing.mine?

Yup - I had to select an 'receive updates early' option from the About Phone/System update/.../update settings menu.

Probably a dumb question but are these updates tied to the mobile network you're using? I'm on Telkom Mobile and even with that setting enabled I have yet to receive the update.

Nope

Don't think so - I think it took a couple of hours after I flipped the switch to register that there was something new (1.9G) - I'm on voda.

 

[enerdude]

I'm on voda.

For a moment I thought you mean vodka

Thanks to both you and Enerdude.

Easy mistake to make. I'm the one on Vodka, that's why I signed a contract with Telkom Mobile. You don't do that sort of $h!t sober.

Yeah wait a while for the initial price drop. I see the Note 10 is already being compared to the S20 Ultra so it's a killer phone to have.

Fun Fact - Xiaomi released the successor to your phone - the Redmi Note 9 - the very same day you ordered the redmi note 8

Well it's an extra phone from my S8 insurance claim. So still got my S8 and S10.
