32 gig is nothing,l for the poorly-written, resource-hungry apps of today...

The only apps installed are WhatsApp, Absa, FNB, Zoom and the storage app I took screenshot of above. Maybe 1 or 2 more.

I went through all their folders and found nothing.

Have you tried clearing the cache? My old Samsung keeps on running out of space until I go the Apps and clear the cache of the largest apps.

Check your whatsapp for media

I've done all of that and even went in via file explorer to try and find files to delete manually.

When I see an item listed by a seller on Takealot, I immediately assume that it is not supported by the official importers / agents in SA. That's why there is only a 6 month warranty.

So yes, it is probably what you would call a parallel import and MIA would probably not honour the warranty - Takealot would.

Would be interested to know if the air fryer from MIA directly has a proper rubber-wrapped 3 prong on it from factory.

No it comes with a Chinese plug that looks like one you would use on your lawn mower but doesn't quite fit.

I happen to have an adaptor but it really should come with one.

Remember, all the pre-installed apps also eat available memory when they update. The original version of the app is stored in the portion of memory reserved for the Rom. Updates are stored in the available memory, together with all the other user apps. An app like Chrome, for example generally uses more than 500meg of available memory.

As previously stated, 32 gig is very small for today's inefficiently written apps.

Somebody else with the same model on this thread isn't having the same issue

They probably don't have WhatsApp with a couple of gigs of videos and pictures...

Takealot has the Poco M3 128GB model for R2 800 today.

Anybody buying today on the Orange deal? I doubt I'll get a better deal in the future, so I'm very tempted to buy the Note 10 Pro today.

Good day all

Im looking to buy a replacement phone for my Mi 9t Pro which I had bought from GearBest almost three years ago.

I see that amazon UK has the Poco F3 on sale for 249 UK pounds. In SA Rands it comes to about R6,000 inclusive of all charges.

Is this phone a good replacement for my Mi 9t Pro? And is it a good deal?

Has anyone bought from Amazon UK before, what has the experience been like?

Thanks in advance.

Here is the link on Amazon for the Poco F3:
