According to the website your purchase includes a free cover. You can also buy a tempered glass screen protector from them for R149.25.

How does Geekbuying work? i usually get products from TakeALot and it's in rands and I know the payment procedure. How does GeekBuying work i saw you can buy from a bunch of different currencies that kind of freaked me out.

They are based in China so it takes a while to get here. Also, you may be charged import tax/duties by customs & no local warranty.

I was looking at that but i heard the screen on time is only 5-6 hours

You'll struggle to find better than that mAh on other phones. Also depends on your usage and settings.

If you are serious about battery saving then you'll also be looking into rooting and modifying settings to maximise battery like underclocking and undervolting - Which is not possible on most mainstream phones nowadays.

I see Cash Crusaders stock the Doogee brand, these days. Brand new, cheap and full specced. All sizes.

The mAh is very high, however I don't think xiaomi handles it well. On light use a lot of people only get 4-5 hours.

Perhaps the https://shop.blackview.co.za/?s=bv6000&post_type=product. Haven't used it myself, but looking to buy it soon.
