I am upgrading in March and looking for some opinions on what would be best phone to go for and why ?

I do want to say that I wish Vodacom had the Asus phones.

Very open end question.

What don’t you list what you need in a phone and give some sort of shortlist that people can work with?

Nokia 3310 is pretty good if you want good battery life (see how open ended the answer can be?)

The question is also asked into your opinion, so if you want to opinionate that a Nokia 3310 is good in 2024, then so be it.

I kept it open ended intentionally, as I don't have any specific needs for the phone and want opinions on different phones and will do my own research from there.

Hope you have a wonderful day further :)

Or you can just use common sense and know I am talking about smart phones.

Rather don't comment if you can't have a basic amount of understanding an open ended question and I kept it open ended intentionally, as I don't have any specific needs for the phone.

Hope you have a wonderful day further :)

Friday really did come early this week.

Suck a fatty dude, I hope no one gives you any recommendations.
 
He was making a joke above to be honest.

Rather tell us what you are going to use the phone for and what is the monthly budget.

I personally love iPhone's (15 pro user)
But the new Samsung S24 is good i hear.

What are you currently using?

Rugged or normal, powerhouse or day to day?
 
What is it this week with people responding to genuine attempts to help and give advice with contempt and condescension?

Damn, one of the main benefits of Carb is the helpful community, people apparently just want to rub their grubby arseholes all over people's goodwill.

Anyway I agree the 3310 is a great phone.

Then he edits his comment to come across as more sincere, without apologising to Jolly.... Nee man.
 
Ez. Buy the best phone that you are willing to throw in the bin if it happens to fall out of your pocket or slide off a table and shatter into multiple thousand rand pieces in an instant.
10/20k+ devices can suck a fat chode

Currently using a S21.

I want opinions in general without any information, as that gives me a bigger and wider variety of phones with people's genuine opinions on the phones, hence I didn't give any information.

I hear you, but I do keep my cellphones insured 99% of the time
 
I've been using a Xiaomi Note 10 Pro for almost 3 years now and it's still going strong.

I highly recommend looking into any of the recent Xiaomi phones they are usually excellent value for money :D
 
Here, I asked ChatGPT on your behalf. Even spent a prompt on GPT4 for you. Tried to put as much of your perspective in there as possible. Hope it helps.

Keep going, popcorn is almost ready :)
 
I used to chop and change phones every other month,
went back to iphone in the 12 series,
upgrading every two years now, on 14 pro max, will get 16 pro max.

everything works, its easier etc
 
I bought an Oppo A74 on carb for ~R 3 500 about 2 years ago. Zero regrets. Solid phone. It's been bumped to droid 13, and it still received a security update this January, so seems to be well supported few years after launch.

Apologise to Jolly you knobhead. You already edited your comment, so obviously you feel you acted like a cunt.

There is no apology needed as they haven't read what was originally stated, if they did then I will apologize.

I did misread their message which is my mistake, hence I did edit my comment.

Honestly the S21 is still a nice phone.

Why don't you save some money and just use it until you REALLY need an upgrade.

I'd still rock the S21 for like another 2 years - I just like not having debt.

Same here. There is no difference significantly enough to even get the s22 ultra right now nevermind the s23 ultra.
