After the latest Android 10 update, I can't seem to edit/add a new Apn settings in network settings - which isn't a big deal at all to most people. The phone uses the default APN settings which is detected from the netwrok i.e. MyMTN for MTN. So if you use cellc with the normal cellc internet settings or vodacom with the vodacom default internet settings, then it'll be fine. Though you wouldn't be able to add afrihost/axxess apn's. I've been using the phone on Vodacom, MTN and tested my bro's Cellc sim in it as well.
When you do a factory data reset/restart the phone you'll have to wait for the activate network popup screen to finish (which I presume is trying to connect to the US network) that takes about 3-4 minutes - I almost never turn the phone off completely. I see it once and never again. The phone works fine with no issues. The android 10 update was really good, the phone works smoothly and the hardware is brilliant especially the OLED display. I guess they might add the function to edit the apn's in a future software update.
