  • Enough RAM: At least 4GB for smooth everyday use.
  • Expandable Storage: A microSD card slot gives you flexibility.
  • Modern Display: Look for terms like AMOLED or Super AMOLED for better colors and power efficiency, even on budget phones.

Where to find the best deals in 2024

  • Online retailers: Takealot, Makro, etc. often have great pricing.
