Here's an unlocked Samsung A25-5G phone, 128 GB, dual nano-SIM, or single

That's about 3x what I can afford.

It's not good that you have a choice of one phone with 128GB for under
R1500, I suppose it's better than a choice of zero ...

You could get 64GB for about R1000, but I see the weasel words "4GB RAM
extended" which I think means 2GB of real memory plus 2GB of fake memory?

The one I mentioned before here:

<https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_note_50-12799.php>

is said in the ad to have 8Gb, being 4Gb + 4Gb "dynamic" RAM, whatever
that means.

It's R1900, which is about £82.37 or $US104.60

I don't claim to know the equivalent spending power of R vs $ vs £, but
it seems the real choice begins at R2000
