You're very welcome @LiquidSnake
The phone's supplied by WondaMobile are purchased from Samsung Hong Kong as I understand it.
WondaMobile know that some people want the Snapdragon version of the Samsung phone so have cornered the market to fill a niche.
The phone's are brand new unused models in sealed Samsung Retail Boxes.
Sometimes I receive money off vouchers in emails from Samsung.
For example I showed interest in the Samsung Fold³ so they sent me a £100 off voucher.
There are online sites that say they have discount codes but in my personal experience they don't work in most cases.
Never pay any type of subscription etc to be part of any site proposing to be able to provide vouchers is my advice.
Have a look by using a Google Search.
WondaMobile don't send out voucher codes apart from the one off £5 you have seen.
I sent back my Samsung Note 20 5G Exynos version to Samsung UK, received a refund and paid over £100 less for the Snapdragon soc version.
When buying from WondaMobile Pay particular attention to the different models that can have different Ram and internal storage options along with single sim and dual sim and preffered colour to ensure the correct model is chosen.
That's the beauty sometimes of shopping around in regards to the phone cost.
Many have thought the price is too good to be true and become hesitant until they read the Trust Pilot reviews and speak to past purchasers from WondaMobile like me.
In regards to clearing the phone's System Files Cache.
Clear your phone's System Cache Files by turning your phone Off and then from a set series of button presses go into the phone's System Files and clear the cache. No information is lost this way. You may need to insert your headphones or hook upto a computer with your data cable to get to this menu on the phone. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/
I know some people perform this after each successful software update.
I typically do this if I feel my phone needs this to remove built up old files etc causing any slight lag which isn't often as I use device care every Sunday.
As I've mentioned my preferred method of payment on my phone is Google Pay as I find it an easier option as one just unlocks the phone and hovers the phone over the Pay Point.
Samsung Pay is a different operation as I'm sure your aware.
I also prefer to use Gestures instead of the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen so using Google Pay is better for me.
I've never tried Samsung Pay on this phone although as we've discussed some owners have said it works even though WondaMobile suggest it won't !

“ I thinking of doing this, once updates have been applied on my new coming phone ”
Does this mean you've pulled the trigger and ordered your new phone @LiquidSnake ?
