A 2-in-1 tablet can be worth buying for phone backups in SA if it gives you a larger screen and easier file handling than the phone alone. Check tablet stock, while productivity buyers can also compare Yoga 7 R31,999 or ZenBook A14 around R17,999.
A 2-in-1 tablet is an expensive answer to a phone-backup problem unless it also replaces a laptop. No verified 2-in-1 appears in the factpacks. The Hiksemi Pocket 1TB portable SSD at R900 gives a confirmed phone backup drive for a compatible transfer workflow.
The Hiksemi Pocket 1TB at R900 offers verified compact storage for photos and videos. Confirm the phone's USB support, connector and file-management method before expecting a direct copy.

For phone backups, storage space and simple file transfer matter more than stylus features or tablet mode novelty.
A 2-in-1 makes sense when you want backup checks on a bigger display without moving straight to a full desktop setup.
Confirm that your phone can connect cleanly to the device and that the storage available suits your photo and video library.
If backup is the main job, value comes from reliable storage handling and easy navigation, not the most expensive screen.
Look at how often you move files, how much media you keep, and whether the larger screen will save time.
A 2-in-1 laptop is often stronger when phone backups are part of wider productivity work.
