Advice needed - Looking for new Android phone

[squarepipe]

Personally I skip phones that support only 1 physical SIM + esim considering the sorry state of esim support in Singapore.
Also the days of small flagships phones are over. The only small phones left are budget models and those aren't even that small.

One big downside I find with google phones, they have storage of only 64GB which is pretty *********small********* by today*********s standards.

Wonder why they dun wanna make it at least 128GB which is more comfy to many I suppose.

Hmm. My Pixel 3 XL is a 128gb model. Currently used only half of the storage. What's missing for me is dual SIM support.

I am using Pixel 4 with 64GB only.

You have unlimited cloud storage to keep your high quality photos.

Didn't Google end the high quality free upload already ?

By the way, TS what's the plan you are going to re-con ?
The plan will impact the subisdy and type of phone you can get on your $200 budget.

Previously was free space for photos at original resolution.

Now downgrade to high resolution only.

Other than huawei which other phones support dual SIM.
I only know some iPhone models avail in HK offer dual sim.

Don't look at the rating, go see the phone for yourself. It is one of the phones that many people feedback to Samsung that they want a phone with smaller form factor, yet can squeeze a 5.8" screen.

Hehee ok bro.
I dun fully trust those Angmo reviews.
Think the views of you guys here more useful and worth considering.

I see. Still, 64gb is pitiful for a flagship especially one without expandable storage.

Mine is Starhub $50/mth plan.
I think my price range still ok cos I’m not looking at high end phones like iPhone.
Oh ya, need to add I need pay Starhub $100 early re-contract after one year for Hubber plan.

Juz post here for info the prices:

SS S10e ($149)
Pixel 3 ($0)
HW Nova 5T ($0)
HW P30 ($49)
HW P30 Pro ($49 but $75 plan)
HW Mate 30 ($169)
HW Mate 30 Pro ($199 but $75 plan)

Say if I buy SS 10e, $149+100=249 still acceptable

I am using s10e till now.
Still love the size. The size is just right, and I add on a uag case for it. The only thing is 3100mah battery life is not as good as iPhone due to android. The performance is great. You may want to check with m1 for better deals?

Well it depends on your usage.

Personally I can still survive on this size.

So definitely there is still a demand. Probably less demand.

I’m in contract with Starhub under Hubber plan.
Hubber has this benefit which you can do early recontract after one year and paying an early $100 recontract fee. So must as well recon w them.

Nowadays 128 about right.
With proper housekeeping.

256 abit too much
U tend to accumulate yr photos n videos n not bother transferring them to yr hard disk.

High resolution (up to 16 meg pixels) has always been free using Google photo app. Not limiting to Google phones.

We are using Google photos for our iPhones which anyway are limited to 12Meg Pixels.

All depends on the usage. I can survive with 128GB comfortably with my old iPhone 6S and now Huawei P20.

My wife has used up almost all the 256GB of her iPhone 7+ (kids Video and some learning video) and now on the way to fill up the 256GB for her iPhone X (better now that kids are older). The two kids are also using her iPhones and they also take photos and videos.

She does not allow me to do housekeeping even though I had to deleted some videos to enable iOS updates for the older iPhone 7 recently.

Went to SS shop to check out the S10e and S10
Both having promo
S10e after discount $200 is $878 (why slash so much uh?)
While the S10 after $100 discount $998

Feel wise, S10e definitely more compact n light,
Looks wide, S10 seems to look better with the curves (do objects with curves always look nicer to guys??? )

Asked for advice, staff of cos recomm the S10 with better specs and only $120 more.
I compare compare size, the S10e seemed only slightly shorter in length.

What’s yr advice guys? Would you have any specific reason to choose the S10e over S10 other than the relatively shorter length and lighter weight?

 

[shawnng]

7 months on s10e. Love the size as it’s packed with high end processor.
The only concent is battery life mainly due to dual Sim with tpg. Speed wise is good. Samsung phone dropped fast, remember the note 10 that launched recently?

Huawei the only one with dual sim so far?

If I can get a phone with dual sim will be a bonus.

Like you, I also have a TPG SIM card. This is an additional one.
If can use concurrently with my starhub sim cd will be good.
