I am in dilemma, currently using Galaxy Z Fold 7, I love the slimness and form factor, only thing I hate is camera. What should I do, should I switch to Pixel 10 Pro XL?

No the pro folds are not top of the line in terms of camera also.

If u want good camera - vivo
If u prefer more for thinness, keep ur zf
If you want clean stock android or early updates and compatibility, pixel

Any experts know why the showstopper here? Imda? Mddi? Or Telco?


From ChatGPT:


That’s a sharp question — and Singapore is actually a perfect example of why Google hasn’t rolled out Call Screening everywhere yet.


Here are the likely reasons it’s not available in Singapore:




⚖️ 1. Strict Call Recording & Privacy Rules


  • Singapore has the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which requires consent for collecting or recording personal data — and a live call transcription could fall into this category.
  • Even though Google says Call Screening is “on-device” and not stored, legally it may still be treated as a form of call monitoring/recording.
  • To comply, Google would have to redesign prompts or add disclaimers that might not match how the feature works in the US or Japan.



📞 2. Telco & IDA/IMDA Regulations


  • The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) regulates telecom services in Singapore.
  • They already mandate certain anti-spam measures (e.g., the +65 caller ID framework to detect overseas spoofed calls).
  • Google would need to align with these frameworks and possibly work with local carriers (Singtel, StarHub, M1) — which complicates rollout.



🗣️ 3. Language & Accent Support


  • Singapore is multilingual (English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil).
  • Google Call Screening relies on speech-to-text for real-time transcription. Right now, it’s tuned mostly for US/UK/Australian English and Japanese.
  • Handling local accents (Singlish, Chinese dialects, etc.) adds another technical barrier.



📱 4. Pixel Market Size


  • Pixel phones are officially sold in Singapore, but it’s still a tiny market compared to the US, Canada, or Japan.
  • Google tends to prioritize rolling out exclusive features in larger Pixel regions first, where regulatory approvals justify the cost.



✅ In summary:
Google hasn’t enabled Call Screening in Singapore mainly due to privacy laws (PDPA), IMDA telecom regulations, multilingual speech challenges, and small Pixel adoption rates.

So many negatives reviews from the west to east YT reviewers. Google must be crazy to price the PXL at such high price.

I'll wait for 11. Hope my 9PXL can tong.

:spin:
9PXL still can tong one la.... unless itchy for latest tech.
