I been thinking about the Pixel 4a but with the upcoming 4a 5G on the way. I been thinking whether I should wait for the 5G version or should I just get the 4a now.

Anyone facing same dilemma now?

Understand the 5G will not be sold in Singapore. A lot of discussion on this already.

probably ~$600

Japan has it listed for 60.5k???

If using the rate of 80, it's bout mid 700 sg..

If going by USD$499 and using a rate of 1.4(XE.com rate is 1.38 so 1.4-1.41 should be close) and add in GST, around S$750..

Mid 700+ seems abit pricey for a mid-ranger.... Hopefully street prices hover 600 to 600+.the price would be much more reasonable

I would say 750 to be close since u're going to import in perhaps from Amazon, it's fixed at USD$499..You add in forex rates from using cc and then GST, around the price i mention liao..

5G will take some time to iron out in SG.

So no point buying a 5G phone yet.

Exactly..Now all offering booster pack or something and not full standalone 5G yet, piggyback on existing 4G it seems..I will wait for Pixel 6a or 7a then look into 5G..

SG won't have full 5G coverage till 2024-2025. Getting a device for 5G now is kind of jumping the gun.
