Wonder if I should save $200 for 4a 5G instead..

Ask yourself if 90hz display,wireless charging, extra 2gb ram and bigger battery is worth the extra $200.

4A 5G not in the list of countries launch right??

Importation + GST after forex, smelly smelly also mid S$700..

CPU itself is not a major upgrade from 4A. 5G wise, SG wont have standalone 5G infra until like late 2024 for nationwide coverage..I would look at a 5G capable phone then..4A would be sufficient for usage now.

not worth lah p4a5G. SG just started to roll out NSA 5G networks, still very location based and not fast enough. Wait for Pixel 7 instead! :)

Guys need help again, previously i asked help regarding any option to change the screenshot file from PNG - Jpeg, seem like only option is to d/l 3rd party apps to have it in Jpeg file.. Now another question, how to set my mp3 music to become ringtone? I go setting - sound - advanced - Ringtone then i'm stuck. I had used many Android phone, from sony - Huawei - Oneplus - Samsung, this is the most user unfriendly android ever, or is it only me?? I used Iphone before but too many restriction so i change to android.

I lazy so transfer the ringtone to google drive then settings > sound > phone ringtone > my sound > hit the plus button on bottom right > find your ringtone.

You can transfer to the phone storage and add from there also rather than google drive

Stock android mah...it is designed to be minimalist. Some like it because it isn't filled with things they don't want and will install whatever they need themselves. The lightweight design also allows for OS faster updates.

Many features you see on other phones are created by phone manufacturers themselves. Some are useful, some not so much but everything is pre installed making the software experience feel bloated.

But it is because of this variety and choice that makes Android interesting year after year unlike fruity phone

If 5G support, ultra wide and bigger battery is not a priority, then yes, 4a definitely gives the most bang for the buck.

For me personally, I do want that ultra wide lens so p4 5g gets my vote.

Use Files (Default google pixel file explorer app or use your choice of file explorer app) -> internal memory -> ringtones folder (copy your audio file in here.

Go settings -> sounds -> phone ringtone choose your song
