the sg banking apps have the ability to detect whether the system is rooted or not. once rooted, it will not be able to function. this is security. if rooted still able to function, better don't have any account with this bank.
Personally tested and there Ways to hide root from banks etc within magisk but the thing that can't be fixed is the loss of HD playback on Netflix due to the unlocked bootloader. https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/28/netflix-hd-oneplus-7-pro-widevine-bootloader/?amp

My Google pay still works without any tinkering unlike Singpass Simplygo McDonald's which require me to change some magisk settings.

I don't see a big difference between the models 7 and 7t Sd855 is more than enough for me, I hardly play games on mobile so I don't need a 90hz panel. It's S$100 difference as well.

I'm looking for near vanilla or vanilla android, so there are only oneplus, pixels and android one phones that fit this criteria AFAIK.

I'm currently using Nokia 7.1 plus but the screen cracked when I dropped it (didn't realise I didn't replace the previous screen protector that cracked too lol) and I like this vanilla android, had xiaomi and Meizu phones previously, dislike the customised android by these brands.

So between getting the screen and battery(孙便) replaced and a new phone, I decided to get a new phone.
Where to get SG version of Nokia phones other than Lazada?

u can go apple store try out ipad pro with 120 hz

compare against normal ipad 60 hz

thats the diff

Oh good suggestion! Wah ipad pro so high refresh rate, then will it be even much more smoother than op7t when scrolling?

to each his own. i find the smoothness of the 90ghz annoying. i reverted back to 60.
everything scrolls too fast and buttery most time pages just overscroll.

So 90hz also not say v good in a way :eek:

which one to go for.
7t or 7pro ?
price about the same.

7t, flat screen ftw

CCLOH makes a good point. If you can bypass, it means the app is susceptible to intrusion.

That's why my daily driver's bootloader is never unlocked due to banking apps and other payments apps.

What do you mean by "SG" version ?
Nokia sometimes have China and Global version which will come with Google apps either way.

Example, Nokia X5 / 5.1 plus are 100% identical. Some other models may have different specifications but essentially cousins.

You can find them on overseas stores like taobao, aliexpress, gearbest etc...

As in, are there any official Nokia store for SG?

are there better alternatives to OP7 like the oppo reno ace? Does it the ace sell in singapore?

In terms of software and camera, Pixel is the closest alternative. But Pixel doesn't come with wide angle camera and costs more.

Reno Ace not announced in Singapore yet. While the hardware is as good as OP7, it runs Color OS so look before you jump.

Official physical store, no.
I believe Nokia sets with local manufacturer warranty are vsold at various mobile stores and online portals such like Lazada.

Do a search and you should see Nokia flagship lazmall

Color OS still as bad as last time. I saw at least there is App drawer now and it tries to be more Android-like

The dark days of Color OS 3.2 made me quit Oppo last time

If you don't mind a slower Soc and MIU, can consider Redmi K20 Pro

That one flat full screen with pop up camera, which is what the 7 pro should have been.
