It was updated together when Android 15 was pushed out for the R9 pro.

Currently using a pixel 6a and looking to move on to another mid range phone. Is Sharp R9 / R10 a good choice? I think e-sim is quite important so a lot of china phones are eliminated and also need to consider banking apps compatibility. My other shortlisted phone would be Nothing 3a Pro or Pixel 9a / 10a. No gaming on phone at all, just need decent camera and water resistance would be good.
Oh yah I also value the look of the phone which I feel Sharp R9 looks pretty good.

Claimed your voucher from google yet?

Sharp R9

At this point point from Courts @ 499 SGD that comes with SD card and eSIM.. looks quite decent. However, with 1 year of warranty only and service center at only 1 location (#06-02, Lift Lobby 1, Alexandra Technopark), it might be troublesome if you encounter any issue with it. Maybe someone who use this phone can help answer this for you.

Oneplus 13R as per what anthonygreenisreal mentioned and Redmi Note 14 PRO/PRO+ 5G (You may have to check the physical sets at retail store) are 2 phones that comes to mind that has eSIM support (global variant) and sold locally here.

Cons: Very slow Android security updates, typically with a 4-6 months lag.
The main camera can take good photos in the day but the colors are artificially boosted ( this is irregardless of HDR being enabled or disabled).

Build quality is great, features wise, it is good as well.

Liking the 9a so far. Really good value with eSIM. And the 7 yrs updates are nice.

Sad sia, my CMF Phone 2 Pro got immediate security patch dropped the moment I hooked the device to my home WiFi.

Security update now at 1st Jun 2025 for that now. Sharp Mobile needs to do better on this front other than giving out free wireless earbuds.

Don't get it when the r9 is half the price and has 90% of the same specs

that's one of the concern when you buy those "cold brand"

i believe those redmagic phone suffer the same fate.
