And there goes your answer. Apps/email don't serve higher resolution stuff just because of the screen resolution - it's fixed across all devices.

Nothing against you, just fixing a wrong assumption. :D



This part is wrong factually.

Hmm then I'm really curious.
Would scrolling Instagram for example on an iPhone 4 consume an equal amount of data as that on say an S7 Edge?
Theoretically it doesn't make sense to me.

So it's okay to get the China version? Since China version also can get 4G+ there's no point getting HK version? Thanks.

To be more precise, China version does not get 4G+ in Singapore but will get 4G+ in other countries. However you will at least get 4G connection in Singapore.
The reason China model does not get 4G+ in Singapore is because it does not support Band 20.
If you travel often, it might be better to buy the China Model as it supports more bands, you can refer to the following:

Europe / Asia model
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/40

China model
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE : Bands 1/3/5/7/8
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/39/40/41
TD-SCDMA : Bands 34/39
CDMA EVDO: BC0


Base on the way I use my phone, I don't need the extra speed from 4G+.
But I prefer to have better chance to be connected to internet when travelling hence I went with China Model.

Hope this helps.

Actually not getting 4G+ isn't due to band 20 ya. From what i know, it's just a matter of the phone not being able to aggregate the necessary bands to reach cat 6 or higher speeds. In Singapore we're using band 3 and 7 mainly, and singtel is using band 8 too. So to get 4G+ speeds (cat 6 or cat 9 now), the phone needs to be able to combine the these bands.

In the Chinese variant OP3T A3010's case, it doesn't. The rest of the world variant A3003 should be able to. I've only used the ROTW version for OP3, and that was able to get 4G+ speeds here, so i assume the same for OP3T.

If you see Google's own site, they will always list every thing, including the CA (carrier aggregation) bands. https://madeby.google.com/phone/specs/ Sadly I don't remember seeing other manufacturers doing the same.

But anyway, Singapore's 4G speeds is already quite fast already. I think most people wouldn't even notice the difference between 4G and 4G+. :D

Actually it makes the most sense. It's too time consuming/wasting of resources for the app to notify the servers of your device resolution, and then serve resized images to your device.

Much easier to send the same resolution/size to all devices, and have the devices scale them to fit.

https://colorlib.com/wp/size-of-the-instagram-picture/

The link basically tells you the resolution of Instagram images and how it has upgraded through the years to be sharper - but that also means it has upgraded for all devices, and not reliant on the device resolution.

It's pretty simple if you know anything about web page design - most websites don't serve higher resolution images, but use code to scale and fit most browsers.
