aaur4man Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 anyway Snapdragon chipsets fron 6 series onwards are actually pretty snappy. nowadays apps use shit tons of memory, so buy the phone with the most ram within your budget. another phone to watch (if dont intend to flash other rom) is Samsung Galaxy A23. not sure if coming to SG though. Snapdragon 680, camera with OIS. potentially below $300. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung Galaxy A23 https://www.expansys.com.sg/samsung-galaxy-a23-5g-dual-sim-4gb-128gb-peach-376863/ Quote Processor: Octa-core (2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) / MediaTek MT6833 Dimensity 700 5G (7 nm) / Mali-G57 MC2 Not Snapdragon leh?? Cost $346!! Is this correct?? See the SG 5G availability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Seems like Poco also has Snapdragon.... Qualcomm SM7150-AC Snapdragon 732G (8 nm) But dont know if its for the higher pricy X3 model. Which probably out of my budget liao. https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10415&idPhone2=10599&idPhone3=11336 Edited April 17, 2022 by Bigbird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apps and Whatspp videos will take up a lot of storage for me the trick is always clear WA junk history, and backup photos elsewhere. i doubt if i put back all my photos in will take up more than 25GB. lots of cache files also can clear once in a while. of course the issue is how the phone will perform as its flash memory gets almost fully filled up, especially phones with eMMC instead of UFS. the problem is gaming apps are taking more than a gig each, so difference between gaming and non gaming users on storage is big. (non gamer) if you have a high storage need then limited to mid-high tier phones with 128/256GB , and flagships with 512GB. or just get an iPhone Edited April 18, 2022 by aaur4man 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
