He is only using for wasabi so kind of pointless to have 5G. Whats more 5G is very area dependent. Also have been proven to not provide the expected speeds that was promised. The only good thing about the 5G is NFC. The 4G one doesn;t have this for some reason.

yes, that is right. Then this budget phone is suitable for his requirement.

But I will top up a little bit for upgrade if need further usage in the future.

I need another phone just for WhatsApp business use. So I bought a new oppo phone A5s. Android version 8.1.

Then Google play cannot open. Asked chatgpt, need to manually download the APK version. But the step are so hard and confusing.

Now I stuck edi. Phone don't have Google play store. Can't even install hotline to active the number and can't open WhatsApp coz can't download.

Why manually installing APK so hard one

lesson learned..

as long as you're subscribing to a telco, get a free phone which meets your needs..( tied only to 2 year contract).. no headaches, no issues and it's "free"..
