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

Because people like you don't know where to get virus free APKs

Takpelah free virus, empty phone got virus also can let it rot one.

U waterfish kena scam already. A quick check on gsmarena states that your Oppo is a 2019 model and has been discontinued.
Why the hell you go buy such model ?
I mean there newer models low-end like Redmi 14c that comes with Android 14 from factory.

6yo phone with 8yo os, lol.

buy cheap buy twice.

now on shopee with vouchers u can get the latest redmi, realme etc budget brand sub rm300 phone for around rm270 like that that comes with the latest android version

but u want to spend your money on a 2019 junk lol

Ya lor. Crazy. New one is only under RM400. Maybe TS go buy those used one for RM150.

aurora store?

.
Also because it's an imported China model (stolen.?) = no Google Play Store.

Yalah kena water fish scam edi... I tot no need any special spec since only need to use WhatsApp. Mana tau version edi totally outdated until can't even run Google .

Try to submit return and refund first see how

just curious...you brought brand new phone? how much damage? whats the memory? 2GB RAM would not be sufficient nowadays. At least 4GB to run smoothly

Bought on shoppee 6.6 rm172.

I don't really care the performance. Just need for only WhatsApp only.

Manatau WhatsApp also failed

When buy 2nd hand phone.. make sure check on internet first... Current android version - 2 version ..

i.e if Latest version is 16, make sure phone can be upgraded to 14...

Nowadays chip2 phone can run the latest OS.

Like banking apps, Whatsapp won't be supported on dino phones.

wow 6 year old phone

Maybe is those fake china phone… bring back to Oppo shop ask and see …

Install apk also hard, must be ifaggot

If you just want to use another WhatsApp on phone, just download WhatsApp Business. No need buy new phone

Lol sohai betul

Usage for keeping a number or two connection's alive is probably the only function still good for it..

Should have just get a Samsung.

Doubt any apk can help. It has to do with the dated android version

Please buy at least 4gb ram phone in order for u to use Whatsapp..

My previous job using 2gb ram for whatsapp business and I suffer so much using the phone.

that's why i always ask people to settle for mid range phone
never ever go as cheap as possible...
if u go for those low end phone, u would wanna throw that phone to the wall after a week of usage

Kiamsiap is ok...but not until the point of getting so outdated HP lo.

Better usability get a used HP instead of new.

Ask Chatgpt or /K nxt time

for ip16 you can get almost similar price with 1 year warranty brand new summore, why buy second hand?

buy iphone

Got so many pon expert here and yet TS so bodo no ask here before buying.
Ask pun free. Tak ada charge!
Buat malu shj!
KitZhai
Better TS delete account in LYN!

TS bought Clone phone lo. Feel like what he bought is not even a legitimate oppo phone

TS can check out this app that reveals real spec (especially ram and storage)

new phone but android 8? topkek

cheap thing no good
good thing no cheap

Ayam punya 2017 Mi A1 android 9 still ok can use whatsapp, yt, browse shopee and lazada just fine oso. A bit laggy and battery already take out coz cannot hold a charge edi. But if connect to charger 24/7 can use as small 2nd screen.

ini boleh pi ah?

better add 200 extra to get 5G type

cheap phone = brick ... kasi buang jer .

cheapest I got here

RM369

Redmi 14C 6/128 Official Xiaomi Store

while cheapest Xiaomi 5G hp is RM689,Redmi Note 14 5G

369 - not sure will slow down or not after many apps are installed (not games app)

Last time I bought redmi 11 5g, just RM500plus. Can't remember but not over 600

Shud change ur name to SoZai

below 500 many choices. apply voucher man

new?!?!

and no google play?!?!?!?!

Sohzai la

Besides poco,Redmi even oppo3x is better choice with SD chips

Android 8!!?? I’m surprised can still turn on

perfect example of ignorance

How cheap is cheap? RM200? RM150?

g5sim

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.

Buy Samseng S25U la. Everything can install and use. with 7 years of OS and security update.

so mahal... dont recommend not within his budget and usage lah

Actually i brought 3 used phone recently...last 3 months

From lowyat forrum
- redmi note 10 - rm150 - very good condition. phone only
- redmi note 11 - rm180 - very good condition. phone only

From carousell
- S21 FE - rm 420 - very good condition. phone only

You just need to be patient and see if there is a good deals around.
As always...ask forum, i am sure a lot of people can advise or maybe they have old phones to sell too.

Convert to business account
Link it to PC
Settle

maybe he needs to carry around...cannot be carrying PC around all the time

I remember can link to multiple devices including phone and tablet

Hmm.

Rm 300 can get that phone less that 300?

Maybe I can use it to bomb back the seller hmm

Problem is that the phone now don't even have browser. I can't do shit

Download apk via computer and upload the file to the phone via cable. Then install from phone.

New phone? Android 8.1? New old stock?

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"..

can get better deal during 6.6 or 7.7 etc, new phone summor

can get pixel 6a for RM500 USA version

kesian

plenty of new budget phone, nubia, infinix, realme, poco selling under 300

I necessary need to use WhatsApp business only... Normal WhatsApp tabuli pakai for my work...

This how to do?

Yes as he said, this phone I won't be carrying around one. Just put at phone to send out messages twice a day only. But definitely need to use WhatsApp business lo

Tu lah tak beli ipon

Kesian. Buy Cheap Buy Twice. TS bodo as always.

No wonder Malaysia no hope

Got buyer that willingly kena scam

RM172
😳

is this an example of tauke diedie want to cut cost end up wasting more money??

don't even need to buy new phone. just use bluestacks https://www.bluestacks.com/apps/communicati...ness-on-pc.html

Don't do this or any virtualization (eg vmos or similar GMS emulator on Huawei platform). Or else WhatsApp may ban your account from login citing "unsafe WhatsApp version" (WhatsApp do use play integrity (fka safety net) for flagging suspicious account behaviour like spamming or logging into modded clients

Can share some pictures of the phone and screenshots? Suspected you bought a clone/fake phone

I love iPhone

2025 TS Regret buying cheap Android version 8.1 phone

Lol at least cheap new phone


At the same time, you could just use dual WhatsApps on your current phone

This post has been edited by stupiak07: Jun 14 2025, 03:29 PM

how cheap is ur phone? samsung also got cheap phone mah RM500 je

I think the one you bought is fake kot. I saw some listings in LZD as well, got many cheap phones by redmi/oppo, way too cheap but no warranty and the details seem to be too shady.

Lol sohai ts kena scam

For my work purpose, I definitely need another phone with number with WhatsApp business only. Yeah got thought of blue stack. But what I really need is to use the WhatsApp business, to scan into other software. Normal WhatsApp won't work coz it will get blocked one

Download Whatsapp business and log in
It will ask if you want to convert
