There are tuition threads you can add to. You are unlikely to get any response on a calculator thread! -
I think the TI-Nspire CX or the TI-84 Plus CE https://cfone.net/graphing-calculators-on-amazon.html is a good choice. Maybe you could take them into your consideration list.

I hope the rule is updated to accomodate the usage of smartphones (I know I know, the smartphone is too smart and too hard to monitor or control during exams by the teachers).
The use of calculators was introduced by the Ministry of Education for Primary 5 students in 2008 and Primary 6 students in 2009.[/quote]
Reason: buying a new graphing calculator costs $179 from the school (my sec3 daughter just informed me yesterday).
While buying an app that emulates the same graphing calculator (same software and functionalities as the calculator but runs on smartphone) only costs $5.
I assume almost all students already have smartphones, or else, a $179 can also buy a new decent smartphone. -
Can buy second-hand to save costs. Ask those who have completed A levels or try Carousell.

From past experience tutoring JC and IB students: Usually schools recommend a particular graphing calculator to use. Then, in notes or class instructions, it’ll be based on that particular calculator. If any student chooses an allowed calculator, but different from that chosen by school, that student would likely have to learn to use it himself/herself.
Using app on smartphone is not feasible, as smartphones are not be allowed in exams.
Hope this helps.
