Apple iPhone 8

Small in hand but not underpowered, this one runs on the A11 Bionic chipset, a 10nm hexa-core setup that was genuinely quick for its time and still handles everyday apps and light gaming fine today. The 4.7-inch Retina LCD packs 326 ppi into a screen-to-body ratio that feels cramped by current standards, but the pixel density holds up for reading and video.

The rear camera is a single 12MP f/1.8 lens with OIS, capable of 4K video at up to 60fps, paired with a 7MP front camera for selfies and Face ID alternatives (this model uses a front fingerprint sensor instead). Battery capacity is modest at 1821 mAh, but 15W fast charging and Qi wireless charging help offset that, and Apple rates it for up to 40 hours of standby. Apple iPhone 8 price in Malaysia starts from RM1799.

Build quality is solid too, with glass front and back over an aluminum frame, plus IP67 water resistance. It ships in Silver, Space Gray, Gold, and Red, running iOS 11 out of the box but upgradable to iOS 13.4.
