Asus Zenfone 3 Go

Budget shoppers looking at entry-level Android phones will find the Zenfone 3 Go sticks to basics. It runs on a Snapdragon 410 chipset paired with 2GB RAM, enough for everyday apps but not much multitasking headroom. Storage comes in 16GB or 32GB variants, and there's microSD support up to 256GB if you need more room for photos or media. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, translating to roughly 294 ppi, which is fine for reading and browsing.

On the camera side, you get a 13MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The 2650mAh battery is non-removable but should cover a full day of light to moderate use given the modest hardware. Asus Zenfone 3 Go price in Malaysia starts from RM429, and it ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow layered with ZenUI 3.5.

It's a dual SIM device with LTE support, so you can use two numbers and still get 4G data on one of them. Colour options are limited to Shimmer Gold/Rose and Pink/Navy Black.
