HMD Crest

A 6.67-inch OLED panel at 1080 x 2400 resolution handles daily viewing and scrolling, backed by a Unisoc T760 chipset built on 6nm and paired with 8GB RAM plus 256GB storage. That's a generous storage figure for this price bracket, and there's a microSDXC slot if you need more, though it shares space with the second SIM tray. HMD Crest price in Malaysia starts from RM799, positioning it as a budget pick with specs that don't feel entirely budget.

What sets the Crest apart is the repair angle: HMD built this phone so you can swap the display, back cover, battery, and charging port yourself, and it's rated dust and splash resistant on top of that. The 5000 mAh battery is user-replaceable too, a rarity these days, and charges at 33W over USB-C.

Camera-wise, you get a 50MP main sensor with autofocus alongside a 2MP depth sensor at the back, and a 50MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Video tops out at 1080p@30fps rather than 4K, so this is a phone built more for longevity and everyday use than heavy content creation.
