Honor 4 Play

This is a budget-tier device built around the Snapdragon 410 chipset, a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 setup paired with an Adreno 306 GPU and just 1 GB RAM. That's entry-level hardware even by 2014 standards, so expect basic multitasking rather than anything demanding. Storage sits at 8 GB, but a microSD slot lets you add up to 32 GB more, which helps given how tight the internal space is. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen keeps things compact at 143 x 72 x 8.5 mm and 160 g.

The 8 MP rear camera with autofocus and LED flash handles daylight shots fine, while the 2 MP front camera covers basic selfies and video calls. A 2000 mAh battery powers it all, non-removable but reasonable for a phone this size. You also get dual-SIM support, NFC, GPS with A-GPS, and both HSPA and LTE data speeds, which is a decent spread of connectivity for the price bracket.

Honor 4 Play price in Malaysia starts from RM513, running Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Emotion UI 2.3 layered on top, and it comes in White or Black.
