Honor 9S

Honor 9S price in Malaysia starts from RM329, putting it firmly in budget territory. The Helio P22 chipset and 2GB of RAM handle basic tasks like calls, texts, and light browsing, but this isn't a phone for multitasking or heavier apps. Storage is capped at 32GB, though a dedicated microSD slot lets you add more. The 5.45-inch display runs at 720 x 1440 resolution, small by current standards but fine for simple use.

Camera-wise, you get a single 8MP rear shooter with autofocus and a 5MP front camera, both capped at 1080p video. Nothing fancy, but workable for casual shots. The 3020 mAh battery pairs with a lightweight 144g body to keep things portable.

One thing to flag: it runs Android 10 with Magic UI 3.1 but has no Google Play Services, which means no Play Store access out of the box. That's worth checking before you commit, especially if you rely on Google apps daily.
