HTC Desire 628

HTC Desire 628 price in Malaysia starts from RM909, putting it in budget territory alongside other mid-2016 releases. Under the hood sits a Mediatek MT6753 octa-core chipset clocked at 1.3GHz, paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage that can be expanded via microSD up to 256GB. That's enough for basic apps and casual use, though it won't handle demanding tasks smoothly.

The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, giving a pixel density of around 294 ppi, sharp enough for everyday reading and browsing. For photos, there's a 13MP rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and HDR support, plus a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

A 2200mAh battery keeps things running, though users doing heavy media playback or gaming may find themselves reaching for a charger by evening. It ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop layered with HTC Sense 7, and supports dual SIM, 4G LTE and Wi-Fi hotspot functionality for everyday connectivity.
