Huawei Ascend G620s

Huawei Ascend G620s price in Malaysia starts from RM539, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 410 chipset, a quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A53 setup paired with Adreno 306 graphics and just 1GB of RAM. That's enough for basic Android tasks on KitKat, but you won't want to run much side by side. Storage is limited too at 8GB, though a microSD slot lets you add up to 32GB more.

The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, giving a pixel density around 294 ppi, decent enough for everyday viewing at this price point.

Camera-wise, there's an 8MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 2MP front camera for basic selfies. A 2000mAh battery keeps things running, and you still get NFC and LTE Cat4 support, features that weren't always guaranteed on phones this cheap back in 2014.
