Huawei P8 Lite

This is an entry-level phone built around the Kirin 620 chipset, an octa-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, paired with 2GB RAM. Storage sits at 16GB internally, but there's a microSD slot that takes cards up to 128GB if you need more room for photos and apps. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, which works out to about 294 ppi, sharp enough for everyday use at this size.

The rear camera is a 13MP unit with autofocus and dual-LED flash, backed by a 5MP front camera capable of 720p video. Huawei P8 Lite price in Malaysia starts from RM699, which puts it firmly in budget territory. Battery capacity is 2200mAh, non-removable, and the phone runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with Huawei's Emotion 3.1 UI layered on top.

Dual SIM support, NFC, and GPS with GLONASS round out the connectivity, and at 131g with a 7.7mm profile, it's light and slim for its class. It comes in Black, White, and Gold.
