Huawei Y5II

Huawei Y5II price in Malaysia starts from RM428, putting it firmly in budget territory. Inside you get a quad-core Mediatek chipset, either the MT6735P for the 4G version or the MT6582 for 3G, paired with just 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. That's tight by today's standards, though a microSD slot lets you add up to 32GB more. The 5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, which works out to around 294ppi, sharp enough for everyday reading and browsing.

Camera-wise, there's an 8MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 2MP front camera for basic selfies. A 2200mAh removable battery handles power duties, and the phone ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop layered with Huawei's Emotion UI 3.1.

Dual SIM support, 4G LTE data, Wi-Fi and GPS round out the connectivity side. At 135g and 8.9mm thick, it's light enough to carry without much notice, and it comes in five colour options including Obsidian Black and Sky Blue.
