Lenovo A6000

Lenovo A6000 price in Malaysia starts from RM699, putting it firmly in budget territory. Inside is a Snapdragon 410 chipset, a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 setup paired with Adreno 306 graphics and just 1 GB of RAM. That's enough for basic apps and browsing but not much multitasking. Storage is 8 GB out of the box, though a microSD slot lets you add up to 32 GB more. The 5.0-inch IPS screen runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, sharp enough for everyday use without straining the budget.

The 8 MP rear camera comes with autofocus and LED flash, while a 2 MP front camera handles basic selfies. A 2300 mAh battery keeps things running, and dual SIM support with LTE Cat4 means you get decent data speeds despite the low price. Dual speakers and a Dolby Digital Plus audio jack round out the entertainment side.

Running Android 4.4.4 KitKat, the A6000 is dated by today's standards but was built as an affordable daily driver when it launched in January 2015. It only comes in Black.
