Lenovo A7000

Dual SIM support and LTE Cat4 connectivity make the A7000 a practical pick for anyone wanting a budget phone that still handles daily data use without much fuss. Inside, Lenovo paired an octa-core Mediatek MT6752m chipset with 2GB of RAM, enough for basic multitasking on Android 5.0 Lollipop. The 5.5-inch IPS display runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, giving a pixel density of around 267 ppi, decent for the price bracket at launch.

Storage sits at 8GB internally, but there's a microSD slot for expansion up to 32GB, useful given how quickly apps and photos eat into that base capacity. The 8MP rear camera comes with autofocus and LED flash, while the 5MP front camera covers basic selfie needs. A 2900 mAh battery keeps things running, and Lenovo A7000 price in Malaysia starts from RM565.

At 140g and just 8mm thick, it's light enough for daily carry. It comes in Onyx Black and Pearl White, and for shoppers comparing older budget models, the spec sheet gives a clear sense of what you're getting for the money.
