LG L40 D160

This is an entry-level Android handset from 2014, built around a dual-core Snapdragon 200 chipset paired with just 512 MB RAM. The 3.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at a modest 320 x 480 resolution, so don't expect sharp text or crisp video playback. Storage sits at 4 GB internally, though a microSD card slot lets you add up to 32 GB more.

Camera-wise, you get a single 3.15 MP rear shooter and no front camera at all, so selfies and video calls are off the table. The 1540 mAh battery is small by modern standards but matches the low-power hardware and tiny screen. LG L40 D160 price in Malaysia starts from RM440.

It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box, with basics like Wi-Fi, A-GPS, FM radio and a microUSB port covered. At 114g and 11.9mm thick, it's light and pocketable, available in White or Black. This is a phone for calls, texts and light browsing, not much else.
