Meizu m3

Budget hardware defines this one. The Mediatek MT6750 chipset paired with a Mali-T860MP2 GPU handles basic tasks and light apps fine, though it's not built for demanding games. You get a choice of 16GB storage with 2GB RAM or 32GB with 3GB RAM, and either way there's a microSD slot for up to 256GB more if you need it. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, which comes out to about 294 ppi, sharp enough for everyday use at this size.

Meizu m3 price in Malaysia starts from RM190, putting it firmly in entry-level territory. The 13MP rear camera has phase detection autofocus and dual-LED flash, decent for a phone in this bracket, while the front camera sits at 5MP for basic selfies and video calls.

Battery capacity is 2870 mAh, non-removable, which should get most users through a day of moderate use. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop with Meizu's Flyme 5.1 skin on top, and at 132g with an 8.3mm profile, it's light and easy to carry.
