Microsoft Lumia 950

Snapdragon 808 sits under the hood here, paired with 3GB RAM, which was mid-to-upper tier when this launched. The 5.2-inch AMOLED screen runs at 1440 x 2560 pixels, working out to roughly 564 ppi, sharp enough that text and photos look crisp even up close. It's running Windows 10 rather than Android, which matters if you're tied to specific apps or just prefer Microsoft's ecosystem.

The 20MP rear camera uses Carl Zeiss optics with optical image stabilization, a combination you don't often see at this price point, and it can shoot 4K video too. Battery capacity is 3000 mAh, and there's an iris scanner for unlocking instead of a fingerprint sensor. Storage starts at 32GB but you can add a microSD card up to 200GB if that's not enough. Microsoft Lumia 950 price in Malaysia starts from RM950, and it comes in Black or White.
