Motorola FIRE XT

Specs here are firmly entry-level, which lines up with the era: a Qualcomm MSM7227T-1 chipset clocked at 800 MHz, paired with Adreno 200 graphics and just 512 MB of RAM. That's enough to run Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread but not much else by modern standards. Storage sits at 512 MB internally, though a microSD slot takes that up to 32 GB if you add your own card. The 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen runs at 320 x 480 pixels, roughly 165 ppi, so text and images look soft rather than sharp.

Motorola FIRE XT price in Malaysia starts from RM699. On the camera side there's a 5 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a VGA front camera for basic video calls. Video capture tops out at 480p and 24fps.

A 1540 mAh Li-Ion battery powers the whole thing, which is modest even for a phone this size, at 84.3g and 12mm thick. Wifi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS with A-GPS, and Bluetooth 2.1 round out the connectivity, so it covers the basics without any surprises.
