Motorola Moto E

This is a budget handset built around a Snapdragon 200 chipset, dual-core at 1.2GHz, paired with just 1GB of RAM. That's enough for basic tasks like calls, texts, and light browsing, but don't expect it to handle much multitasking. Storage is tight too, at 4GB internally, though a microSD card slot lets you add up to 32GB more. The 4.3-inch touchscreen keeps things compact and easy to hold at 142g.

Motorola Moto E price in Malaysia starts from RM478, putting it firmly in entry-level territory. The 5MP rear camera handles basic shots with geo-tagging, panorama, and HDR features, though there's no front camera for selfies or video calls. A 1980mAh battery powers the device, and dual SIM support means you can juggle two lines on one phone.

It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box, with a planned upgrade path to Lollipop. Connectivity covers the basics: Wi-Fi, GPS with GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.0, and HSPA data speeds up to 21.1 Mbps. It comes in Black or White.
