Motorola Moto E

This is a budget handset built for basic daily use rather than heavy multitasking. Depending on the variant you get, it's running either a Snapdragon 200 or Snapdragon 410 chipset paired with just 1GB of RAM, so you're looking at a phone for calls, messaging and light browsing rather than gaming. The 4.5-inch IPS LCD screen keeps things compact, and 8GB of onboard storage is thin by today's standards, though the microSD slot lets you add up to 32GB more.

Camera-wise, there's a 5MP rear shooter with autofocus and a VGA front camera, enough for casual snapshots but nothing more. The 2390mAh battery suits the low-power hardware and modest screen size, and it runs Android 5.0 Lollipop, upgradable to 5.1 on the LTE model. Motorola Moto E price in Malaysia starts from RM362, positioning it firmly as an entry-level option for anyone comparing older budget devices rather than current flagships.

It comes in Black or White, with a lightweight 145g body that's easy to handle. For a phone this old, it's really only worth considering if you find it at a steep discount against newer budget models.
