Nokia 3

Nokia 3 price in Malaysia starts from RM349, putting it firmly in budget territory. Inside is a Mediatek MT6737 chipset paired with a quad-core 1.4 GHz processor and just 2GB RAM, enough for basic apps and calls but not much multitasking. Storage sits at 16GB, though a microSD card up to 256GB stretches that considerably. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, giving a pixel density of around 294 ppi, decent for everyday reading and browsing.

Both the rear and front cameras use 8MP sensors with f/2.0 apertures and autofocus, a fairly balanced setup for a phone at this price. The 2650mAh battery is modest by today's standards but matches the phone's low-power internals. It ships with Android 7.0 Nougat, NFC, GPS and support for both 3G and 4G LTE networks, plus the option of single or dual SIM depending on the variant you find.
