Nokia Lumia 525

This is a budget Windows Phone handset from Nokia's early 2014 lineup, built around a dual-core 1 GHz Qualcomm MSM8227 chipset paired with 1 GB RAM. That's enough for basic multitasking on Windows Phone 8, which can be upgraded to 8.1, but don't expect it to handle much beyond calls, texts and light browsing. The 4.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 480 x 800 pixels, giving a pixel density of around 233 ppi, fine for a phone this size and price bracket.

Storage sits at 8 GB out of the box, though a microSD card gets you up to 64 GB more if you need it. The 5 MP rear camera handles casual snapshots with autofocus support, but there's no front camera for selfies or video calls. Battery capacity is 1430 mAh, modest by today's standards but reasonable for a device with this screen size and hardware. Nokia Lumia 525 price in Malaysia starts from RM279, and it comes in Black, White, Yellow and Red.
