Nokia Lumia 635

Running Windows Phone 8.1 instead of Android, the Lumia 635 sits in budget territory with a Snapdragon 400 chipset and just 512 MB of RAM. That's thin by today's standards, so multitasking and app support are limited compared to modern phones, but the 8 GB storage does stretch further thanks to microSD support up to 128 GB. The 4.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 480 x 854, enough for basic use though not sharp by current standards.

The 5 MP rear camera handles casual daytime shots and 720p video, but there's no front camera at all, so selfies and video calls are off the table. A 1830 mAh battery keeps things running, reasonable given the modest screen size and low-power chipset.

Nokia Lumia 635 price in Malaysia starts from RM619. It comes in five colour options: bright orange, bright green, bright yellow, white and black, which was part of its appeal when new.
