Oppo A5i

Oppo A5i price in Malaysia starts from RM399, placing it firmly in budget territory. The Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen1 chipset with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage handles everyday tasks without much fuss, and there's OTG support if you need to plug in extra storage. The 6.67-inch display runs at HD+ resolution rather than Full HD, which is typical at this price point, and it's protected by twice-reinforced glass.

Durability is where this phone tries to stand out. It carries an IP54 rating alongside Military-Grade Shock Resistance, so accidental splashes or drops won't be as much of a worry.

Camera-wise, you're getting a single 8MP rear shooter and a 5MP front camera, both capped at 1080p video. Nothing fancy, but functional for casual shots. Battery life should hold up well too, with a 5100mAh cell and 45W SUPERVOOC charging that gets you topped up quickly. Android 15 with ColorOS 15 runs the show, and it comes in Nebula Red or Starry Purple.
