Oppo A77 5G

Dimensity 810 handles the everyday stuff fine, and with 6GB RAM extendable to 11GB via virtual memory plus 128GB storage, you won't be juggling apps constantly. The 6.56-inch IPS LCD runs at 90Hz, which makes scrolling feel noticeably smoother than the standard 60Hz panels you'll find at this price point. Oppo A77 5G price in Malaysia starts from RM1150, putting it in budget 5G territory.

Battery life is where this phone earns its keep. A 5000mAh cell paired with 33W fast charging means you're not stuck waiting hours to top up, Oppo claims 53% in 30 minutes. The 48MP main camera with PDAF handles daylight shots decently, though the 2MP depth sensor is just there for portrait blur, don't expect much from it in low light.

NFC support means you can use it for contactless payments, and IPX4 rating gives some peace of mind against splashes. It's not a flagship, but for RM1150 you're getting 5G, a big battery, and a display that doesn't feel sluggish.
