Oppo Joy Plus

Oppo Joy Plus price in Malaysia starts from RM368, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood is a Mediatek MT6572 dual-core chipset clocked at 1.3GHz paired with just 1GB RAM, so this is a phone built for basic calls, texts and light browsing rather than multitasking or gaming. The 4.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 480 x 800 pixels, and with only 4GB of internal storage, you'll want that microSD slot (up to 32GB) for anything beyond a handful of apps.

Camera-wise it's modest: a 3.15MP rear shooter with LED flash and a VGA front camera, fine for casual snapshots but not much else. The 1700mAh battery is on the small side too, so expect to charge often with regular use. It ships with Android 4.4 KitKat under Oppo's ColorOS 2.0, and comes in White or Blue, with dual SIM support for those juggling two numbers on one device.
