Oppo Neo 5

Oppo Neo 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM398, putting it firmly in budget territory. Inside is a Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 processor and Adreno 305 graphics, paired with just 1GB RAM and 4GB internal storage. That's tight by modern standards, though a microSD slot lets you add up to 32GB more. The 4.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Oppo's Color OS v1.4 layered on top.

Camera-wise, you're getting a 5MP rear shooter with LED flash and a 2MP front camera, enough for casual snapshots but nothing more. HDR, panorama and geo-tagging are on board as basic extras. The 1900 mAh battery is modest, matching the phone's compact 132.5g build. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and LTE Cat4, so data speeds aren't the bottleneck here, the hardware underneath is.
