Samsung C3520

Basic is the word here. Samsung C3520 price in Malaysia starts from RM266, putting it firmly in feature phone territory rather than smartphone. Storage sits at just 28 MB internally, though a microSD card up to 16 GB stretches that for photos and music. The 2.4-inch TFT screen runs at 240 x 320 pixels, fine for menus and texts but nothing more.

The 1.3 MP rear camera handles basic snapshots with autofocus, and there's no front camera at all, so this isn't a phone for selfies. Video capture tops out at QVGA. There's no Wifi, no GPS, and no data speed listed, meaning this stays offline outside calls and texts.

What it does have is stamina and simplicity. The 800 mAh battery, paired with a low-power display and no data radios draining it, should last through basic use across days. Stereo FM radio with RDS and recording adds a bit of entertainment, and it comes in four colours including Coral Pink and La Fleur for those who want something less plain.
