Samsung Galaxy A72 price in Malaysia starts from RM1599, and for that you get a Snapdragon 720G chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, enough headroom for most people's app libraries and photo collections. The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel runs at 90Hz with 800 nits peak brightness, so scrolling feels smoother than the usual 60Hz mid-ranger and outdoor visibility holds up well.

The quad camera setup is the bigger draw here. A 64MP main sensor with OIS anchors the array, backed by an 8MP telephoto lens that also has OIS and offers 3x optical zoom, a rarity at this price. There's a 12MP ultrawide and a 5MP macro rounding things out, plus a 32MP selfie camera up front.

Battery capacity sits at 5000mAh with 25W fast charging, and Samsung's added IP67 water and dust resistance, something you don't often see below the RM2000 mark. It runs Android 11 with One UI 3.1 out of the box, and the under-display fingerprint sensor handles unlocking duties.
