Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016)
RM 699.00
Price last checked: 6 Jan 2018. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) price in Malaysia starts from RM699, putting it firmly in entry-level territory. Inside is an Exynos 3475 quad-core chipset paired with just 1GB of RAM and 8GB storage, though a dedicated microSD slot lets you push storage up to 128GB. The 4.5-inch Super AMOLED screen is a nice touch at this price point, even if the 480 x 800 resolution keeps things modest.
Camera-wise, you get a 5MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 2MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. Neither will impress anyone used to modern multi-lens setups, but they cover the basics. The removable 2050mAh battery keeps the phone light at 131g and easy to service down the line.
It ships with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, dual SIM support, and LTE connectivity, so calls, texts and light browsing are handled fine. This is a phone built for simplicity rather than speed, and it shows in every spec sheet line.
