Samsung Galaxy J1
RM 268.00
Price last checked: 30 Nov 2016. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy J1 price in Malaysia starts from RM268, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 chipset paired with a Mali-400 GPU and just 512 MB of RAM, so this is a phone built for basic calls, texts and light browsing rather than multitasking. The 4.3-inch TFT display is compact by today's standards, and Android 4.4.4 KitKat runs the show.
Storage is limited at 4 GB, but a microSD slot lets you add up to 128 GB if you need more room for photos or apps. Camera duties fall to a 5 MP rear sensor with LED flash and autofocus, plus a 2 MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls.
The 1850 mAh battery is modest, matching the phone's low-power hardware. Dual SIM support, FM radio and a 3.5mm jack round out a spec sheet aimed squarely at first-time smartphone buyers or those wanting a simple secondary device.
