Samsung Galaxy M02

Basic hardware defines this one. The Mediatek MT6739W chipset paired with just 2GB RAM and 32GB storage means the Galaxy M02 handles calls, messaging and light browsing fine, but multitasking or heavier apps will show its limits. There's a microSDXC slot if 32GB runs out fast, which it likely will.

The 6.5-inch PLS IPS display runs at HD+ resolution (720 x 1600), so it's serviceable for everyday use without much sharpness for video or photos. Samsung Galaxy M02 price in Malaysia starts from RM379, positioning it as a bare-essentials device rather than anything built for demanding use.

Camera-wise you get a 13MP main lens with a 2MP macro sensor on the back, and a 5MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. Where it does stand out is battery: a 5000 mAh cell should comfortably last a full day or more on light use. No NFC here, and charging is still via microUSB rather than USB-C, both worth noting if those matter to you.
