Samsung Galaxy Music

This is an entry-level phone built around basics, not power. The 850 MHz Cortex-A9 chip and 512 MB RAM handle simple tasks only, and the 4 GB internal storage (expandable via microSD up to 32 GB) leaves little room for extras. Its 3.0-inch TFT screen runs at a modest 240 x 320 resolution, so don't expect sharp detail or smooth scrolling on anything graphics-heavy.

The Samsung Galaxy Music price in Malaysia starts from RM399, and the name gives away its focus: stereo speakers and a dedicated sound jack make it a decent pick for casual music listening. The 3.15 MP rear camera is basic and there's no front camera at all, so selfies and video calls are out.

A 1300 mAh battery keeps things light at 106.9 g, paired with Android 4.0.4 that's upgradable to Jelly Bean. It's a phone for calls, texts and tunes, nothing more.
