This one's built around a dual-core NovaThor U8500 chipset clocked at 1 GHz, paired with a Mali-400 GPU and 768 MB RAM. It's not a performance phone by today's standards, but the 4.0-inch Super AMOLED screen at 480 x 800 still gives colours a punch that budget LCD panels of its era couldn't match. Storage comes in 8 GB or 16 GB variants, and there's a microSD slot if you need more room, up to 32 GB.

The rear camera sits at 5 MP with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 720p video, while the front 1.3 MP camera handles basic selfies and video calls. A 1500 mAh battery keeps things running, modest, but matched to the phone's low-power dual-core setup. It ships with Android Gingerbread, though it can be upgraded to Jelly Bean.

Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 price in Malaysia starts from RM850. It comes in Black or White, and connectivity covers Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, and optional NFC.
