Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2

Dual SIM support is the main draw here, paired with a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor and 768 MB RAM. That's a modest setup even by 2013 standards, so this is a phone built for calls, texts, and light browsing rather than heavy multitasking. Storage sits at 4 GB internally, but a microSD slot takes it up to 64 GB if you need more room for photos and files.

The 4.0-inch TFT screen runs at 480 x 800 pixels, giving a pixel density around 233 ppi; fine for everyday use, not sharp by today's benchmarks. Camera duties fall to a 5 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a basic VGA front camera for the occasional selfie or video call. It records video at 720p.

A 1500 mAh battery powers the whole package, and the phone runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box. Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 price in Malaysia starts from RM560, and it comes in White or Black. Wi-Fi, GPS with GLONASS, and Bluetooth 4.0 round out the connectivity options.
