Samsung Galaxy W
RM 199.00
Price last checked: 11 Oct 2015. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy W price in Malaysia starts from RM199, putting it firmly in budget territory even by 2014 standards. The 7.0-inch TFT screen is the standout here, a phablet-sized display running at 720 x 1280 with a modest 210 ppi. Under the hood, a quad-core 1.2 GHz chip pairs with 1.5 GB RAM and 16 GB storage, expandable up to 64 GB via microSD if you need more room.
Camera-wise, you're getting an 8 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 2 MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. The 3200 mAh battery is generous for the hardware it's driving, which should help it last through a full day of use.
It ships with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and covers the basics: Wi-Fi, NFC, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, and both HSPA and LTE-A data. At 245g and 8.8mm thick, it's not a light phone, but the large screen and battery explain the heft. Colour options are black, white, or red.
