Samsung S5750 Wave575

This is a compact touchscreen phone built for basic use rather than heavy multitasking. The Samsung S5750 Wave575 price in Malaysia starts from RM558, putting it firmly in budget territory. It runs bada OS on a 3.2-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with a 240 x 400 pixel resolution, showing 256K colors. Internal storage is limited to 100 MB, so you'll want a microSD card (up to 16 GB) if you plan to store photos or music.

Camera-wise, there's a single 3.15 MP rear shooter and no front camera, so it's not built for selfies or video calls. It still covers the basics well: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot support, GPS with A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, and a stereo FM radio with RDS.

Battery capacity sits at 1200 mAh, modest by today's standards but reasonable for a phone with a small display and no demanding apps. At 100 g and 11.9 mm thick, it's light and pocketable, though its dated OS and specs mean it suits light callers and texters rather than anyone needing apps or fast browsing.
