Samsung W
RM 259.00
Price last checked: 23 Jan 2015. Confirm current price before buying.
A 7-inch display puts the Samsung W closer to tablet territory than typical phones of its time, running at 720 x 1280 resolution on a TFT panel. Under the hood it's a quad-core 1.2GHz chip paired with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB storage, with microSD support up to 64GB for extra room. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean runs the show, dated by today's standards but functional for basic use.
The 8MP rear camera comes with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 1080p video, while a 2MP front camera handles selfies and calls. A 3200mAh battery backs it all up, sizable given the era and screen size. Samsung W price in Malaysia starts from RM259, and it comes in black, white or red.
Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, GPS, NFC and LTE-A, plus a micro-SIM slot and microUSB port for charging and data. At 245g and 8.8mm thick, it's a substantial device built around that oversized display rather than pocket convenience.
