Sony Xperia Tipo

Sony Xperia Tipo price in Malaysia starts from RM420, positioning it as a basic entry-level device rather than anything built for heavy multitasking. Under the hood sits an 800 MHz Cortex-A5 chip paired with just 512 MB RAM, running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. That's enough for calls, texts, and light browsing, but you won't be running much beyond the basics. The 3.2-inch TFT screen at 320 x 480 pixels keeps things simple too, with a pixel density around 180 ppi.

Camera-wise, there's a 3.15 MP rear shooter and no front camera at all, so selfies and video calls are off the table. The 1500 mAh battery matches the phone's modest specs and light 99.4 g weight, and storage comes to 2.9 GB onboard with microSD support up to 32 GB if you need more room.

It does cover the essentials: Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, and a 3.5mm jack are all present, along with stereo FM radio. For a phone this size and price, it's built for basic use rather than anything demanding.
