A Helio P35 chipset runs things here, paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage that you can stretch further with a microSD card up to 256GB, though that shares the second SIM slot. It's not a speed demon but it's enough for everyday apps and browsing. The 5.84-inch IPS LCD panel packs a sharp 432 ppi density into a compact, light 150g body, so text and images stay crisp despite the smaller screen size.
On the back, a dual camera setup pairs a 12MP main sensor with a depth sensor for portrait shots, while the 8MP front camera handles selfies. Xiaomi Mi Play price in Malaysia starts from RM525, which fits its mid-2018 positioning as a compact, no-frills Android phone.
Battery capacity sits at 3000mAh, modest by today's standards, and the phone ships with Android 9.0 Pie under MIUI. Connectivity covers dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, and LTE, plus a rear fingerprint sensor for unlocking.
