ZTE Blade S6 Plus

ZTE Blade S6 Plus price in Malaysia starts from RM420, positioning it as a budget option with a Snapdragon 615 chipset under the hood. That's an octa-core setup, four cores at 1.7GHz paired with four at 1.0GHz, running alongside an Adreno 405 GPU. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, which works out to around 267 ppi, decent enough for everyday browsing and video though not sharp by today's standards.

On the camera side you get a 13MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Storage sits at 16GB with 2GB RAM, and there's a microSD slot if you need more room, up to 64GB extra.

A 3000mAh battery keeps things running, and dual SIM support with LTE Cat4 means you're covered for data speeds too. It shipped with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and ZTE's MiFavor 3.0 UI on top, and at 139.3g and 7.7mm thick, it's light enough to carry without much fuss.
