ZTE Speed

ZTE Speed price in Malaysia starts from RM399, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 410 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 processor and Adreno 306 graphics, paired with just 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. That's enough for calls, texts, and light browsing, but you'll want the microSD slot (up to 32GB) since onboard space runs out fast. The 4.5-inch TFT screen runs at 540 x 960 pixels, which is fine for a phone this size but won't impress next to sharper displays.

On the camera front, there's a 5MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 2MP front camera for basic selfies. Features like HDR, panorama, and face detection are included, though don't expect flagship-level results. The 2000 mAh battery is on the smaller side, so heavy users will likely be topping up more than once a day. It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat and supports LTE, which was still a notable inclusion for a phone at this price point back in 2014.
