This is old hardware by any current measure, but it's worth knowing what you're getting for the money. The Apple A5 chipset pairs with just 512 MB RAM, enough for iOS 5 at launch but a clear ceiling if you're expecting anything modern. The 3.5-inch display runs at 640 x 960 with 330 ppi, sharp for its size even if the screen itself feels tiny next to today's phones.

The 8 MP rear camera with autofocus and LED flash was solid for 2011 and still handles daylight shots decently, plus it shoots 1080p video. Battery capacity sits at 1432 mAh, modest but matched to a low-power chip and small screen. Storage tops out at 64 GB with no card slot, so pick your tier upfront since you can't add more later.

iPhone 4S price in Malaysia starts from RM499. It comes in Black or White, and software support caps at iOS 7.1.2, so app compatibility going forward is limited.
