This one's firmly a budget pick from 2015, running an Intel Atom Z2560 dual-core chipset paired with 2GB RAM. It's enough for basic Android tasks but don't expect it to handle much multitasking. Storage comes in 8GB or 16GB variants, with microSD support up to 64GB if you need more room for photos and apps.

The 5.0-inch IPS display runs at 720x1280 resolution, working out to about 294 ppi, decent enough for everyday viewing. Camera duties fall to an 8MP rear sensor with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 2MP front camera for basic selfies. Asus Zenfone 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM469, and it packs a 2110mAh battery that should get you through a day of light use.

It ships with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, upgradable to Lollipop, and comes in Charcoal Black, Pearl White or Cherry Red.
