Mediatek MT6761 Helio A22 (12 nm)Chipset 64GB, 3GB RAMRAM & Storage 13 MP, f/1.8, PDAFRear Camera Li-Po 3020 mAh, non-removable batteryBattery

Honor 8S 2020 price in Malaysia starts from RM269, putting it firmly in budget territory. Inside is a Mediatek Helio A22 chipset paired with just 3GB RAM and 64GB storage, enough for basic calls, messaging and light browsing but not much multitasking. The 5.71-inch IPS LCD screen keeps things compact at 720 x 1520 resolution, a small panel by today's standards but easy to handle one-handed at 146g.

Camera duties fall to a single 13MP rear shooter with PDAF and an f/1.8 aperture, joined by a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. There's no ultrawide or macro lens here, so this is a phone built for straightforward point-and-shoot use rather than versatility.

Battery capacity sits at 3020 mAh, modest but matched to the low-power chipset and small display. It ships with Android 9.0 Pie under EMUI 9, along with a microUSB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack, features increasingly rare on newer budget phones. It's available in Navy Blue, Midnight Black and Green.
