HTC Desire 601 Dual Sim

Snapdragon 400 handles the workload here, a quad-core chip clocked at 1.2 GHz paired with just 1 GB of RAM. That's modest even for its time, so don't expect much multitasking headroom. Storage is tight too at 4 GB internal, though a microSD slot takes cards up to 64 GB if you need more room for photos and apps. The 4.5-inch TFT screen runs at 540 x 960, which lands around 245 ppi, decent enough for everyday use but not sharp by later standards.

HTC Desire 601 Dual Sim price in Malaysia starts from RM1100. The 5 MP rear camera comes with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 1080p video at 30fps, while the front camera is a basic VGA unit for the occasional selfie or video call. Battery capacity sits at 2100 mAh, paired with a body that weighs 130g and measures 9.9mm thick.

Dual SIM support and expandable storage make this a practical pick for anyone wanting two lines in one device without paying a premium. It runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, and comes in Black, Red or White.
