A Snapdragon 400 chipset and Adreno 305 GPU handle basic tasks here, paired with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB of onboard storage. That storage is tight by today's standards, but a microSD slot lets you add up to 32 GB more. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, which works out to roughly 267 ppi, decent enough for a phone in this class.

On the back sits an 8 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash, while the front camera is a modest 1.6 MP shooter suited for basic video calls rather than selfies. A 2500 mAh battery keeps things running, and dual SIM support with LTE Cat3 means you can stay connected on two lines while still getting reasonably fast data speeds.

Lenovo S856 price in Malaysia starts from RM429. It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box and comes only in Silver, weighing in at 175g with a 9mm profile.
