MediaTek Helio P18Chipset 32 GB, 3 RAM or 16 GB, 2 GB RAMRAM & Storage 16 MP, PDAFRear Camera Non-removable Li-Ion 2970 mAh batteryBattery

Running on a MediaTek Helio P18 octa-core chipset paired with a Mali-T860MP2 GPU, this one sits in budget territory rather than flagship. You get either 32GB storage with 3GB RAM or a lighter 16GB/2GB configuration, and there's a dedicated microSD slot if you need more room, up to 256GB. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD display runs at 1080 x 2160 with 439 ppi, sharp enough for everyday use, wrapped in an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Camera-wise, it's a 16MP rear shooter with PDAF for faster focus, plus an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The 2970 mAh battery isn't huge by today's standards, but it's paired with Android One, which means cleaner software and a smoother upgrade path from Oreo to Pie. Nokia 5.1 price in Malaysia starts from RM719, and it comes in Copper, Tempered Blue, or Black.

Other inclusions worth noting: NFC, a rear fingerprint sensor, dual-band Wi-Fi, and LTE Cat4 support for data speeds up to 150 Mbps down.
