64 MB RAMRAM & Storage 2 MP, 1600 x 1200 pixelsRear Camera Li-Ion 1200 mAh battery (BL-4U)Battery 240 x 320 pixels, 2.8 inches (~143 ppi pixel density)Display size

This one's built for basics: calls, texts, and a second SIM slot for anyone juggling two numbers on one device. The 2.8-inch touchscreen runs at 240 x 320 pixels, which is modest even by feature phone standards, and the Nokia Asha software platform 1.1.1 keeps things simple rather than app-heavy. With just 64 MB RAM onboard, you'll want to lean on the microSD slot, which supports up to 32 GB and comes with a 4 GB card in the box.

Camera-wise, there's a 2 MP rear shooter capable of 320p video and no front camera at all, so this isn't a phone for selfies or detailed shots. Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n is included for basic browsing, and the 1200 mAh battery should comfortably outlast a typical smartphone on standby given the low-power hardware.

Nokia Asha 500 Dual SIM price in Malaysia starts from RM210. It comes in six colours, including Bright Red, Cyan, and Yellow, and at 101.3g it's light enough to carry as a backup phone alongside a primary smartphone.
