Running Windows Phone 8 rather than Android, the Lumia 820 stands apart from most phones in this price bracket. It's built on a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon chipset with 1GB RAM, enough for the OS at the time, paired with 8GB of onboard storage that can be stretched to 64GB via microSD. The 4.3-inch AMOLED screen runs at 480 x 800, modest by today's standards but decent for a compact windows handset.

The camera setup is where Nokia put real effort: an 8MP rear sensor with Carl Zeiss optics and dual-LED flash, capable of 1080p video with stabilization. There's also NFC and LTE support, both ahead of the curve for a phone launched back in November 2012. A 1650 mAh battery keeps things running, and at 160g with a 9.9mm profile, it's easy to handle. Nokia Lumia 820 price in Malaysia starts from RM398, and it comes in seven colour options including Black, Red, and Yellow.
