Realme C11

Realme C11 price in Malaysia starts from RM218, putting it firmly in budget territory. The Helio G35 chipset and 3GB or 2GB RAM options won't handle heavy multitasking or demanding games, but for calls, messaging and browsing, it gets the job done. The 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1560 resolution, which is standard for this price bracket rather than sharp by modern standards.

On the back you get a 13MP main camera paired with a 2MP depth sensor, useful for basic photos and portrait shots with blurred backgrounds. There's a Super Nightscape mode for low-light shots too, though don't expect flagship-level results.

Battery life is where this phone earns its keep: a 5000 mAh cell should comfortably last a full day of typical use, even if the 10W charging speed means topping up takes a while. It runs Android 10 with Realme UI 1.0, and comes in Mint Green or Pepper Grey.
