Samsung Galaxy A15

Samsung Galaxy A15 price in Malaysia starts from RM739, putting it in the budget bracket with specs that punch a bit above that price. The Helio G99 chipset runs on a 6nm process and pairs with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, enough headroom for most people to skip a microSD card, though the slot's there if you need it. The 6.4-inch PLS LCD screen runs at 90Hz, which makes scrolling noticeably smoother than the 60Hz panels common at this price.

The rear setup leads with a 50MP main sensor with PDAF, backed by a 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. It won't rival flagship cameras, but for daylight shots and casual use it covers the basics. Selfies come from a 13MP front camera capped at 1080p video, same as the rear.

Battery capacity sits at 5000 mAh, which should comfortably get most users through a full day, though 15W wired charging means top-ups take a while. Round it out with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC, and a 3.5mm jack, and you've got a phone that covers the essentials without cutting every corner.
