Snapdragon 410 handles the workload here, a quad-core 1.2 GHz chip paired with 1.5 GB RAM and Adreno 306 graphics. It's an entry-level setup, but it comes with LTE support, so you're not stuck on 3G. The 5.25-inch IPS LCD screen is a reasonable size for one-handed use, and 16 GB storage stretches further thanks to microSD support up to 64 GB.
On the back sits a 13 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash, capable of catching detail in decent light, while the 5 MP front camera handles 1080p video for anyone who records selfie clips. Samsung Galaxy Grand Max price in Malaysia starts from RM1088, putting it in budget territory.
Battery capacity is 2500 mAh, modest by today's standards but matched to a light 161g frame that's only 7.9mm thick. It ships running Android 4.4.4 KitKat, and buyers get a choice of Black or White.
