This one's less phone, more portable TV. Samsung Galaxy View price in Malaysia starts from RM5249, and what you get for that is an 18.4-inch TFT display, easily the largest screen in Samsung's lineup at the time. It runs on an Exynos 7580 chipset with 2GB RAM, which is fine for video playback and casual browsing but not built for heavy multitasking. Storage comes in 32GB or 64GB variants, with microSD support up to 128GB if you need more room for downloaded shows.

There's no front camera here, and the rear camera is a basic 2.1MP unit, so this isn't a device for photos or video calls. What it does have is stereo speakers and a sound jack, useful given its purpose as a shared screen for a household. The 5700mAh battery is sizeable, and at 2.65kg with a kickstand-style design, it's meant to sit on a table or lap rather than be carried around like a tablet.

Android 5.1 Lollipop runs the show, and connectivity covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and LTE Cat6 for streaming without needing a fixed internet line nearby.
