Sony Xperia M price in Malaysia starts from RM489, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood is a dual-core 1 GHz Krait processor paired with just 1 GB RAM, backed by the Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8227 chipset and Adreno 305 graphics. That's enough for basic Android tasks but not much beyond it. Storage is tight at 4 GB, though a microSD slot lets you add up to 32 GB more. The 4.0-inch TFT screen runs at 480 x 854 pixels, which is on the low side for sharpness.

The camera setup is modest too: a 5 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus HDR and panorama modes, alongside a VGA front camera for basic selfies and video calls. Video tops out at 720p.

Battery capacity sits at 1750 mAh, which was typical for a compact phone of its time. Sony still included NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, GPS and a microUSB port with USB On-the-go, giving it more connectivity options than you'd expect at this price. It comes in Black, White, Purple and Yellow, with the Yellow variant limited to the single SIM model.
