Sony Xperia Tipo Dual price in Malaysia starts from RM420, putting it firmly in budget territory. Inside is an 800 MHz Cortex-A5 processor paired with just 512MB RAM, enough for basic calls, texts and light browsing but not much beyond that. The 3.2-inch TFT screen runs at 320 x 480 pixels, which works out to a modest 180ppi, so text and images won't look particularly sharp by today's standards.

Camera-wise, you get a 3.15MP rear shooter and no front camera at all, so selfies and video calls are off the table. The 1500mAh battery is small too, matching the phone's compact 99.4g weight. It does run Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, and there's microSD support up to 32GB if the 2.5GB usable storage runs out fast. Wi-Fi, GPS and HSPA data round out the connectivity, keeping things functional if not fast.
