Sony Xperia Z2

Sony Xperia Z2 price in Malaysia starts from RM219, putting a 2014-era flagship within reach for anyone after a backup phone or a curiosity buy. Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 801 chipset with Adreno 330 graphics and 3GB RAM, paired with 16GB storage that expands up to 128GB via microSD. The 5.2-inch IPS LCD display runs at full HD resolution with a sharp 424 ppi density, and the whole thing is IP58 rated, so dust and short water dips won't kill it.

The headline feature is the 20.7MP rear camera, capable of 4K video at 30fps and slow-motion 720p at 120fps, unusual specs for a phone this old. A 3200mAh battery backs it up, non-removable but sizeable for its time. Connectivity covers NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, GLONASS-assisted GPS and LTE Cat4, though it ships on Android 4.4.2 KitKat with only a Lollipop update planned, so app compatibility today will be limited.
