This one's built for basic daily use rather than heavy multitasking. The Snapdragon 425 chipset with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage handles calls, messaging, and light apps fine, though you'll want that microSD slot (up to 256GB) since onboard space runs out fast. The 6.0-inch IPS LCD display with 720 x 1440 resolution and 18:9 ratio keeps things compact at 155.9 x 75.7 x 7.8mm, and the whole thing weighs just 150g.

Camera-wise, you get an 8MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, paired with a 5MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. The 3360 mAh battery is the standout here, more than enough to get through a full day on Android 8.1 Oreo with Funtouch OS on top. vivo Y71i price in Malaysia starts from RM599, and it comes in Black or Gold.

Dual SIM support, 4G LTE, and a 3.5mm jack with noise-cancelling mic round out the basics. It's not a phone for gaming or photography, but for straightforward everyday tasks on a tight budget, the specs line up with what you'd expect at this price point.
