A Snapdragon 400 chipset with Adreno 305 graphics handles the everyday stuff here, paired with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage that stretches to 64 GB with a microSD card. The 5.0-inch display runs at full HD resolution, working out to roughly 441 ppi, which is sharp for its class. It's a slim build too, just 6.6mm thick and 130g, running Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box.

Camera-wise you get an 8 MP rear shooter with autofocus and dual-LED flash, plus a 5 MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The 2300 mAh battery is non-removable, sized to match the phone's compact frame rather than aiming for marathon runtime. ZTE Star 1 price in Malaysia starts from RM599.

Connectivity covers HSPA and LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS with A-GPS support, so it's reasonably equipped for a phone at this price point. It comes in Pink, Black, and White.
