1. OPPO Find 7, if you still can find it selling, RM998, 5.5".
2. Oneplus One, need top up more on RM1K, 5.5".
3. Huawei Honor 6, if you still can find it selling, RM899, but is 5" screen.
4. ASUS Padfone S, 5" screen, 64GB, 3GB RAM, but battery is too small, poor battery life.
5. Xiaomi Mi4, 5" screen, but this one doesn't has 4G, and only comes in 16GB storage, no Micro SD, personally not recommended, even the performance is good. RM899.

6. Lower end, you get Meizu M2 Note at RM699, 5.5" screen.

AP Set below RM1K, you can get Xiaomi Mi4c, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.
As they are AP set, don't know if the network support for Malaysia 4G, and don't know if the set comes with Google Play store. (Most China set don't installed with Google Play)

I think he just missed out the most hottest phone right now. The Honor 7 RRP1399.

10. Meizu MX4 Pro (RM1399)

At around RM1K, there is also Meizu MX4, 32GB (RM999)storage version.
Lesser known model would be the Lenovo Vibe X2 (RM799).

At super budget, ASUS Padfone S 16GB version and Lenovo Vibe Z now selling at RM599.

Because you could have gotten something better at this price point. But this one was okay, so you should at least keep an eye on it.
