I'm very out of touch with the smartphones these days - so many brands with their countless models and variants.

Am looking for a secondary phone, mainly for one thing - Maybank's MAE APP. Have 2 accounts and they are not interlinked, so I need a second phone to register the MAE's secure thinga-majig.

1. Brand: Preferably on the Android spectrum (using Samsung atm)
2. Budget: I'd figure something around (or below) RM 1,000 oughta fit the bill
3. Specs: MAE app. Yes. Also pokemonGO laugh.gif
4. Type/Size: fitting enough to be operated one-handed
5. Condition: At least launched not more than, what - 2-3 years ago? (worried the model if too old - will stop getting updates and then become redundant/irrelevant)

It is very hard to get small phone nowadays.

Check out the Samsung A series.

Thanks for that - the A14(LTE)@799.- and A14 5G@949.- has a RM 150 difference - thoughts if I should "future-proof" by going with 5G? rclxub.gif

Not sure if 5G will be better since you play pokemon go, otherwise both is ok for normal use.

If possible I would recommend A24 because it has 5 years of security updates, 4 times Android OS updates. this way you can use it longer for bank app.

Update policy of A14 5G is 4 years of security updates, 2 times Android OS updates.
