How much would this be and where would one buy this in Malaysia?

I need a cheap backup phone for my wife. Basically all it needs to do is Facebook and Whatsapp. Don't care about anything else. Decent battery would be a plus.

Hmm, browsing around, I can't actually find this at RM299. Seems places like Lazada are selling it at RM399.

5) Side note: My phone internal GB will tends to run out or got eaten up almost every 2 years time.I totally have no game apps and the minimum apps possible.I have also clear out all whatapps,wechat photo etc,all internal storage stuff that I can clear but the phone still keep remain at critical low level internal GB space.The only reason I need to change a phone almost every 2 year is this issue as when it gets to 0MB,then messages especially OTP SMS is not able to received.If not,I will never change a phone so frequent.Is this normal nowadays or any advise for this issue?

Thanks

Thanks for your recommendation. However, what is the difference between Nova 2 lite vs Honor 9 lite? Both prices not much different too.

Please advise.
*
you are smart shopper. go with honor 9 lite or honor 7x. Better spec than nova 2.
honor 7X official price is RM1,099 is now slashed permanently to RM899. vmall price RM1,099.00
honor is huawei budget line, nova is online only model.
huawei flood the market every few month with so many look alike model until peole getting lost.

OK just asking for a kid here but what is the best touchscreen phone around ~RM200? Refurbished or otherwise doesn't matter as long as can get the best performance on budget.
*
Dont waste RM200 for new or used one.
up RM100 for good budget one like Xiaomi Redmi 5A @ RM329.00 (but canot buy !)

1. Brand. ANY
2. Budget. Max RM800
3. Specs. Best spec for the price
4. Type/Size. Must be fullview display.

I've come across the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus for RM799. It comes with a free original 10000mAh powerbank.
Not sure if this is the best package I could get for the price tho. Please let me know if there's any better phones I could get at this price point. Thanks!

fullview display @ 18:9 aspect ratio is 2018 standard. Almost 2018 phone using fullview display.
Then we have HD+ or FHD+ resolution. Then battery size, pure android version
