with your budget, can target Snapdragon 625 devices. Handles new game quite well. Plus buying a phone on 2nd half of 2017, better be at least 4gb ram and 32gb internal. So i would recommend

Lenovo P2 RM1299
Moto G5 Plus RM1299
Zenfone 3 ZE552KL RM1499

Oppo is overpriced imo. If u dont mind to try another Xiaomi, can go for Redmi Note 4.

haha test lenovo before, sucks sweat.gif

moto g5, quite skeptical about it.

Zenfone, heard bad review from my friend.

I guess best budget phone i can go for is RN4 for now T_T thought wanted to wait for RN5 that might out at Aug 2017 but it's mediatek first for sure.

My 4-year-old Samsung Galaxy Trend suddenly stopped working (battery swells a lot).
Requesting for urgent recommendations for a budget of RM600!
(Note: I may be able to stretch the budget to RM900 if the recommended phone is really good)
BRAND
Anything except Lenovo and Apple.

BUDGET
As mentioned above, preferably below RM600, but I may be able to stretch the budget to RM900 if necessary.

SPEC(IFICATION)S
1. Minimum 1.5GB RAM, preferably 2GB RAM or above. (I don't want to have my phone lagging - is processor speed more important?)
2. Minimum 5 MP rear camera. Front camera can screw off, I don't care if the front camera even exists.
3. No screen size preference.
4. 1 SIM slot is enough, I don't care if it has more SIM slots.

WHAT DO I NEED
1. Sturdy phone. My previous phone survived falling on the floor, stairs and road, as well as being stepped on. My friends who bought newer phones cracked the screens when they dropped their phones from a height of 5 cm from their hands onto the table.
2. Long battery life. While I seldom use my phone in a regular day, I don't have a powerbank, and I don't have many opportunities to charge my phone. It seems like there are more phones with built-in batteries than there used to be. Are there any disadvantages to built in batteries? I'm a little worried because newer phones tend to explode left and right nowadays.

Yea basically Xiaomi got one of the cheapest price for budget phone. Redmi Note 4(mediatek) is China model. Redmi Note 4x is basically China snapdragon model (they put X to differentiate the processor).

I personally would get Redmi Note 4 snapdragon M'sia set though since its only like RM678 in Lazada and warranty is easier. Oh ya i bias snapdragon over mediatek though even mediatek got higher specs but they got heating problem and the processor does not integrate well with its components.
