1. Brand. (Xiaomi preferred, but open to other brands)
2. Budget. Rm250-350 (hence why i ask, test the sifu here)
3. Specs. (Min 3gb/32gb, ok cpu, microSD card slot, LTE 850 (5), LTE 1800)
4. What you need in the phone (last 24-36 months)

Cerita:
Am gonna be buying a Xiaomi A1/A2lite to replace my Asus Zenfone 5(2014). Wanted to find a secondary phone at the same time.

Dont need to game, camera not important (but not 1mp laaa), can play video n surf and YouTube without problem. Screensize min 4 inch, no max. Id take a phablet at that price if got hehe. If possible can update to latest stock Android version, or latest manufacturer Android OS version.

Id recommend the Xiaomi A1 4gb/64gb. May not be cheapest 64gb, but the value for money proposition is high. Its roughly rm700 now,  may drop soon due to A2Lite coming out.



for no 1 why not get those armored cases? Rm 30 to 70 can get quality one. Also tempered glass.

I'm not very well versed with various phones. I usually ask a few ppl and from their 2-3 recommendation choose one. But sub 100usd they couldnt help hence I posted here.

Having a case = can choose any phone lo, otherwise you are like limited to a very narrow range.

For your situation, I just remember reading about this china brand phone:

Corning glass 5, ips screen, covered ports, ip68(?), wireless charging, and what not.
It should be noted I never tried, know or know anyone who uses this brand, I just came upon it a few weeks ago surfing aliexpress.

i know what u mean about buying unknown brands, haha.
Im not a Samsung fan tbh.

Search for the armoured edition, kevlar n stuff. Xiaomi quite safe, top 5 in phones internationally.
