Samsung is seen as a pretty great brand when talking about smartphones at this time. It is the most popular brand with a market share of 22.5%, defeating Apple with a share of 15.9% in the world. So for that, some users prefer the Samsung brand as their smartphone choice.

The Galaxy V Plus is seen as the latest Samsung device that is seen to bring the basic features. It comes with a 4.0-inch screen, 1.2GHz dual-core processing chip, 512MB RAM memory, 4GB internal storage, 3MP rear camera, VGA front camera, 1500 mAh battery, and Android 4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz Essence UX interface.

Lenovo A616
For those who want a large screen size and LTE support
Front and back view of a Lenovo A616 smartphone. The front displays a colorful wallpaper with balloons and app icons for Messaging, Camera, and Browser. The back is dark with a textured pattern and the Lenovo logo in silver.
If screen size is a priority, the Lenovo A616 is seen to be able to provide the best experience over the presence of a 5.5-inch screen. Not only that, it is also the only device in this list that comes with LTE support for fast 4G pelayaran.

Lenovo A616 is seen as excellent on the use of MediaTek quad-core processing chip based on Cortex-A53 which provides the fastest performance with 64-bit support. It also comes with a 5MP autofocus camera with 1080p HD recording in giving more value to the shooting function. Only one thing that does not qualify it to be on a higher list, its memory is only supplied with 512MB RAM LPDDR3. It may provide a smooth performance (on the use of Android 4.4 as an operating system), but for multitasking and games, it requires more memory to operate smoothly.

In terms of specifications, it is powered by MediaTek M76732M quad-core Cortex-A53 1.3GHz 64-bit chip, 512MB RAM memory, 4GB internal storage with microSD, 5MP rear camera with 1080p HD recording, VGA front camera, 2250 mAh battery, and Android 4.4 KitKat.

Microsoft Lumia 430
Shortcut to try Windows 10 Mobile
Three Microsoft Lumia smartphones are arranged in a row. The phone on the left is orange and shows the back. The middle phone is black and shows the front with the Windows Phone start screen, including tiles for apps like Internet Explorer, WhatsApp, and Facebook. The phone on the right is orange and shows the front with a different start screen layout, displaying a background image of rocks and the time 4:30 PM on Thursday, March 19th.
Under RM300 you can actually get a device powered by the latest Windows 10 Mobile operating system. For me, the experience of using a Windows phone is very interesting over the presence of a simple and minimalist Live Tiles interface. Not only that, Windows phones are also known for their smooth operation even if they come with low specifications.

However, Windows 10 Mobile is still constrained by application problems, both in terms of the absence of applications on this platform and the problem of applications that are not given updates in line with the Android and iOS platforms. But with the presence of the Universal Apps initiative, these application problems may change like the Facebook, Instagram & Spotify applications that will be given the breath of the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) application for the Windows 10 platform.

Speaking of specifications, the Lumia 430 comes with a 4.0-inch screen, Snapdragon 200 dual-core Cortex A7 1.2GHz chip, 1GB RAM memory, 8GB internal storage, 2MP rear camera, VGA front camera, 1500 mAh battery, and Windows Phone 8.1 operating system (with free upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile).

Lenovo A1000
RM250 phone with Android 5.0 Lollipop
A white Lenovo A1000 smartphone is shown in two positions. The phone in the foreground is angled to display the front screen, which has a wallpaper of a red and white airplane and displays the time as 9:30. The phone in the background shows the back, which is white with a textured pattern and a silver Lenovo logo. The back also has a small camera lens and a speaker grill.
I've tried using this device and I admit, I like the performance of this phone. It's fast enough for a budget device, both in terms of multitasking and gaming performance. Two things that caught my attention, it comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop and 8GB of storage. Until now, not many devices below the RM300 level come with Android 5.0 Lollipop and 8GB for internal storage. The majority are powered by Android 4.4 KitKat and 4GB storage which is seen as low for application installation.

When an Android device is powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop and above, the guarantee of getting the best user experience is high because Lollipop requires powerful enough hardware to operate smoothly. In addition to performance, Android 5.0 Lollipop also prioritizes a modern user experience through the Material Design interface. So with a budget below RM300, of course you are no longer stuck with the choice of devices in the KitKat era.

In terms of specifications, the Lenovo A1000 comes with a 4.0-inch screen, Spectrum SC7731 quad-core Cortex A7 1.3GHz chip, 1GB RAM memory, 5MP rear camera with HD recording, VGA front camera, 2000 mAh battery, and is powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Asus Zenfone C
Compact and powerful
Zenfone C occupies the first place in this list for the balance in terms of specifications, functions, design, and price value. It comes with the best specifications in its class both in terms of performance and photography. In this list, the Zenfone C is seen as more powerful in terms of camera through a 5MP f/2.0 autofocus sensor with the ability to record videos up to 1080p.

When assessed in terms of design, the Zenfone C also displays the most attractive design among all devices in this list with a premium "Zen" build finish under the device. ASUS also did not miss bringing SonicMaster audio technology and PixelMaster camera technology to this device even though it is a basic variant in the Zenfone series.

Reviewing in terms of specifications, the Zenfone C comes with a 4.5-inch screen, Intel Atom Z2520 dual-core 1.2GHz chip with HT, 1GB RAM memory, 8GB internal storage, 5MP camera with full 1080p HD recording, VGA front camera, 2100 mAh battery, and Android 4.4 KitKat with a modern ZenUI interface.
