Third Place – Realme C55
In second place is the Realme C55 which is the first Android phone with a Dynamic Island-like feature used on the iPhone 14 Pro series. With the Mini Capsule, owners can see charging information displayed in a unique "capsule". The device is equipped with a 6.72" IPS LCD screen, powered by the Dimensity G88 chip, memory up to 8GB RAM and storage up to 256GB.
The battery is 5000 mAh which lasts a long time and supports 33W charging which is quite fast. The operating system used is Android 13 so the owner gets the latest features. The downside is the mono speaker which makes the audio experience less satisfying.
Specifications: 6.72” IPS LCD FHD+ 90Hz, MediaTek Helio G88 (6nm) (2X Cortex-A75 2.0 GHz + 6X Cortex-A55 1.8 GHz), 6/8GB RAM, 128/256 GB storage, 64+2MP (Main), 8MP (Selfie), 5000 mAh (33W), Android 13.

Second Place – Realme 10 4G
At a price of RM999, the Realme 10 4G hardly deserves to be recommended in this category. It's a bit more expensive than the C55 but there's a reason why you should pay more. First of all the Super AMOLED 90Hz screen which is better than competitors who still use LCD. Under sunlight the screen can still be seen clearly.
This is paired with a MediaTek Helio G99 chip which is more powerful than the two devices above. The power on the GPU is slightly improved on the G90 although the CPU core is still the same as the G88. Another advantage is the 8GB RAM memory that can be added up to 16GB virtually and the use of faster UFS 2.2 storage. Long lasting 5000 mAh battery with 33W charging. The downside is that it still runs Android 12.
Specifications: 6.4” SAMOLED FHD+ 90Hz, MediaTek Helio G99 (6nm) (2X Cortex-A76 2.2 GHz + 6X Cortex-A55 2.0 GHz), 8GB RAM, storage up to 128GB, 50+2 MP (Main), 16MP (Selfie), 5000 mAh (33W), Android 12.

Champion – iQOO Z7X
It is difficult to get a 5G device at a price below RM1000. iQOO Z7X which has just been marketed in Malaysia is sold at a price of RM999 for the 8/128GB version. In addition to 5G, it is also equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 695 chip and is matched with 8GB RAM memory and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage which is fast for this class.
Memory can be increased up to 16GB virtually when needed. The strength of the Z7X is a giant 6000 mAh battery that supports 80W fast charging which has never been offered on a device under RM1000. This is why we crown the iQOO Z7X as the champion.
Specifications: 6.64” IPS LCD FHD+ 120Hz, Snapdragon 695 (6nm) (2X Cortex-A75 2.0 GHz + 6X Cortex-A55 1.8 GHz), 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, 50+?MP (Main), 8MP (Selfie), 6000 mAh (80W), Android 13.
