SoyaCincau’s best smartphones under RM1,000 (2019)

Vivo V11

Another late-2018 model, the Vivo V11 has recently seen its price drop to the sub-RM1,000 range, which might make it a worthwhile consideration for some. If you’re in the market for a great display and you don’t want to break the bank for it, the V11 certainly has quite a bit going for it.

It packs a 6.41″ Full HD+ Super AMOLED display in a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and it runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 AIE processor. Along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, you’re getting a vibrant screen that outstrips many other smartphones in this price bracket.

But on the flip-side, the V11 still uses a microUSB port, while it only has a dual-camera setup, along with a 25MP f/2.0 selfie camera housed on the tiny notch. For the main cameras, you get a 12MP f/1.8 + 5MP f/2.4 camera combo with AI photography features.

But at a revised price of RM899, the V11 is certainly a smartphone to consider. Other flagship-esque features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, although the 3,400mAh battery powering the device isn’t all that great.
