Best phones under RM2000 in Malaysia (2025)
This article was last updated on 6th May 2025
We live in an era where smartphones are becoming increasingly accessible to everyone. While it’s true that flagship phones are getting heftier base prices, it’s also true that there are more affordable phones to choose from than ever before.
Let’s also put this on record early: just because a phone has a lower price tag doesn’t make it any less capable than one that is exorbitantly priced. Case in point – the latest iPhone 16 (starting price RM3,999) and iPhone 16 Plus (starting price RM4,499) still only have 60Hz refresh rates!
Yes, you might miss out on some bells and whistles, but if all you need is a daily driver that’s consistent and reliable, there are great options across all price points.
We’ve already covered the best phones under RM1,000. If you’ve got a little more to splash, here are the best smartphones you can find under RM2,000 in Malaysia.
