Samsung Galaxy Ace

Samsung Galaxy Ace

The first timer

Device: Galaxy Ace

Price: RM999

If the loved one you're thinking of is new to the smartphone game but keen to start with the Android platform, then consider introducing the Galaxy Ace into the picture.

This entry-level smartphone is a tidy little package with a glossy front, silver sides, and textured back and a 3.5in touchscreen.

It also sports a 5-megapixel autofocus camera which is complemented by an LED flash and a tiny slit for the loud speaker.

iPhone 4s

Sadly this isn’t iPhone 5 we all hoped for.  No matter if you wanted larger screen, slim case or rounded glass screen those things aren’t there, yet. It’s a new spin for previous iPhone 4 but it still can impress many with a faster processor (borrowed from iPad 2), a better camera, a smarter virtual assistant and twice the storage of its predecessor.
