View Prime – RM 1,199
The View Prime is priced RM 300 more than the View. What you get for the extra money is the higher performance internals – the Snapdragon 430 with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of storage. The Snapdragon 430 also comes with a more powerful Adreno 505 GPU.
Besides, the front camera is a dual lens system. The 20 MP sensor takes a standard angle high definition selfie while the 8 MP sensor takes a wide-angle selfie.
At the back are the 16 MP camera and the fingerprint scanner. Powering the device is the 3000 mAh battery.
View – RM 899
For RM 300 less, the View Prime still feels a lot similar to the View Prime. The front display has the same 5.7-inch 1440×720 HD+ resolution. What is missing here is the dual front camera setup.
The internals you still get the reasonably good performing Snapdragon 425 and a slightly smaller 2900 mAh battery. It comes with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage.
Pricing & Availability
The View is priced at RM899 while the View Prime is RM1,199. Malaysians will be able to purchase both phones sometime in October at all authorised outlets in Peninsular and East Malaysia.
