Is the iPhone 14 a good buy at RM2800 in 2026?
It's the highest-volume pick in this entire under-RM3000 comparison at 10,000+ sold, sold through TMT Thunder Official Store. It's an older model generation than Apple's current lineup, but genuinely new (not refurbished) and the cheapest way into a new iPhone under RM3000.
What's the best Samsung phone under RM3000?
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (RM2,700, new, official) is the best Samsung pick under RM3000 in this comparison, sold directly through Samsung's own Flagship Store — Samsung's flagship-lite tier only enters this price range, not the RM1000-RM2000 caps.
Is there a good budget 5G option under RM3000?
Yes — the HONOR 400 5G (RM1,800, 5,000+ sold) and OPPO A78 5G (RM495.99, 2,000+ sold) both stay well under the RM3000 budget while offering genuine 5G connectivity, if you'd rather save the difference than spend up to iPhone/Samsung pricing.
