Leica optics on a dual 12MP and 20MP rear setup are the main draw here, with OIS and 2x lossless zoom giving it more reach than most phones from this era. The Kirin 970 chipset paired with Mali-G72 MP12 handles everyday tasks fine, and 4GB RAM with 128GB storage means you won't be juggling storage space. The 5.8-inch LTPS IPS LCD display runs at 1080 x 2244 with a sharp 428 ppi, small by today's standards but still crisp for browsing and video.

Front camera is a 24MP autofocus shooter, which was ahead of the curve when this launched. Battery sits at 3400 mAh, non-removable, and charges over USB Type-C. There's NFC, an IR blaster, and a front-mounted fingerprint sensor too, plus a 3.5mm jack with 24-bit/192kHz audio support.

Huawei P20 price in Malaysia starts from RM999. It ships with Android 8.1 Oreo and EMUI 8.1, and comes in Twilight, Black, Midnight Blue, and Pink Gold.
