Kirin 970 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage gives the P20 Pro enough headroom for everyday multitasking, though there's no microSD slot to expand it further. The 6.1-inch AMOLED display runs at 1080 x 2244 with an 18.7:9 ratio, and at nearly 82% screen-to-body ratio, bezels are slim for a phone of this era.

Huawei P20 Pro price in Malaysia starts from RM1399, and the camera setup is where it earns its reputation. The triple Leica rear system pairs a 40MP main sensor with 20MP and 8MP lenses, backed by 3x optical zoom and 5x hybrid zoom, plus laser and phase detection autofocus for quicker shots. The 4000mAh battery is generous for its time, and the IP67 rating means it can handle a splash or brief dunk without issue.
