Huawei P40 price in Malaysia starts from RM1399, putting a 2020 flagship chipset within reach at a mid-range budget. The Kirin 990 5G handles daily tasks and games without fuss, paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that's expandable through Huawei's NM card format. The 6.1-inch OLED screen packs in 422 ppi sharpness, and there's an under-display fingerprint reader plus IR face unlock for security.

Camera-wise, this is where the P40 earns its keep. The Leica-tuned triple setup pairs a 50MP main sensor with OIS against an 8MP telephoto offering 3x optical zoom and a 16MP ultrawide, so you get flexibility across focal lengths without stepping up to the Pro model. Video tops out at 4K60, and the 32MP front camera adds a 3D depth sensor for biometric use.

Battery capacity sits at 3800mAh with 22.5W fast charging, reasonable rather than class-leading. It runs Android 10 with EMUI 10.1 and HMS instead of Google services, which is worth checking before you commit if app compatibility matters to you. IP53 rated body adds a bit of splash resistance for everyday knocks.
