Huawei is at it again, enticing you to avail of their latest and greatest devices. From October 8-10, select Huawei devices are 50% off their retail price. Plus, perks will be offered for eager buyers too.

First up on Huawei devices with discounts is the MateBook D15. For a limited time, buyers can snag the affordable laptop at PhP 6,000 off its retail price of PhP 35,999. The discount really makes this laptop a great choice for students and professionals, considering that it comes with a Ryzen 5 3500U processor, an 8GB RAM + 256GB SSD combo, and a 15-inch full HD display.

The same PhP 6,000 discount applies to the MatePad Pro. With a Kirin 990 processor, the tablet flies on everyday tasks. Meanwhile, the tablet’s FullView display provides an immersive viewing experience. Thanks to the price discount, it is now much affordable at PhP 26,990 — a huge markdown from its PhP 32,990 retail price.

Discounts are also up for grabs on Huawei’s smartphones. Up to PhP 4,000 off its retail price awaits buyers of Huawei Y8P. Meanwhile, there will be a flash sale on the entry-level Huawei Y7, on top of PhP 700 off its retail price.

And those leveling up their workout game can avail the Huawei Band 4 at its lowest price yet. Thanks to 60% off, it is now much easier and affordable to own the fitness band.

Exclusive offers are also up for grabs. For a limited time, Huawei will offer the Watch Fit in exclusive Cantaloupe Orange color.

Lastly, Huawei’s exclusive masterpiece bundle is still down to its lowest price. Buyers can still score a hefty discount of PhP 17,000 with the Mate 30 Pro 5G + FreeBuds 3 + Watch GT 2e bundle.
