Huawei P20 drops to incredibly low price
Last year’s flagship at a midrange price

Huawei’s 2018 flagship, the P20, is seeing its lowest price ever in the Philippines.
Originally retailing for PhP 34,990, it’s now down to only PhP 21,990. That’s a markdown of PhP 13,000!
Here’s the catch: Your only chance of grabbing this deal is through Lazada from January 14 to 16, 2019. Huawei suggests adding the P20 to your cart as early as now through this link and purchasing it once the massive discount registers.
Even though there have been numerous great smartphones released since the P20, this model still has a lot going for it, including a flagship-level set of cameras, intelligent processing from the Kirin 970 chip, and just recently, an update to EMUI 9 based on Android 9 Pie.
There’s no word yet if the higher-end P20 Pro will experience the same sale.
