Going Full Huawei: How much will it cost?

Huawei has just launched its 2020 line of products, including the latest flagship P40 Pro, MatePad P40, MateBook X Pro, and Watch GT 2e. If you’re looking to purchase one or more of their new products, why not go all out? If you’re looking to take advantage of Huawei’s ecosystem and its features, here’s how much it will cost.

The Essentials

Smartphone

Since we want to take advantage of all of Huawei’s features, we’re going with their latest flagship, the P40. Not only does it have one of the best cameras on a smartphone, but it also has a host of features and AI functionalities as well. If, however, you want something better, you could look at the P40 Pro, which offers better cameras and even more AI functionalities. The Huawei P40 is priced at PHP 36,990 for the 8GB + 128GB variant, while the P40 Pro priced at PHP 50,990 for the 8GB + 256GB variant.

Laptop

As for the laptop, there are two choices, the MateBook X Pro and MateBook D 15. While the X Pro is, on paper, better than the MateBook D, there are some pros on getting the latter. The most obvious is the price, as the MateBook D costs only a third of the X Pro. Second, the MateBook D has a much bigger screen, which may suit students and regular office workloads better than the 13.3-inch display on the X Pro. That being said, if you do a lot of creative work, then getting the X Pro is the better choice thanks to its color-accurate display.

The MateBook D is priced at PHP 37,990, while the MateBook X Pro is priced at PHP 119,990.

Accessories

Smartwatch

Alongside the launch of the P40-series, Huawei also introduced its latest smartwatch, the Huawei Watch GT 2e. Not only does it come with a new strap, but it also has a host of new features such as the Female Health Management, automatic workout recognition, and you can also use it as a camera remote for your phone. The Huawei Watch GT2e costs PHP 6,990. However, if you want to get their flagship model Watch GT 2, then it’s going to cost you PHP 10,990 for the Fluoroelastomer model, and PHP 13,990 for the leather strap variant.

Why would you want to go all Huawei?

Huawei has gone a long way from being just another Chinese smartphone manufacturer. They have developed new features such as the Huawei Share feature, which allows Huawei smartphones and laptops to transfer files wirelessly via the Huawei Share.

Huawei is also competing with the top dogs across different sectors, even taking on Google’s Mobile Services and Play Store with its HMS Core 4.0 and App Gallery. Grabbing their devices not only offer users good value but now also a sense of luxury as Huawei has successfully positioned itself in the upper echelon of consumer electronics.

Additionally, Huawei is helping users adopt the IoT and AI lifestyle, with its 1+8+N strategy, having an all Huawei set up allows you to control most of your devices with just your phone.

If you’re looking to take advantage of the Huawei Ecosystem and integrate their Smart products, it’s going to cost a lot. It even costs more than Apple when going for the top-tier devices. However, as we mentioned, you don’t need to go all out right away. You could start with just the smartphone and laptop, and add more along the way.
