Huawei Ascend G300 arriving next week at around Php7k

We just got word from Huawei Philippines that a new handset will be released next week. While they did not give the suggested retail price, the Huawei Ascend G300 is selling for $160PHP 9,390INR 13,560EUR 152CNY 1,165 elsewhere.

That puts the price of the handset in the vicinity of Php7,000USD 119INR 10,112EUR 114CNY 869. Considering they have the Ascend Y200 that retails for Php5,490USD 94INR 7,931EUR 89CNY 681, then the Ascend G300 might sell somewhere in between Php6,990USD 119INR 10,098EUR 113CNY 867 to Php7,490USD 128INR 10,820EUR 122CNY 930.
