We just got official word from Huawei Philippines that their new flagship handset, the Mate7, will be arriving in the Philippines on November 20, 2014 with a suggested retail price of Php27,890.
Huawei is accepting pre-orders of the Mate 7 with special pre-order discounts of up to Php3,000 on the retail price. This brings down the cost of ownership to Php24,890 when you make a Php3,000 deposit for the pre-order.
Interested parties can go to any Huawei Shops (and select MemoXpress shops in Metro Manila) to pre-order and post a down-payment on the Mate 7. You may deposit either Php1,000, Php2,000 or Php3,000 as down-payment. That same amount will then be part of the discount on the final price of the device (maximum Php3k discount).
Announced back in September, the Mate 7 is Huawei’s best smartphone ever with a true octa-core chip (8+1) and 3GB of RAM.

great disappointed with Huawei Philippine…..
When I saw the news paper on 17 Nov, Huawei launch Mate 7 on 20 Nov, Rush to SM north paid 3k deposit, expect to get the Mate 7 on 20 Nov…..
Today 20 Nov, call up huawei shop more than 10 time, finally the staffs told me, they not sure when the Mate 7 can reach their store…..
Don’t tell me I fall into scam ? Or Huawei only interested to collect the deposit?
Huawei before you get the sale, you already created number of unhappy customer…..
Good luck to Huawei…
Got a little disappointed about it too but I knew earlier that they will be moving the launch to Saturday Nov 22. I guess they have a lot of work to do to improve on their marketing/launching execution. I think they already made a good product they woudnt want to ruin it by simple logistics.
Dont worry though we will still get it on saturday. They said they will be raffling off Huawei tablets and even a Mate7 to those who pre ordered but I think you should be at SM north or Mega Mall by Saturday 4pm-5pm
