Black Friday is well underway and Huawei, along with most companies, is offering potentially lucrative deals in exchange for some of your hard-earned cash.
The Chinese conglomerate really isn’t messing around this year. It’s offering a selection of marked-down products through South Africa’s biggest mobile networks – Vodacom, Cell C, MTN, and Telkom. Although it’s keeping some of the bigger stuff separate over on its online store. That includes all the usual deals on cellphones, wearables, gadgets, and office products.
The “hallmark” of this year’s Black Friday (no 2023 deaths so far) is “the free gadgets bundled with a host of its offerings.” That, apparently, includes devices such as the Watch GT 3 SE, freelace headphones, and a 10Gb LTE Wireless router. To be clear; these are only available as freebies of specific deals, and not through every marked-down item.
It’s worth mentioning that Huawei’s Black Friday deals will end on 30 November 2023, or “until stocks last”, so you still have time to score.
Huawei’s personal touch
The first deal involves the Huawei Mate50 Pro (512GB), down to R17,000 – with the company noting a total savings of R10,000. Considering the device’s specs and our thoughts on it, it’s hard to deny it’s a pretty sweet deal. Any purchase of the Mate50 Pro will net users a free pair of freelance buds, too.
That’s it for the freebies from Huawei’s own online store. Getting hold of a Watch GT or an LTE wireless router will revolve around customers picking up these deals from the mentioned mobile networks. But we’ll get to those later.
Next up is the Mate Xs 2 – a folding smartphone that didn’t exactly get a rave review from us. Even so, it’s hard to ignore the R20,000 price tag, a 50% slash to the original R40,000 price.
Huawei’s got two of its nova smartphones in the offing, the first being the nova 10, down to R7,300 from the R13,000 starting price. Or if you aren’t looking to spend that much, Huawei is knocking R600 off the nova Y71, bringing the price down to R4,400.
If there’s another nova you’ve had your eye on, the company said it “has put together deals for the entire Huawei nova series,” all of which can be found through its online store.
The company is also looking to target office “Officianados” with the Matebook X Pro, down to R26,000 – a saving of R10,000, apparently. Or you could stick with something a little more wallet-friendly, like the Matebook D15, going for R9,000.
