Huawei GR5 2017 Will Sell for Php 13,500 in the Philippines Starting Mid-January

Announced way back in October 2016, the Huawei GR5 2017 will finally be available in the Philippines starting this month.

Equipped with a Dual-Optics Rear Camera, this mid-level model allows budget-conscious consumers to experience snappping photos with artistic “bokeh” effect that blurs the background of subjects, an imaging feature usually found in expensive top-of-the-line smartphone releases.

Although wallet-friendly, Huawei GR5 has fairly powerful features including its 12MP + 2MP dual cameras, it also has 8MP front cam for selfies, Full HD 5.5-inch IPS display, 2.1 GHz Octa-Core ARM Cortex A53 based Kirin 655 processor with Mali-T830 GPU, fingerprint scanner, 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage, 3,340 mAh battery pack, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1 that just might eventually be upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat.

Although this exact same handset is now available in China, India, US, and Europe as Honor 6X, Huawei Mobile Philippines has been pretty silent about its official local release and price. Currently, what we know for sure is that at least one local retailer has disclosed that it will start offering the device in January 14, 2017 for only Php 13,500. (source)
