Huawei Mate 8, the most anticipated flagship phone from the Chinese phone maker, is going to be kicked in to pre-order phase in Pakistan.

Huawei Mate 8 was launched globally earlier this month. Later we reported that the flagship phone from Huawei will be launched in Pakistan on January 31st. Now we came to know that the company is going to take pre-orders in the country starting tomorrow – Monday, Jan 18th.

The price of the phone is still not known but this latest feed hints in a pretty good way that the company wants to see the demand of the phone in the country before they can actually tag a price to it – well that’s the way companies usually do and pre-order phase is always a welcome step.

However shelving a product on pre-order without an upfront payment, doesn’t necessarily mean that all the purchase requests  would be real and the consumer will actually buy the product once it’s available. But this indeed shows the consumer’s interest at some extent.

A quick features table is listed below while you can check full specifications of Huawei Mate 8 with prices here. For global  pricing checkout our coverage of Huawei Mate 8.
