Spark launches Huawei P8 in-store and online today

Spark launches Huawei P8 in-store and online today


Spark announced today that the new Huawei P8 is now available in-store and online at www.spark.co.nz, and the first 1000 customers who sign up to a $59 Open Term plan with interest free repayments will get the phone for under $25 per month, an effective $200 discount.

The Huawei P8 continues the minimalist design of previous generations in the P series, combining elegance and craftsmanship with cutting edge technology. The P8 packs a range of premium features into its all-metal 6.4mm unibody design: A revolutionary four-colour camera with optical image stabilisation and DSLR-level image processor, a 2,680mAh battery to get even power users through a full day of use, and a 5.2-inch class-leading Gorilla glass screen.

Dean Pointon, Head of Devices at Spark Home, Mobile, and Business welcomed the launch saying that the P8 underlines Huawei’s moves toward the premium end of the market.

“The P8 is a stunning device. Its slim, all-metal design and revolutionary camera have been combined with leading innovation, bringing new features like Rich Touch, which performs different actions depending on what part of the hand is used on the screen, and the ability find the phone using only your voice when you misplace it.

“It really shows that Huawei is a serious player in the premium smartphone market,” Pointon said.

Huawei is so confident of the P8’s strength and reliability that it is also offering free screen repair for accidental damage for the first 12 months.*
