Huawei unveils top holiday deals on phones, tablets and wearables at many third-party sellers

With the hot new Mate 9 powerhouse phablet not quite ready for US primetime yet, Huawei gadget enthusiasts are left scrambling for the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday savings on older and/or humbler products like the Honor 8 phone, Fit smartband, Watch, MediaPad M3 tablet and MateBook 2-in-1 laptop.

While the Chinese device manufacturer doesn’t appear to have any plans for looming holiday deals offered directly through its American e-store, we’re happy to bring you a neat collection of third-party retail promos with various start and end dates today.

Already, the recently unveiled Huawei Fit is available on Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg for $99.99, down 30 bucks from its regular $130 price point. The convertible Windows 10-based MateBook tablet is $200 off list over at Microsoft until December 2 with a Portfolio Keyboard bundled in, or $300 off when bought alongside a MatePen and MateDock in addition to the aforementioned keyboard.

Then you have pretty routine discounts of up to $200 on “select” Huawei Watch styles at Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, Google, Target, and B&H also valid through December 2. Between November 25 and 28 only, the just-launched MediaPad M3 Android slate goes $50 off on Amazon to $249, and last but certainly not least, the already affordable Honor 8 flagship phone will set you back $300 instead of $400 with 32GB storage, or $350 in a 64 gig config at Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, and B&H.

Huawei MediaPad M3 launches stateside on Amazon at $299 with premium audio

Loud, sharp, relatively powerful and overall as ambitious as Android tablets can possibly come these days, the 8.4-inch Huawei MediaPad M3 isn’t even all that expensive stateside.

First unveiled back at IFA Berlin in early September, the Harman/Kardon-co-engineered multimedia beast finally goes on sale through Amazon today for a reasonable $299. Unfortunately, Huawei didn’t put this time to very good use, leaving the M3 on Marshmallow when it should have really launched with Nougat pre-installed.

Oh, well, you still get plenty of bang for your buck, including a premium audio experience that may soon be exclusive to Samsung devices. Also, the same in-house Kirin 950 processor found inside last year’s super-high-end Mate 8 phablet, paired with 4 plentiful gigs of RAM, 32GB expandable storage, and a decently spacious 5,100 mAh battery.

At 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, the 8.4-inch IPS LCD screen yields a stellar 359 ppi density for “exceptional” visual performance. Speaking of visuals, the Huawei MediaPad M3 is easy on the eye too, with a “lightweight aircraft aluminum body”, “stylish narrow bezel”, and 7.3mm wasp waist. Oh, and there’s fingerprint support, an 8MP camera on the slate’s rear, and another 8MP shooter on its face. All for three Benjamins.

Meanwhile, the 10.1-inch MediaPad M2 originally showcased way back in January is only arriving to the US sometime next month at an unspecified price. A little late for that, and we can’t think of a low enough tag to make the wait worth it.

Surprise, surprise, it sounds like a Huawei-made Nexus 7 successor is coming this year

Android tablets, both low-cost and “premium”, don’t seem to be going anywhere, and it’s been that way for several years now. It’s perhaps no coincidence Google also inexplicably stopped manufacturing 7-inch Nexuses back in 2013, focusing on larger, far less popular form factors.The 2014-released HTC-produced N9 was practically forgotten before 2013’s second-gen ...
