Huawei Nova 7 SE pre-orders open in the Philippines on June 12

The Philippines got its first 5G network last year, but it was a fixed network meant to replace wired broadband. Over the last few months local carriers have been making 5G mobile with new smartphone launches.

The latest is the Huawei Nova 7 SE. It will go on pre-order on June 12 (this Friday) and will become officially available on June 22. It’s not up on most stores yet, but we did find a placeholder page on Lazada.

The price is PHP 20,000 ($400), making it one of the more affordable 5G phones. Previous launches brought the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro (the vanilla model was PHP 31,000 at launch, but that was a promo discount).

Local carrier Globe already has coverage over some areas in the capital and is working on expanding it. Other carriers have plans for 5G networks as well.
