I was at the launch when the leading Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, unveiled its latest smartphone (Huawei GR5 Mini) on the 9th of September at the Lekki Coliseum, a smartphone that has been the talk of the town. Meanwhile, it was an opportunity to hold discussions with the likes of Omawumi, Timi Dakolo, who were amongst other celebrities in attendance.
However, to further spread the news of Huawei GR5 Mini smartphone and offer a special discount to buyers, Huawei had partnered with Finet to offer technology enthusiasts an exciting independence anniversary experience at the Obafemi Awolowo Glass House, following the launch of the Huawei GR5 Mini last month.
Yes, Huawei GR5 Mini was launched last month, but we discover that most of the target audience who were not at the launch should be properly informed about this beautiful device. This is like a second launch; the goal is to create awareness and deepen the market”, a close source to Finet who remained anonymous said.
Although the first launch was an exclusive one, most loyal customers were not able to attend. Hence, with the trade launch event, the Chinese phone maker brought a similar experience to residents and potentials customers in a central area.
Meanwhile, Finet Experience Center is one of Nigeria’s largest mobile phone stores and sits at the center of Lagos ICT hub, so it was the perfect place to host the media launch.
“Although the first launch was a success, we felt the need to do another launch event for our loyal customers who were not able to attend and give them a chance to experience the latest in Huawei technology,” said, Mr. Leo Jiang, Managing Director, Devices of Huawei Nigeria.
The Huawei GR5 Mini is one of the smartphones to look out for and feel; the smartphone is the perfect combination of style, design, and technology. It comes with a Full HD (1920x1080p), 5.2 displays along with 64-bit Octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, and 16GB ROM. It has a good 13MP rear and 8MP selfie camera with LED Flash. Other key specifications are Fingerprint sensors, 3000 mAh Battery, OS Android v6.0 Marshmallow.
