Looks like pre-orders went pretty well for Huawei.

10,000 units... come on !!
I was ALMOST ready to be mad, since I had not heard about a pre-order, BUT that's because it's NOT the US. I've been waiting for this one!
10k? That's a pretty small preorder amount
That's for Malaysia only, preorders have already surpassed 1 million in China and have yet to begin in a lot of other regions.
Ah ok. I was going to say... 10k...that's essentially nothing.That's for Malaysia only, preorders have already surpassed 1 million in China and have yet to begin in a lot of other regions.
Well I am not familiar with the mobile market in Malaysia... But it does feel lowYah 10k isn't something to brag about lol
Well they did brag about it so obviously it meant something to themEven if the market is low, 10k just sounds low. But if that's alot to them, then great for huawei.
They got 10k in preorders in a region where preorders aren't a thing. I live in South East Asia and preorders really aren't advertised a lot here since a lot of people don't do that. The mentality is usually I want to actually see it first. What happens to the freebies is that they go for higher contract fees to get 'freebies', lower ones means you get the phone only.
If I remember correctly, in my country, Samsung hitting 15k preorders for the S8 was huge. So yes, 10k preorders for Huawei is huge from a relative point of view.
Yeah. Thing is people here mostly don't realize when new phones come out and they're always surprised that a new one has arrived. Looking on the internet for the next phone isn't a thing except for the minority of the tech inclined. People here save up money, then walk to a shop and see the best bang for buck they can get. Overwhelming majority of the people go prepaid on their networks too. It's a running joke sometimes here that people have nice phones but no credits for data, calls or sms. Lol. But going prepaid means buying phones outright, and preorder prices are higher than buying when the thing has arrived, so people tend to wait like at least 2mos after release. To be honest, even iPhone fans here call people who line up at Apple Stores to get the latest iPhone stupid. That doesn't happen here as much as it does in other countries.Thanks for clarifying. That's pretty impressive if they got 10k when the s8 was 15k

To be honest that's why sometimes I'm envious of other countries getting lots of freebies lol. I guess it's a trade off since you'll almost never experience the horror stories in terms of support here because nearly every brand here has a brick and mortar store in every other mall you can take a damaged device to. No need to deal with customer support via calls.
