The limited edition Porsche Design range (Mate RS, Mate 10, Mate 9) which retails for MYR6,999 is now MYR6,603 after zero-rating of GST, giving you a savings of MYR396. Targeted at those who want ultimate exclusivity, the exquisite Porsche Design range also feature top-notch specs and customised Porsche Design UI elements and packaging.
It’s a little odd that the older generation Porsche Design Mate 10 and Mate 9 models retain their MYR6,999 RRPs, but such is the exclusivity and collectible nature of the brand.
If you’re a P20 Pro fan, then you’ll get instant savings of MYR187, too, now at MYR3,112.
For more down-to-earth phones, you can consider the Huawei nova 3e, now for MYR1,320 after a savings of MYR79.
