Huawei P8 will have 3-year warranty in selected markets (exclusive)
While most modern smartphones come with standard manufacturers’ warranty, some companies are trying to offer additional services to entice customers. LG is offering free screen replacements in Korea with the LG G4, HTC is offering free damage protection in the USA with the One M9 and we can exclusively reveal that Huawei is offering three years warranty with next-day or three-day turnaround time for repairs with the Huawei P8 in selected Western European markets.
As part of its Huawei VIP service, customers in the following Western European markets will receive the following service levels with their Huawei P8 smartphone:
| Country | Service |
|---|---|
UK | 3 years warranty for the first 5000 customers to register on the Huawei website |
FR | 3 years warranty |
DE | 3 years warranty when you register with Huawei Club |
IT | Special line customer care |
ES | 3 days TAT for repairs |
NL | 3 years warranty |
PT | 3 years warranty if you buy the device before 31st July 2015 |
BE | 3 years warranty |
CH | 3 days TAT |
The 24-hour turn around time for repairs in the UK is certainly impressive, given that most OEMs can only offer 7-14 days TAT and the 3 years warranty will certainly ensure your handset continues to work for longer than the contract you bought it on. In Germany, three months out-of-warranty insurance should provide some reassurance for customers that, if the worst should happen, at least Huawei will foot the bill for the first three months.
