HWZ Deal Alert: 29th July 2016

Got deal, got talk! GDGT! =)

What do you do when it’s the last Friday of the month? Go shopping! Here are handful of new deals to help you wrap up the month and week.

 

HTC 10

The HTC 10 is finally available in Singapore. HTC’s flagship is now available exclusively on Lazada for S$898. While this isn’t a “deal” in the usual manner of speaking, the first 100 customers will receive a free Ice View case and a HTC Mini+. The Ice View is a flip case with a see-through cover that lets you interact with the phone without having the lift the cover, while the Mini+ is a nifty little Bluetooth controller that can control your phone while it’s still in your bag.

The Lazada exclusive lasts only till 14 August, after which the HTC 10 will be available from other official HTC retailers.

 

Xiaomi Mi 5

Xiaomi’s latest flagship phone comes equipped with all the latest hardware, including a Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of UFS 2.0 storage. The entry-level model, with the aforementioned specifications, went on sale locally late last month at S$619, but you can get it at S$399 now on Qoo10.

Stocks are limited though, so you’ll need to move fast.

 

Nescafe Gold Blend Barista Machine

Feeling like some coffee? The Nescafe Gold Blend Barista Machine serves up espressos, Americanos, lattes, and even your favorite cappuccino in under a minute.

It is selling for S$69 on Qoo10 now (together with a free 95g coffee tin), down from a usual price of S$149.

 

MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 may not be the most powerful card on the planet anymore – that honor goes to the new Titan X – but it still serves up enough performance to satisfy even the most hardcore enthusiasts. And when it comes to custom cards, you can’t do much better than the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G. With a beefed-up cooler and factory overclocks, the card promises to edge out even the NVIDIA’s Founders Edition cards.

You can pick one up on Massdrop for US$720, and after tacking on the US$25 shipping cost to Singapore, you’ll end up paying around US$745 (~S$1,005). That ultimately works out to around S$240 in savings over the local price of S$1,249.
