7 deals you shouldn't miss at Dubai's Gitex Shopper

Dubai - Spend more than Dh5,000 and spin the wheel to win an iPhone XS Max.

Gitex Shopper 2018, the region's largest consumer electronics shopping spectacular, is back with the UAE's leading retailers and major international technology brands offering exclusive limited offers and bumper flash sales on 35,000 products.
The opening day of the show saw the brand-new Honor 8X phone completely sell out, with the smartphone brand bringing additional stock to the show.
The device was simultaneously launched in China and the UAE on Tuesday, meaning Gitex Shopper was the UAE's main outlet for purchase - and, in true Gitex Shopper fashion, the product was bundled up as a special deal.
In a show full of bargains, head-turning deals at major retailers are a dime a dozen - so here's six super retailers to watch out for and a flavour of just some of their available deals during the show.  
With devices galore at Gitex Shopper 2018, Huawei, as Official Technology Partner, ups the game by launching, for the first time in the UAE, its powerful yet lightweight MateBook X Pro and ergonomic MediaPad M5 Series, that promises Huawei's breakthrough technological advancements.
1. Huawei Matebook X Pro, the world's first ultra slim, ultralight FullView display laptop, is available at a show special price of Dh6,999. The Huawei nova 3i 4G LTE mobile phone with four cameras, Dual SIM, 128 Gb memory and 4GB RAM - originally priced at Dh1,299 - is priced at Dh1,099 for Gitex Shopper 2018. Or grab a Huawei nova 3 for Dh1,599 and receive a free bag and selfie stick. The Huawei P20 Pro is also on offer with Dh600 discount and free ear buds, for just Dh2,399.
2. SharafDG is offering an incredible deal where Gitex Shopper visitors can get a 2018 BMW 318i and a 65" 4K Ultra HD TV for Dh89,999 - probably the biggest bargain at the event - with a saving of Dh55,000.
3. SharafDG is also offering up to Dh1,350 in deals and offers with every purchase. Visitors get up to 10 per cent of their purchase price back if they use an ADCB credit card. The Dh1,350 deal comprises an Dh700 voucher for Sharaf Travel, which gives customers the option to visit any three of 20 great attractions in the UAE including: IMG World, WB World, Dubai Frame, At The Top and more; an Dh600 voucher for ClearTrip and Dh50 Careem credit to help transport bargains home.
4. Trade in old tech with Emax and get double the suggested market value. Make a purchase with Emax at the event and receive an Dh500-2,000 Tajawal travel voucher, a free 'Entertainer' discount app on every purchase and up to 10 per cent back on purchases made with an Emirates NBD credit or debit card. Gitex Shopper visitors who spend more than Dh5,000 can spin the wheel on the EMAX stand for a chance to win an iPhone XS Max.
5. Bag an Honor 8X Full View phone and get a state-of-the-art Honor Smart Scale, as well as the cost of event entry back, while stocks last. Spend Dh999 on the brand-new Android, 6.5" Full View phone, with 128Gb memory and a 20MP AI dual camera, and receive the Smart Scales - which sync up with phones to provide up to 10 users with all their vital health statistics - worth Dh199, for nothing. The free Smart Scale will be constantly updated with other Honor products offering great deals throughout the weekend.
6. Avid gamers should head to MSI, the Taiwanese company that has been pioneering true gaming rigs since 1986, where all the prices on the company's range of hi-end 'thin bezel' gaming laptops are heavily discounted.

Visitors to the stand can also register to get a chance to win a Gaming NB.
