Mobilink to Launch HTC Butterfly and Nexus 4 in Pakistan

After Ufone’s announcement of launching Galaxy S4 exclusively in Pakistan, it is now reliably learned that Mobilink has decided to take up the challenge by introducing two Smartphones in the country.

One of them is the Google’s flagship device Nexus 4 and other one is HTC Butterfly, we have confirmed with sources.

Though it is kind of late for Mobilink to offer this device in Pakistan, but good news is that Mobilink is offering this phone at a discounted price of Rs. 43,000 and to sweeten the deal further a data bucket of 2 GB for 90 days and 15 days Mobile music free trial is added to the package.

Nexus 4 will be available on Mobilink Business centers starting tomorrow, i.e. April 26th, 2013.

HTC Butterfly

Price and Availability:

Though we were hoping that HTC Pakistan will bring the much awaited flagship device HTC One in Pakistan, the real competitor of Galaxy S4. But seems like — after the announcement of HTC Butterfly — we have to wait a little longer now.

The specs of Butterfly are great but I am not sure if this device can stand against Galaxy S4.

Mobilink is going to launch this phone for a price of Rs. 70,000 with one year warranty of Brightex. Mobilink customers will also get, 1 GB mobile internet for 30 days, a Pouch and Screen Protector for free.

HTC Butterfly will be launched in Pakistan on May 2, 2013.
