Chinese smartphone major Huawei’s consumer devices brand Honor, which launched three new Android-based smartphones Tuesday amid uncertainty over access to key services of Google-owned software platform, exuded confidence that it will continue to grow in the industry. “Honor will continue to work hard to bring out best innovation, best product and best technology for everybody and will continue to work to support the best experience to our customers. Honor will continue to grow in this industry and will continue to grow with young people,” Honor President George Zhao said while unveiling the Honor 20 series smartphones here.

In the latest March quarter, Huawei was the second largest smartphone vendor with global shipments of 59.1 million units and 19% market share, behind Samsung that had 71.9 million units shipment (23.1% share), according to the research firm IDC.
A product team official of Honor said that the three smartphones that were unveiled will be launched in India on June 11 and there is no change in schedule as of now.
Globally, the Honor 20 series has been priced in the range of 299 to 599 euro but India prices will be unveiled on June 11.
“Honor is a big family. I believe together we have to build future,” Zhao said after announcing the global price for the three models of the Honor 20 series.
The Honor had scheduled a media interaction with Zhao after its first global launch held here but cancelled it following the software ban imposed by the US government on its parent firm Huawei.
“We have cancelled all media interviews with President George Zhao because it is a sensitive time for us,” an Honor media team official told PTI.
The company official said that the Honor 20 series launch was not cancelled because it is a Google certified device and the US technology giant has said that it will continue to provide software updates to all existing devices from Huawei group.
