SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Honor, the young, innovative and trendsetting brand born for digital natives under the Huawei Group, celebrated its fourth-year anniversary, reviewing its remarkable journey in China and overseas markets, and revealing the new chapter of its global expansion plan to fans and partners. It also officially launched its third "secret weapon" following the global launch in London in early December.

A Look Back at Honor's Past 4 Years of Success

"Currently, Honor’s overseas business contributes 15% of our total revenue. I expect continued growth in China, but even more aggressive growth overseas. And I anticipate half and half contribution on revenue by 2020, with overseas business surpassing sales in China by 2022." says George Zhao, President of Honor.
"Currently, Honor’s overseas business contributes 15% of our total revenue. I expect continued growth in China, but even more aggressive growth overseas. And I anticipate half and half contribution on revenue by 2020, with overseas business surpassing sales in China by 2022." says George Zhao, President of Honor.

Since Honor's birth four years ago, it has grown and accelerated at an incredible pace, rapidly setting a series of great milestones of success in both domestic China and overseas markets with its trendsetting product offerings.

Between January and November 2017, Honor shipped a total of 49.7 million handsets in China with sales exceeding US$10.9 billion, according to Sino-Market Research.  

In Russia and Finland specifically, Honor has achieved excellent results in the past two years. According to GfK, Honor's revenue and sales volume figures in Russia were among the top three mobile brands. In Finland, where the market was saturated with premium smartphone brands, Honor has managed to break through and now has the largest market share there.

Honor also realized incredible sales performance during major promotional seasons this year, including the "Singles Day" in China, during which Honor generated approximately $605 million in revenue on two China's largest e-commerce platforms Jingdong and Alibaba. Honor also showed its strength and popularity in Europe and the US with outstanding Black Friday shopping results. In France and Germany, Honor was the bestseller in smartphone category and had multiple devices represented on the top 10 bestseller list on Amazon, including the Honor 9 and the Honor 8 in France, and the Honor 6X in both France and Germany. In the US, the Honor 6X, one of our initial offerings in the US market, having debuted at CES 2017, became one of the top 5 bestsellers on Amazon in the unlocked smartphone category.

The large-scale success of the company could not have been achieved without Honor's commitment to product excellence; all of the products made by Honor are pioneers in three key areas: new technology, aesthetic design, and accessibility for the younger generation. Each of Honor's products is setting a trend in its own way, for examples:

  •   Honor 6P: an early exploration in bionic parallel dual-lens cameras;
  •   Honor 8: pushing the boundary of smartphone aesthetic design;
  •   Honor Magic: a pioneering demonstration of R&D efforts in artificial intelligence (AI);
  •   Honor View 10: a revolution in smartphone AI function.

Co-creating Style for the Young

Honor possesses a unique way to communicate with its audiences. With four years' of fan engagement with Honor's brand through various events and channels catering to youth, we have accumulated a huge fan base. That is the reason over 1,000 fans volunteered to take part in Honor's anniversary event this year, and our relationship with fans only gets stronger by the day.  

Honor's Global Goal

Honor plans to become one of the top five smartphone brands in the world within the next three years, and one of the top three within five years. "Currently, Honor's overseas business contributes 15% of our total revenue. I expect continued growth in China, but even more aggressive growth overseas. And I anticipate a fifty-fifty split in terms of revenue contribution by 2020, with overseas business surpassing sales in China by 2022," says George Zhao, President of Honor.

In order to provide the finest product user experience to its global audiences, Honor is always dedicated to crafting state-of-the-art products for the young generation. Moving forward, Honor will continue to optimize our product portfolio to provide an all-rounded experience to users with our four key product categories:

  • View series: the super-flagship and strong performer;
  • N (Digit) series: the flagship line with cutting-edge design and performance;
  • X series: trendy and premium features, with great accessibility;
  • Lite series: flagship-like features, with great accessibility.

At the event, Honor officially launched the Honor 9 Lite in China. Beautiful inside and out, the Honor 9 Lite is set to be the third stunner in the brand's latest series, sure to set off another wave of hype following the launches of the Honor 7X and the Honor View 10 in London earlier this month.

The Honor 9 Lite is not just a symbol of style, but also the perfect way to capture your life moments, with competitive dual-lens 13MP + 2MP cameras on both the front and back, and an expression of who you are, with its exquisitely designed 2.5D glass and 5.65-inch edge-to-edge FullView HD Display. The Honor 9 Lite offers flagship-like features and seamless performance to consumers at an irresistible price point. 

Following its China launch, the Honor 9 Lite will soon be debuting in global markets as well.
