It seems like Huawei has a thing for playing with model names and numbers, but still this is becoming annoying. So you all know the Honor V9 dual camera beauty with Leica lenses OK? Well this model is planned to be unveiled – according to rumors – in the European market under a different name (no one knows why) and it will be Honor 8 Pro.
Well known leakster Roland Quandt informed us about it, saying that Huawei sent an invite (or a Save the Date) regarding the launch of a new smartphone in the European market on April 5. The press invite doesn’t exactly mention which phone Honor will be announcing but given the fact that the Honor 8 Pro didn’t make an appearance at this year’s Mobile World Congress like we were initially expecting, we believe that the aforementioned date is the one for it.
News? You reported this back on Feb 16…..
Personally, I am fed up with the name game. Worse yet is the spec differences for different markets. And regardless which color you prefer, that is the one which is not available. …..until 3 months after you begrudgingly bought a less liked color.
I really like the phones coming out of China because all of the dualSIM options you’ve got. Then they bring the phones, like the new P10 (Plus) to Europe… and then they kill the dualSIM feature in that market. WTF. Also… exclusively selling the Mate 9 PRO in central europe as 1395,- EUR Porsche Design sucks. Why can’t they just make 1 model of it and sell it everywhere the same. Ugh.
When honor 7 came out it was priced at £229 in the UK, and then they launched honor 8 at £369?!?! That is 62% increase in price!! Wtf!!
Cost is going up all the time on parts, due to the large demand.
Like it or not, nothing we can do about it. Flagship phones will continue to cost more and more as time goes by.
