Honor left Huawei behind in November last year when the former decided to sell its sub-brand to a Chinese group. Huawei has been ravaged by the US Ban preventing it from keeping its smartphones coming. In fact, the company had to do some magic to bring a single smartphone, what it could do with multiple lineups? The decision of selling Honor was to prevent the sub-brand from going to limbo and keeping its legacy alive. Honor, itself, tried to push its name forward as a kind of “new Huawei”, apparently this strategy is paying off as the brand has become the third-largest smartphone brand in China. The brand will launch its most successful smartphone in recent times – Honor 50 – in the European market on October 26.
Honor launched a bunch of smartphones already, but the first devices were mostly based on the work done while it was Huawei’s sub-brand. Recently, the company launched the Honor 50 series, and that marked the beginning of the brand’s revival in China. More recently, the brand unveiled the Honor Magic 3 with gorgeous flagships with super-advanced camera capabilities. Now, the original device behind Honor’s revival is coming to the European market in the fourth quarter of 2021.
According to the PR department of Honor, the Honor 50 will hit the United Kingdom and markets in the European Union. Other markets like Russia, UAE, Latin America, and Malaysia will get it at a later date. The specific region availability will be detailed later on.
