At the end of Honor 30S launch event, Honor President Zhao George said that his brand performed well even during the hardest of times amid lockdowns due to the coronavirus outbreak in China. As per Strategy Analytics, global smartphone shipments fell 38% YoY in February but still Honor managed to secure the second position in the Chinese smartphone market.
February 2020 was the worst-performing month for smartphone makers in terms of YoY decline in history. The cause for it was none other than the infamous coronavirus outbreak which led to lockdown across China, the manufacturing hub of the world. Thus, supply chains and offline sales were severely disturbed.
But, according to Mr. Zhao, Honor has recovered rapidly since the beginning of March and it is even growing at a higher rate than the same period last year. He further boasts that Honor achieved a new record in difficult times by becoming the second largest smartphone brand in China.
At an event today, Honor unveiled its Honor 30S mid-range 5G smartphone, HiSilcion Kirin 820 5G chipset, Honor 9A budget smartphone with 5000 mAh battery, and a new ‘Robin Blue’ colour variant of FlyPods 3 noise cancellation TWS. All these products are slated to go on sale starting April 7.
