It is no news that Honor is no longer a Huawei company, and to further emphasize that, Huawei has delisted all Honor products from its Vmall online store.
If you head to Vmall.com and search for Honor, you get a message that says that “Honor related products have been removed…”. If you want to purchase Honor products, you will have to go to the manufacturer’s own online store via its official website, HiHonor.com.
The link to the Honor online store which was announced on January 12, is currently giving a 404 error. We want to believe the site is under maintenance. ITHome reports that aside from the website, there is also a WeChat app version of the store but a proper mobile app is yet to be announced.
The Honor Mall will sell the brand’s smartphones, tablets, smart displays, notebooks, earphones, and smartwatches. It has been reported that the 75-inch Honor X1 Smart Screen is already listed for purchase there and also opened registration for the new Honor MagicBook notebooks and Honor V40 smartphone scheduled to launch on January 22.
Honor used to be a subsidiary of Huawei before but the latter’s ongoing battle with the US has greatly affected its business. Last November, Honor was sold to Zhixin New Information technology Co. Ltd – a company formed from a consortium of more than 30 agents and dealers of the Honor brand, and Shenzhen Smart City Development Group Co. Ltd.
Honor has been in talks with chip manufacturers, MediaTek and Qualcomm, for chip supply. The manufacturer says it plans to ship more than 100 million smartphones this year and it can only do that if its chip supply and supply chain, in general, is not cut off.
