Following Honor’s split from Huawei, we expected there will be changes in the former’s business model. Now those changes have come, as a new leak from a reliable source has revealed that Honor has revamped its product lineup.

The source of the info is Teme (特米) who goes by @RODENT950 on Twitter. He is known for his Huawei and Honor-related leaks and has a great track record so far. Nevertheless, we advise that until there is an official confirmation, you should take the info with a pinch of salt.

According to the leaker, Honor will only have one flagship line now, a reduction from the three it had before. For those who don’t know, the three Honor flagship lines are the Honor Magic series, Honor V series, and the Honor Numerical series (Honor 10, Honor 20, Honor 30 series).

Going forward, the Magic series will be its only premium/high-end/flagship line. We already know Honor has two Magic phones planned for this year – the Honor Magic 3 and a foldable Magic phone that has been reported will launch as the Magic X.

The Honor Numerical (Digital) series such as the upcoming Honor 50 series will be its premium mid-range line while the Honor X series (Honor X10) will remain its mid-range line. The Honor Play line will now be its budget/low-end/entry-level line. We have already seen that the Honor Play series is no longer a premium mid-range line with phones like the Honor Play 20 and the Honor Play 5T, though the Honor Play5 is a proper mid-range device with its OLED display, 66W fast charging support, and 64MP quad cameras.

The Honor V series which is sold outside China as the Honor View series is said to have been discontinued like the Honor Note series. This means the Honor V40 and Honor V40 Lite are the last of the V series.
