Honor debuted as a sub-brand of Huawei in 2013. It entered the Indian market in 2014 and soon gained popularity because of its affordable pricing and value-for-money devices. In 2020, when it wrapped up its smartphone business in India, it launched a couple of phones, such as the Honor 9X Pro, Honor 9A, and Honor 9S. Due to the restrictions placed on Huawei by the United States government, Huawei sold Honor later that year to a consortium of Chinese companies. The brand has been active in China and some global markets. It did not completely disappear from the Indian market, as it has launched fitness trackers and tablets in recent years. A recent report revealed that the brand is planning to relaunch itself in the Indian market. It appears that the brand will announce a new phone in August.

According to a report that surfaced last month, Madhav Sheth, the former CEO of Realme, will be leading the Honor brand in India. In a new development, reliable tipster Mukul Sharma shared the following image of a trademark. As can be seen in the image below, the company has trademarked “Honor for Knights.”

The description of the listing reveals that it is associated with mobile phones and accessories. Interestingly, it even mentions Madhav Sheth as the proprietor. Furthermore, on platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, Sheth’s social media accounts feature a cryptic question that reads, “When is the KNIGHT coming?” This intriguing question has sparked curiosity among followers, raising speculation about the possible launch of a new Honor device.
