Honor is currently busy prepping for the launch of Honor 500 smartphones. But before the reveal, the company shared some numbers on how well its predecessor had done in terms of sales.
The company’s President of Sales and Service, Wang Ban, announced that the Honor 400 series has surpassed 6 million global shipments. In the same post on Weibo, he also dropped the first official teaser for the upcoming Honor 500 series, which is rumored to feature an “iPhone Air–like” design.
The Honor 400 series was first launched globally on May 22 this year, followed by its China release on May 28.
The phone’s sales jumped 195% compared to the Honor 300 series and 138% higher than the Honor 200 lineup in China. This was Honor’s best first-day sales performance in the past three years.
Honor 400 was also a hit globally
The momentum carried over to international markets, too. At its global debut, sales reportedly were two to three times higher than those of the previous generation.
By June 30, the Honor 400 series had already reached 1 million activations worldwide, making it the fastest Honor phone to cross that mark in nearly three years. By early September, that number climbed past 3 million, and now, the 6 million milestone confirms its lasting demand.
As for what’s next, the Honor 500 series appears to be just around the corner. While Honor hasn’t shared a specific date, Wang Ban’s recent teaser suggests the launch could happen before the end of this month.
Meanwhile, the Honor 500 series has been spotted in real life for the first time during the diving finals of the 15th National Games of China.
