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.

Honor recently confirmed that its HONOR MALL will officially launch on January 12 in China. The company will henceforth offer its products and services through an independent platform. A new leak now reveals codenames of supposed other products that could launch on the occasion of HONOR MALL’s unveiling.

The latest leak was first spotted by a Weibo user @长安数码君 (via). Accordingly, a Home Page of the upcoming HONOR MALL reportedly reveals the following codenames of products:

• York
• Nobel D
• Bohr
• Locke
• Kanon

The webpage, which is down now, could have revealed the info mistakenly. Anyway, out of this, we know that the ‘York’ belongs to the upcoming Honor V40 smartphone. That said, while there is no information about other products’ codenames on the website, Honor MALL has already started teasing them on Weibo.

In the poster, Honor shows a silent preview of what to expect from the company which is now independent from Huawei. The poster hints that new products are coming soon and we can see Laptop, Smartwatches, Electric Massager(vibrator) and Toothbrush, and TV.

We already know that Honor has confirmed a 75-inch X1 Smart TV but we can safely expect more TVs and other smart products now from the company.

Either way, the Honor V40 series(likely 2 models- YOK-AN10 & NEW-AN10), which is probably the first phone from the new-HONOR, will likely launch on January 18 with an announcement happening earlier. The device is expected to feature a 6.72-inch FHD+ OLED 120/90Hz display.

Several reports say that it could sport a Dimensity 1000+ chipset, circular quad-camera setup with 50MP IMX700 or a 64MP sensor, 4,000mAh  battery with 66w Wired and 45/50W wireless charging.

Honor has just announced that it will be launching its own online shop, the HONOR Mall on the 12th of January 2021. The company made the announcement earlier today (5th January 2021) and will offer its products and services through this online store.

The Chinese tech giant made the announcement through a Weibo post, a Chinese microblogging website. For those unaware, this online store will have the company offer its HONOR-branded services and products. This would also have its very own after sales services as well. As per Honor officials, the company will closely work with its partners to provide safety upgrades and better after sales service for its various products.

The company had previously revealed that the HONOR Mall will launch sometime in January 2021, and now we finally have a confirmation on the date. In this store, the company’s Honor V40 will also be officially launched, although it was previously said to be on the same date as when the online channel goes live, new reports suggest a possible delay. Furthermore, this news also arrives as the brand separated from its former parent company, Huawei. So far, Honor branded products had been sold through Huawei’s official channels, so the move signifies its independence as well.

The company is also planning on launching a separate app for this online store, which will also reportedly carry forward users’ data from the Huawei Club. Although, that is still unconfirmed at the moment, so stay tuned for more as we will be providing more updates when additional information is available.

The post HONOR Mall to officially launch on January 12, will offer company’s products and services appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, a consortium of 30 agents in a joint statement said that it acquired Honor from Huawei. Accordingly, the new owner of the Honor brand is Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd. After this, the revamped company has been setting new targets, strengthening the supply chain etc. Now, it has officially said that a new HONOR Mall will go live early next year.

Despite being a separate brand, Honor‘s products were sold through Huawei’s channels. In fact, its official accounts previously redirected to Huawei’s Vmall which is the latter’s official store. However, that’s about to change now as the new HONOR Mall will launch on January 2021.

A poster depicting the same shows a range of products including smartphones, tablets, laptops, suggesting that the store will be a wholesome replacement of Vmall. In fact, it is sending signals that future products of HONOR Mall will be exclusive(via) and independent of its ex-sister.

To assert this, the poster says that the new Mall will provide shopping and services related to the HONOR brand. It says that users can do this via a new HONOR Mall App. Reports say that the company will launch this App prior to the availability of the service. And then, migrate the user contents(data) from the Huawei Club.

Recently, Zhao Ming, CEO of new Honor, in a meeting with fans said that the company will soon launch a flagship smartphone. On the occasion of the 7th anniversary, Zhao also said that HONOR-branded Mate and P series devices will join the portfolio. Also, it’s new Honor V40, which is mostly the first smartphone after the structural revamp, is poised to launch in mid-January of 2021.

This indicates that the device would arrive sometime around the HONOR Mall’s official launch. In any case, the Honor 2.0, as we can call it, is in talks with Qualcomm, MediaTek to procure the chipsets and has already said that there won’t be any impact in current operations, and after-sales support for its older devices.
