Earlier today, Honor confirmed to launch the HONOR X30 in China on December 16. At the same time, one of the brand executives shared some facts about the HONOR X lineup. He talked more about the HONOR 3X precisely.

Jiang Hairong (aka Harrison) is the CMO of Honor. A few hours back, this exec revealed that the brand has sold over 90 million units of HONOR X series smartphones worldwide to date. The number stood at 80 million units in May 2020.

On top of that, he disclosed that there are still over 40,000 active users of HONOR 3X. For those unaware, this handset made its debut in December 2013, which makes it an 8-year-old phone.

It is fascinating to learn that there are still people out there using this old piece of technology as their daily driver. Not only the smartphone’s hardware and software are slow in today’s time, but they are also incapable of running modern applications.

The executive also shares a story of a meteorologist whose first Honor smartphone was an HONOR 3X. This phone didn’t die like other handsets carried out by his teammates in an expedition involving extreme cold weather conditions. The device helped them to contact their homes.

Although Honor markets the durability of its products and the trust of its customers with this announcement, there’s no denying that there are people in the world who could not upgrade to a newer smartphone.
