In a recent interview, Honor CEO Zhao Ming said that now that they are no longer limited by Huawei's restrictions, their main goal for the year is to launch flagship devices that can compete with Apple and Huawei. The main thing is that Honor will not repeat the fate of its former parent company and will not attract the attention of the US government. He goes on to add that they are confident they can outperform their competitors, including former parent company Huawei.
After the announcement of Honor V40, the company is also going to introduce the Honor 40 flagship smartphones and the new Honor Magic series of phones. It is also expected to announce the global version of Honor V40, which will be equipped with Google services.
The main focus seems to be on flagships, but Honor is unlikely to leave the mid-range and entry-level categories behind. Honor 10X Lite, Honor 9A and Honor Play 4 are expected to have successors this year. Also, apparently, we are waiting for new tablets.
Honor also plans to enter new markets. The head of the company said that he is aware of the importance of producing competitive products, so Honor plans to strengthen its research and development department as well. The company should have no problems accessing Google components and mobile services.
Europe is one of the key markets and Honor's CEO is confident that the company will succeed in this and other markets.
