Huawei’s best phones would return to Europe through Honor. A few days ago, Honor presented its new high-end mobile in China, a model that is speculated to arrive in Europe and other European markets in the second quarter of this year.
Huawei’s best phones would return to Europe through Honor
It seems that the sale of Honor to a Chinese conglomerate would have served the Huawei subsidiary to avoid the veto imposed on the parent company by Donald Trump‘s administration.
Honor has been a very well regarded brand in Europe for its approach to the youngest, with very competitive price proposals, in line with what Xiaomi did a few years ago. Now it seems that it wants to leap to the big leagues.
According to Reuters, Huawei, and Honor, now as independent companies, would be in negotiations for the former to sell the most relevant brands in its catalog to the latter.
Apparently, both companies have been negotiating such a sale for several months, although they have not agreed on the amount of the sale.
Mind you, a Huawei representative has denied this possibility, although as you know, that means absolutely nothing:
Huawei has learned that unfounded rumors are circulating about the possible sale of our flagship smartphone brands. These rumors have no credibility whatsoever.
We do not know if this could mean Huawei’s exit from the mobile market, at least from the high-end, because it would be complicated to use the same nomenclature inside China that Honor uses outside.
It is not clear that the firm is going to easily exit this sector since they were not in the same situation as, for example, LG.
