Counterpoint’s Tarun Pathak commented that Honor has successfully rebuilt its smartphone business after parting ways from Huawei. Honor was able to restore ties with component providers and leveraged its strong R&D expertise to recover its positions in China. The Honor 50 series is a big part of the brand’s revival in the midrange segment while the Magic3 lineup has been well received in the flagship segment.
