Honor 100 series: Will it be coming to India?
Honor made a comeback to India with Honor 90, the predecessor of the Honor 100. Ideally, Honor should launch the successor to the Honor 90 in the country as most other companies do as well. Furthermore, Madhav Sheth, the current CEO of Honor India, did tell The Mobile Indian in an interview that the company will bring more of its Number series, X series, and Magic series smartphones to India.
As of now, nothing has been confirmed officially by the brand. Considering the Honor 90 did fairly well in our review, we feel the Honor 100, with all its upgrades in the battery and processor department, along with stereo speakers over a mono speaker, and more, will do well if it indeed launches in India.
Honor TWS to launch in India in Jan 2024?
As per sources, Honor plans to launch True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds in India soon. The launch is expected to take place in January 2024. It is worth noting that during the launch of Honor 90, the company offered the Honor Choice TWS X5 worth Rs. 5000 for free.
