Honor may bring its laptops to India this year

Honor is so far known as a smartphone manufacturer in India with a fleet of impressive devices that have changed the mobile phone market in the country. With phones like Honor 8 Pro, Honor 9 lite, Honor 9i, Honor 7X, Honor 10 and the recently launched Honor 7A and 7C, this young brand is making it clear that it is going to topple many past players.

A recent survey has even reported that Honor is the fastest growing smartphone brand in India with 146% of growth rate. Popular brands like Xiaomi and OnePlus are far behind and are feeling the heat. And it seems that Honor is not yet satisfied; they are planning to bring their brand of laptops to India pretty soon.

This is revealed by P Sanjeev, vice-president sales at Huawei India-Consumer Business Group himself. Huawei is the parent company for Honor and Mr Sanjeev shared this bit of information on the sidelines of the launch of the Honor 7A and Honor 7C. In a clear hint that Honor is looking to expand its product portfolio, we can expect to see some niche laptops in India in coming times.

Honor launched its first-ever branded laptop in China, the MagicBook last month. The Windows 10-powered Honor MagicBook costs couples of dollars less than Apple’s MacBook Air. It costs 4,999 yuan in China with Core i5 (approx. 54,000 INR) and 5,6999 yuan with Core i7 (approx. 61,000 INR). Honor phones have always been pioneers in innovative technology and we can expect the same from Honor MagicBook.
