Huaweimay have only announced theHONOR 7 a week agobut the handset is already attracting a lot of attention. Earlier today, HUAWEI confirmed that thatits HONOR 7 smartphonehas attracted record interest from customers in the week since it launched inChinaand they plan to bring the handset toEuropelater this year.
In the week since the HONOR 7 launched, HUAWEI say the handset attracted 9 million pre-orders but to clarify these ‘pre-orders’, we spoke to Lars-Christian Wiesswange – who is Chief Engagement & Communications Office at HONOR Europe – who confirmed the pre-orders were customers who had placed an order but hadn’t yet paid for it.
To capitalise on the demand, HONOR has also confirmed that it plans to launch the HONOR 7 in Europe later this year, with a launch at September’s IFA 2015 the most likely venue to unveil the handset.
The HONOR 7 is a smaller version of the excellentHUAWEI Ascend Mate 7 phabletand offers a 5.2-inch Full HD display, all-metal build, octa-core Kirin 935 processor, 3GB RAM, 20MP rear camera and a fingerprint sensor located on the rear (just like the Mate 7).
The demand for HONOR’s handsets is seemingly not limited to just the HONOR 7, with the company confirming that the growth rate of its smartphone range is simply phenomenal. According to the brand, it sold 20 million smartphones last year (having been launched as HUAWEI’s e-commerce brand in 2013) and then sold a further 20 million in the first half of this year.
