Huawei's sub-brand Honor is set to launch "Honor 8C" smartphone in India today. The phone is already available in China at a price of CNY 1,099 (roughly Rs. 11,200) for the base 4GB RAM/ 32GB variant and CNY 1,399 (around Rs. 14,200) for the one with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. Thus, we can expect Honor to price the smartphone in the competitive sub-Rs. 15,000 price segment in India.The device will have 4,000mAh battery and 6.26-inch Notch FullView Display. Packed with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, the mid-price segment device is expected to come in two memory variants -- 4GB RAM+64GB and 6GB RAM+64GB.
Earlier this month, Huawei launched "Honor 10 Lite" with 6.21-inch display with a resolution of 1080px2340p -- powered by 2.2GHz Octa-Core and 4GB RAM for Rs 21,990. The company has claimed to have sold over 1 million units of Honor products during the Diwali festive period, with "Honor 9N" and "Honor 8X" being the most popular products on Flipkart's Big Billion Days and Amazon India respectively on the first selling day.
Along with the smartphone the company is also expected to launch Honor Band 4. The Honor Band 4 succeeds the Honor Band 3 and is a rival to the Xiaomi Mi Band 3. Xiaomi had launched the Mi Band 3 in India in September at INR 1,999.The Honor Band 4 is said to launch in India exclusively via Amazon.in, just like the Honor 8C. In China, the Honor Band 4 is priced at CNY 199, which translates to approximately INR 2,000. However, we do not expect the fitness band to be nearly as affordable in India. Honor had launched the Honor Band 3 in India in July last year at INR 2,799. Since the Honor Band 4 offers several key upgrades over the Honor Band 3, it will likely be priced closer to the INR 3,000 mark. The fitness band is sold in three colors in China: Black, Blue, and Pink.
