“Good things come in pairs” is a very common phrase in China, since in this culture the number two means harmony and luck. For this reason, it is very special for HONOR to celebrate its second anniversary as an independent brand.
“As we projected from day one as an independent brand, this second year everything is going in perfect harmony, since in Panama we expanded our product portfolio to create a more nourished intelligent ecosystem for all users in the country,” said Ana Grimaldo. , Manager of Public Relations and Communications of HONOR Central America.
For his part, David Moheno, director of Public Relations and Communication at HONOR LATAM commented that “HONOR’s growth has not only occurred at the product level, because while in its first year it opened eight markets in Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Chile, Bolivia, Guatemala and Ecuador), for its second year three countries were added: Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador”.
Similarly, globally, HONOR increased its workforce by more than 50%, from 8,000 in 2020 to 13,000 in 2022, of which 60% are from the Research and Development (R&D) area.
In addition, it already has seven R&D centers, more than 100 innovation laboratories and more than 300 of its own patents. All this distributed in different regions worldwide.
A path that is paying off
Before becoming independent, HONOR was born as a brand for the younger generation. However, two years ago it took a turn, thus taking a step towards the premium market to offer state-of-the-art technology and elegant designs in products for everyone.
In this way, during the first year, HONOR announced its first smartphones in Panama, the HONOR 50. The arrival of these smartphones surprised more than one, since they not only integrated a premium design and an incredible camera system to capture every moment , but they would have Google Mobile Services (GMS) and along with them the Google Play Store in order to download the most popular applications and games of the moment.
At that time, it was announced that HONOR would launch the latest technology to meet the daily digital needs of all people and thus facilitate their activities. Until now, the brand has complied with it and every day is positioned in the taste of consumers.
What comes for HONOR
Iconic global technology brand HONOR remains steadfast in its promise to expand its product portfolio in different categories such as smartphones, wearables, laptops, and audio devices. All of this with state-of-the-art technology so that all people in Panama have access to the best in the market and live truly intelligent experiences.
In fact, a few weeks ago HONOR unveiled its first flagship foldable, which would reach markets outside of China: the HONOR Magic Vs, which dazzles because it is exceptionally thin and light, with a thickness of only 12.9mm when folded and a weight of 261g.
The new folding integrates a premium and symmetrical design, as it features a super-lightweight gearless hinge made with one-piece casting processing technology, which drastically reduces the number of supporting structure components used in the folding hinge. 92 to 4, maintaining its durability and robustness. This leads to the fact that when folded, the HONOR Magic Vs does not leave any space in the center. It is worth mentioning that the smartphone is capable of withstanding more than 400,000 folds, which is equivalent to more than ten years of use with 100 folds per day.
