Honor is a sub-brand of Huawei that brings devices specifically targeted at youths. The young brand has been quite successful in this role and has been able to capture its fair share in today’s competitive market.
Matter of fact, according to a report by Counterpoint Research, Huawei (including Honor brand) leads the Chinese smartphone market share growing to 36% in Q2 of 2019.
The likes of other Chinese brands like OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi, Meizu etc. are way behind in terms of market share in their home region. Besides, Honor is one of the fastest brands here in India.
Honor is also decent when it comes to pushing out security and firmware updates. Moreover, in a recent development, Honor has pushed the September security update for the Honor 9 Lite and 10 Lite.
Not only this, the Honor Watch Magic is reportedly also receiving a new update, that brings in the multiple fixes. Let us take a look at the update one by one.
