PRESS RELEASE

LONDON, May 16, 2018 – Honor launched the Honor 10, its flagship smartphone for 2018, yesterday in London.

Following the launch, which saw Honor reveal two major ground-breaking and industry-leading smartphone technologies, including advanced AI technology and the new Honor 10 CMF[1] design, the Honor 10 device saw unprecedented sales performance in markets across Europe.

The Honor 10 went on sale at 4pm yesterday across Europe and sold out in just six hours on hihonor.com in Spain. The Honor 10 Phantom Blue sold out on day one in France on the hihonor site. 

The reaction to the AI camera technology, unique design and high-end specifications at unrivalled value meant Honor 10 sales soared on launch day. 

Over 80,000 Honor social media subscribers also took advantage of the smartphone’s day one offer of a €30 coupon that meant they could snap up the Honor 10 from just €369.90. 

George Zhao, President of Honor who launched the Honor 10 in London, said ‘we’re delighted at fans’ reaction to our new flagship device. We are always listening to our fans and we co-created the Honor 10 taking on board their feedback. We knew they would love the unique design, AI photography features and unrivalled value.’

The London launch brought to life the concept of “Beauty in AI” and revealed two major ground-breaking and industry-leading smartphone technologies to consumers. The first is the advanced AI 2.0 technology, applied chiefly to the smartphone’s dual camera. Second is the Honor 10 CMF[2] design, a 3D glass back with a stunning nano-scale optical coating composed of 15 layers of shimmering ‘phantom’ colour.

The Honor 10 is still available for £399.99 from HiHonor.com/UK, Three UK Stores and online, Carphone Warehouse, Argos, Amazon, and AO.
