Here’s yet another flagship smartphone from Huawei
Yesterday, Huawei unveiled their new flagship handset, the Honor 8 Pro for European markets. At the product event, the company also launched a new budget mid-range phone, the Honor 6C.
The Honor 8 Pro is basically a rebranded Honor V9, which was launched two months ago in China. The Honor 6C is also a rebadged phone, known in China as the Honor Enjoy 6S. Huawei sure loves doing brand gymnastics with its products.
