Honor, along with its Honor X9b and other launches, also revealed a new website for Indian consumers at the address “ExploreHonor.com”. This new website offers users all the information about the latest launches from the brand and, most importantly, the correct information, as per Madhav Sheth, CEO of HTech, brand licence of Honor in India.
In an interaction with The Mobile India, Sheth said, “Our website will offer users the correct information” when asked whether the website would offer any exclusive content to the users. This statement looks quite loaded in the wake of recent controversy surrounding OnePlus.
For those unaware, OnePlus recently got involved in a controversy where it wrongly mentioned the storage of the 256GB model of the OnePlus 12R as UFS 4.0 on its website, whereas in reality, it was the older UFS 3.1 storage. The brand apologised for the miscommunication and asked existing buyers and those who pre-ordered the device to contact customer support for a solution.

Coming back to Honor, Sheth also confirmed that the company is currently evaluating the market to find out which Honor Magic series smartphone would be the ideal one for the Indian region. Honor Magic series consists of the brand’s top-end set of flagship smartphones, the latest addition to which was the Honor Magic 6 and the Honor Magic 6 Pro.
Sheth also said the brand is currently focusing on a leaner distribution in the offline market as of now because “the customer would have to bear any costs associated with expanding offline”.
Aside from these, Madhav also told us about the Android 14-based Magic OS 8.0 release timeline in India for the Honor 90 and the Honor X9b. Finally, he also confirmed the reason behind not offering the charger inside the box of the Honor X9b.
