Honor launches the Honor 10, its flagship smartphone for 2018, today in London. The launch will bring to life the concept of “Beauty in AI” and reveal 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 design, a 3D glass back with a stunning nano-scale optical coating composed of 15 layers of shimmering colour.
The Honor 10 is exclusive to the Three UK network on pay monthly advanced plans from £31 per month for 4GB of data or £40 per month for 30GB of data, with no upfront handset costs, or on Pay As You Go – available in Three stores or online from Thursday 17th May.
The handset is also available SIM-free for £399.99 from Carphone Warehouse, Argos, the HONOR online store hihonor.com, Amazon, AO, Very.co.uk and John Lewis from 15th May [16:00 BST].
“We believe the recipe of success is simple – give consumers a really good product! That’s what we work hard for every day at Honor,” said George Zhao, President of Honor. “But we don’t just stop at making a good product. We want to co-create a new lifestyle with young people worldwide. We listen to them, we bounce ideas around with them, and we cheer for them. They are our inspiration, and the reason we created the Honor 10, with its AI photography features and exquisite design.”
Wilkin Lee, Honor UK Sales and Marketing Director adds “The new Honor 10 handset features the latest AI technology and newest camera features. Sleek, easy to use and high-performing; we’re proud to have created a handset that reflects the needs and wants of our customers.”
