Big demand for smartphones

Huawei has sold over 10,000 units of the new mid-range smartphones Honor G Play, Honor 4X and Honor 6 Plus within a span of seven days in Sri Lanka, a company spokesman said.

According to industry statistics, Huawei with its exclusive national distributor Singer Sri Lanka achieved this milestone because the new Honor range catered to the mid-market with features on a par with high-end smartphones.

During the launch in Colombo, Huawei positioned the product for the discerningly bold, challenging the spirit of an individual and helping them to "be who you are, and not who the world wants you to be".

Since its launch in May last year, Huawei's mid-range smartphone family including, Honor 3C and Honor Holly has so far sold over 55,000 units in Sri Lanka. With the introduction of the G Play, 4X and the 6 Plus it is expected to triple sales volume..

Country Head, Huawei Devices, Sri Lanka, Henry Liu said, "We are thrilled with the new statistics and even more happy to see how well the local consumers have embraced it.

All Honor devices share three basic DNA qualities, smart image technology, long battery life and remarkable craft. This is a perfect match with the lifestyle of the discerningly bold."

Marketing Manager, Huawei Sri Lanka, Stanley Mascarenhas said, "We invite customers to visit any of the Huawei outlets islandwide to pre-order and gain first-hand experience of the new Honor smartphone range".

Huawei is currently the number two smartphone brand in Sri Lanka and is set to become the island's number one smartphone brand within the next few quarters, he said.
