Huawei has decided to go for a change of look and launch Honor in Europe, an independent and new brand. Chinese manufacturers of high-end devices want to distance themselves from the bad press of the label “made in China”.

Lately, manufacturers like Xiaomi and Oppo are fighting against that reputation, offering high end terminals with competitive prices. Huawei wants to secure a position among Asian brands to revive its image and has chosen a completely Western name for Europe.

The marketing strategy, however, is completely different from the OnePlus One. In this case, Huawei has confirmed that there won’t be problems of stock and we can already buy those devices on Amazon. The terminals are not linked to a carrier, and the company has no intention to sign an agreement with any operators to include those devices in their catalogs.
