Restart overseas markets
In November 2020, due to well-known reasons, Glory announced its independence, and the supply chain, products, channels and other aspects are facing reintegration, which also brought glory to the darkest moment in the first half of this year.
In the domestic market, Honor’s market share reached 16.7% when it peaked, but it fell to less than 3% at the beginning of this year; in overseas markets, Zhao Ming once admitted frankly that Honor’s market share had almost dropped to zero at one time.
In August of this year, Zhao Ming revealed that the Honor 50 series is preparing for overseas shipments and sales. On October 26, with the Honor 50 series as the first shot, Honor officially restarted the overseas market.
The Honor 50 series released this time includes two models of Honor 50 and Honor 50 Lite, while the Honor 50 mobile phone includes four different styles of color matching: First Snow Crystal, Mo Yuqing, Bright Black and Honor Code. It will be launched in France in early November. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belarus, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq have successively launched sales, and will land in more than 40 overseas countries in the future.

Can the domestic growth curve be copied?
The Honor 50 series has a special meaning for Honor.
In the period of strategic adjustment just after independence, Honor urgently needed a competitive product to restore the confidence of users and distributors, and the world’s first Honor 50 series equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor played this role.
According to the data, the Honor 50 series officially opened for sales in China within one minute and exceeded 500 million yuan in sales. On the day of the first sale, it created new sales records online and offline, which helped the domestic market share of Honor to rebound rapidly.

The support he gave is the extreme productism of two-wheel drive.
