From today O2 is partnering with HONOR to offer new and existing customers the latest HONOR 200 Series smartphones, available online and in O2 stores.
Offering customers even more choice and variety, O2 is now offering HONOR’s latest premium smartphones, the HONOR 200 Series to its handset portfolio for the first time.
Bond Zhang, CEO at HONOR UK & Irelandsaid: “HONOR is committed to bringing both innovation and choice to UK consumers and we are delighted to partner with O2 who share our vision to disrupt the UK smartphone market. At HONOR, we push the boundaries when it comes to offering premium smartphones with capabilities our competitors are yet to match, particularly when it comes to performance, durability and camera, so we are very pleased to now be able to bring these products to O2 customers.”
Christian Hindennach, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Media O2 said: “Providing our customers with choice and flexibility is at the heart of our mobile offering. From Priority perks to inclusive EU roaming and a brilliant selection of popular handsets to choose from, we’re always looking to give our customers the very best. The introduction of the HONOR 200 Series is great news for our customers and comes at the perfect time for those looking to shake things up with a new handset this summer.”
The introduction of the 200 Series on O2 marks the third operator partnership for HONOR, which has experienced the fastest growth in consumer demand across the UK and Europe. Insight from research agency Searchabull ranks HONOR as the UK brand with the fastest growth after consumer search demand for HONOR grew +85% to date this year in the UK, against an industry trend of -1%**.
