Chinese budget phone maker Honor has signed partnerships with major chip suppliers such as Intel and Qualcomm after being spun off from under-fire parent Huawei Technologies in a bid to save it last year, it said on Friday.

As Chief Executive George Zhao launched the View40, Honor’s first phone model since the split, Honor said in a statement it now had its own deals with some tech firms.“The last five months have been an extremely difficult but meaningful time for Honor,” Zhao said. “We feel the weight of expectation from industry partners and consumers.”

The company also would pursue the ‘internet of things’ market, using Huawei’s terminology for connected smart devices controlled by mobile phones. Honor shipped 13.3 million phones in the third quarter of last year, making up just over a quarter of Huawei’s total shipments, according to Canalys.

I don't think the debate on the world stage is about Huawei, but rather about the CCP using it's technology brands to infiltrate foreign states?

I thought that Honor was a sub-brand of Huawei.

good luck
