KUALA LUMPUR, March 14, 2017 – honor made history in Malaysia with its first honor Lite series introduced locally, the honor 9 Lite – record-breaking sales in the smartphone category on Shopee in terms of daily sales and over 2,500 units sold in just six hours through the Shocking Sale Campaign on Shopee and vMall. The outstanding sales performance of the honor 9 Lite also makes it honor’s best-selling online model in Malaysian history since its inception just over four years ago.

“For such a young brand in Malaysia, we are truly honoured and thankful for the tremendous support we have gotten from our fans and customers, this means a lot. The historic success of the honor 9 Lite proves that we are going in the right direction and fulfilling the needs of the local audience,” said Zhao Zhiwei, Head of honor Malaysia.

Zhao continued by saying, “Our success is also based on the strategic partnerships and collaborations we have formed with local partners of culture, technology and art and we will continue to do so.”

The honor 9 Lite features a dual-lens 13MP+2MP camera on both the front and rear, the first four camera phone for honor which allows users to capture crystal clear and stunning images anytime, anywhere and anyway. The honor 9 Lite is powered by the Kirin 659 processor and is equipped with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage (expandable up to 256GB).

Starting March 20, honor will continue to create excitement with honor’s Fashion Festival which will take place on both vMall and Shopee when customers purchase the honor 9 Lite.
