Honor has recently launched its newest Android smartphones, including the premium Magic7 Pro and 7 RSR, in the global market. However, this appears to be the last major product release for Zhao Ming, also known as George Zhao, as the CEO of the company.
Zhao’s Departure
The company’s board has accepted Zhao’s resignation, which he states was for personal reasons and not an easy choice. Since 2015, he has guided Honor through its significant public separation from Huawei and has played a key role in re-establishing the brand as a notable player in the personal device market. Zhao aimed to compete with giants like Apple while avoiding trends like camera co-branding.
New Leadership
In recognition of Zhao’s “outstanding contributions,” Honor has announced that Jian Li will take over as CEO. Jian Li has a history with Huawei, which adds an interesting twist to the leadership change. Honor promises to keep offering innovative products and experiences to users worldwide under this new management.
MagicOS 9.0 Update
To celebrate the Lunar New Year in China, Honor has also introduced a new update for MagicOS 9.0. This update includes an anti-travel sickness display feature, unique Spring Festival photo watermarks, lockscreens, and improvements for telephoto lenses on compatible devices.
However, this update is limited to a select range of smartphones, including all models in the Magic7, Magic6, Magic5, Honor 300 (including the new Ultra variant), and Honor 200 series.
