As of 2016, George Zhao was global president of Honor. In November 2020, Honor was acquired by Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd.

Honor was founded in 2013 as a Huawei sub-brand with the aim of offering lower-cost products and targeting a younger audience than the parent company. Honor’s line of smartphones allowed Huawei to compete with mid-range online smartphone brands in China and globally. Honor primarily sells products online, but some Honor products are also available at stores in select markets.

In November 2020, the Honor brand was sold to Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology, a majority state-owned company controlled by the Shenzhen municipal government, to “ensure” its then-parent company, Huawei’s survival, due to US sanctions against them.
