MTS has opened pre-orders for the HONOR 200 and 200 Pro smartphones with the AI-powered Harcourt portrait mode.
The day before the pre-order started, MTS presented the HONOR 200 and 200 Pro for the first time in Russia at its flagship store in Moscow. Guests of the event were able to test the device and learn about all the main trends of the new products.
We are seeing a high interest in smartphones in the low-price segment. In the first six months of this year, 1.8 million children’s smartphones were sold in Russia at a price of 50 thousand rubles more expensive, amounting to 165 billion rubles, which is 20% more in units and 32% more in money than a year earlier. The main driver of growth in the segment is brands from China, which are actively increasing their presence in this category.
Year-on-year growth of Chinese brands in the 50–70 thousand ruble category was 55% in units, in the 70+ thousand ruble segment they increased almost 3 times, the total sales volume in these segments increased more than 20 times. HONOR is one of the leaders in this category, this year alone we introduced the Magic V2 and Magic6 Pro models from this brand, which have proven themselves well and are already among the top popular devices.
We are confident that already at the start of pre-orders, HONOR 200 and 200 Pro will also be able to interest Russian consumers.
