Honor Nepal drops the price of its low to mid-range budget smartphones — 8 in total — in Nepal. These include the Honor 7S, Honor 8S, Honor 8A, Honor 10 Lite, Honor 8X, Honor Play, and Honor 9X.
Honor brings a significant price drop in each of the aforementioned devices. Considering the budget range they sit in, this certainly seems to add more value for money proposition. Moreover, the price cut could be a hint to some upcoming plans of Honor, especially in a price-sensitive market like Nepal.
A number of Chinese smartphone makers have been continually bringing their smartphones with competitive pricing in the Nepalese market. As in the low to the mid-range budget segment, decent cameras on both front and back, reasonable battery size, ideal screen size with decent display technology, and lag-free gaming are some of the most sought after specifications by customers.
