Honor, a Chinese Smartphone brand, is all set to enter the Indian television industry with the launch of their Vision and Vision Pro Smart TVs. The Honor Vision smart TV was originally introduced in the brand’s home market of China in August 2019 and is expected to be released in India during the first quarter of 2020.
Honor claims that the Honor Vision is the world’s first smart TV with an artificial intelligence-powered pop-up camera. Also, it is the company’s first product to be powered by its in-house Harmony operating system.
