TAIPEI -- China's Honor, the former budget brand of Huawei Technologies, launched its first smartphone geared for the global market on Thursday since being spun off from its embattled parent to skirt U.S. export controls on vital components.
Honor's Magic 3 series will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 Plus 5G Mobile Platform, the U.S. chipmaker's top-of-the-line mobile processor.
