Alongside Honor 7C, the Honor 7A is launching in India on May 22, Gadgets 360 has learnt. Sources also tell us that both new smartphones will be exclusively available for purchase in the country via Flipkart. Earlier this week, Huawei brand Honor sent out an invite for an event that suggested the launch of the Honor 7C. The ‘Save the Date’ invite that specified the launch of a new Honor 7 series handset didn’t confirm any model that the Chinese brand is planning to bring to the Indian market. A teaser posted on the official Honor India account on Twitter, however, pointed to the launch of the Honor 7C by showcasing its front. The brand is also using a #LoveSeven hashtag through all its social media channels in the country to create the hype before the formal announcement.
The India launch details of the Honor 7A and Honor 7C surface just after the debut of the Honor 10 that took place on Tuesday, May 15. Interestingly, just like the Honor 7A and Honor 7C, the Honor 10 will also go on sale exclusively through Flipkart.
