Honor unveils new tech advances

Honor, one of the twin signature smartphone brands owned by Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, unveiled a string of new technologies on Monday to demonstrate its continued efforts in pushing forward the technical boundaries for smartphones.

The move came as Honor achieved 150 percent year-on-year growth in overseas markets while maintaining its position as China's leading e-commerce smartphone brand.

Xiong Junmin, general manager of Honor products, said the company has developed Link Turbo technology, an artificial-intelligence-powered feature that allows simultaneous downloading via Wi-Fi and 4G networks for maximum throughput.
