Honor will once again bet on the Lite strategy! Will it be a good idea?

Do you still remember the time when all the reference manufacturers in the Android world had a “Lite” version on the market, in order to be able to offer a little of what their most expensive and premium device brought to the market, at a lower price? low?

For a long time, it was a winning strategy! With many consumers opting for the Lite model, in order to get their hands on a beautiful, well-built device, but of course, with some obvious compromises on the day-to-day performance side.

However, it is a strategy that eventually ended up disappearing, as consumers increased their level of demand. This is exactly why it is strange to look at Honor ready to invest in a Lite model in 2024. What has changed?

Honor will once again bet on the Lite strategy! Will it be a good idea?

Therefore, Honor now presents the new Magic6 Lite for the Portuguese market, a device that appears on the shelves with a design typical of a high-end device, a high quality screen, and of course, a rear module capable of incredible image captures .

It is one of the first devices from Honor’s highest range to arrive in Europe, a range that will be led by the already very popular Honor Magic6 Pro. It is also a device that seems to want to take the “Lite” nomenclature to new levels.
