Honor, which is the sub-brand of the smartphone giant Huawei, is planning to bring its popular Honor 8 Pro smartphone to India in the first week of July. This new smartphone was actually first launched in Russia and India may well be the second country to get the new device. Sources suggest that a fourth generation dual camera technology will be shipped on the device. This will also improve the camera’s performance as well. The smartphone is essentially the Honor V9, which was launched in China.
