HONOR Recruits Yinuo from Honor of Kings to Promote its New Phone

— December 28, 2024 — Tech
Mobile phone manufacturer HONOR has launched a new gaming phone production line, along with an influencer-approved marketing campaign. As part of this initiative, HONOR partnered with Yinuo, a prominent esports player from the Chengdu AG Gaming Club, who will be the brand ambassador for the new Honor GT phone line.

The collaboration aims to attract young esports enthusiasts. The Honor GT, currently available only in China, is a gaming-centric smartphone boasting a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution. Built on three core pillars—"next-generation technology, ultra-high performance, and pioneering design"—the Honor GT aims to offer a premium gaming experience tailored to today’s gamers.

"Yinuo’s remarkable achievements at the Hangzhou Asian Games exemplify competitive excellence and a relentless pursuit of perfection, core values that align seamlessly with Honor’s brand philosophy," said Eike Gyllensvärd, President of Global Esports and Gaming at SPORTFIVE.
