Neil Shah, partner at Counterpoint Research, said the company's focus on high-end devices and technology is likely to continue under the new leadership.
"Honor's focus on premiumization should continue if the brand wants to continue building its brand equity and differentiation point vs existing competitors, especially in premium markets such as Europe," Shah told CNBC.
"The focus on innovative foldable designs and advanced AI features and close partnerships with leading component suppliers would be key."
