Madhav Sheth teases Honor comeback in India: Honor 90 could be first

We recently reported that Honor was plotting a return to the Indian market sometime next month. Now, we have confirmation that the brand is making a comeback in the world's second largest smartphone market.

Several rumours have been linking Madhav Sheth to Honor since he stepped down from his role as CEO of Realme India. And now, Sheth has taken to social media teasing a Honor comeback in India.

Honor returns to India

The former Realme India CEO reposted a tweet from the Twitter handle @HonorTechIndia with a poster that asks Indians to get ready for a "new era of innovation". The brand has been out of the spotlight in the country for a while now since Huawei's Google ban back in 2019.

However, since going independent, Honor has managed to retain Google's mobile services and has been plotting its comeback in international markets. Sheth has long-been rumoured to join Honor since his departure from Realme.

Honor had also filed a trademark "Honor For Knights" with Madhav Sheth as the proprietor last month. While Honor has not confirmed about the device in question arriving next month, it is rumoured to be the Honor 90.
