Availability and Price of Honor Smartphones in Nepal
Honor phones are available in offline retail stores only for now. Their authorized service center is available on the 4th floor of CTC Mall. Here is the summary table of 4 first Honor smartphones.
- Honor 7S: Rs 15,490
- Honor 7A: Rs 18,490
- 64 GB Honor 8X: Rs 32,490
- Honor 8X 128 GB: Rs 36,490

Stand out feature: Dual 4G and Dual VoLTE
It’s worth noting that all of these smartphones including the entry-level one support Dual 4G technology. Dual 4G allows the dual SIM card slot to support 4G at the same time so that you can switch between two SIMs for 4G without much delay. Before, when there was no dual 4G, you can just put one SIM in 4G and other in 3G/2G mode. Just like Dual 4G, 3 out of 4 smartphones (except the Honor 7S) support Dual VoLTE, which makes it easy to switch calls from the dual SIMs using VoLTE.
Although it is great to find new phone brands in Nepal, it should come at affordable rates. The blog sphere and even the public are now aware of the price of such phones globally. Honor phones with their superior performance and superb design will definitely grab people’s attention and lure them to buy. But for a massive reach, Honor will have to make the phones affordable. Hope the prices will come as people expect for the second batch products. We also expect them to release Honor Magic 2 here in Nepal soon.
