I've seen a lot of discussions about Honor lately, and I've always been curious about the product strategy behind this brand that positions itself as "high cost-performance + tech-savvy." Do they prioritize hardware cost control first and then work on software experience, or do they optimize hardware and software simultaneously? Where does this balance usually get stuck?
What's the trick behind the product positioning of brands like Honor?

Just got my hands on the Honor Magic6 Pro the other day and now I totally get what everyone’s talking about, bro. You know how people are always like, “This much for this price?” Well, that’s exactly Honor’s game plan. I was just looking at the price tag at first, thinking, “Cool, a 2K-screen phone for cheap,” but once I had it in my hands, I realized how perfectly the hardware and software are locked together.
The software side blew me away, especially the AI camera—it’s so smart that even when I’m shooting in pitch-black night mode, the photos look like they were taken in daylight. You’d never tell the difference. And here’s the crazy part: they’re actually using what’s basically a “mid-range” platform under the hood—I was guessing it’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2—but the price is so reasonable. So yeah, it’s like this: they optimize the hardware to keep costs low, then push the limits with software that makes you forget it’s not a flagship. That’s the sweet spot—balancing cost and performance just right.
