Asked about the company's proprietary HarmonyOS and whether a new device running the OS is in the offing, Peng said: "This OS is for all our devices. The first product, as you know, is the Honor Smart Screen and the OS can work with all our products, including our handsets, smart trackers and smartwatches."

"This smart screen will launch in India soon," Peng said without divulging further details on the timeline.

Equipped with HarmonyOS, Honor unveiled its first smart screen called "HONOR Vision Series" at the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) in Dongguan City, China, last week.

Currently, 80-90% of the company's sales network is online but it expects to achieve a ratio of 80 per cent online and 20% offline sales soon. According to Honor, the India R&D centre in Bengaluru is the biggest globally that has a strength of almost 5,000 employees.

"We design our products from a global competence perspective -- from designing it in Paris, acquiring camera and optics input from Japan, manufacturing processes from Germany and software from India R&D facility," the company said.
