Here is the machine-translated text of what Zhao shared on Weibo. He said, “2021 is the year when Glory starts its independent growth and welcomes the return of smiles. It is also a year of gratitude. Thanks to all the friends who accompanied, encouraged, and supported Glory. We are well aware that the mobile phone market has never been a top game, but a never-ending technological breakthrough.”

“In 2022, competition in the market will become more intense, and the only way to win the respect and recognition of consumers is to continue to make breakthroughs and innovations. Honor always adopts an entrepreneurial mentality and adheres to the concept of extreme productism to create products and experiences that exceed consumer expectations. Despite the hard work, the mad sand is blown out before the gold is reached. I wish you all a happy new year and always smile!” As can be seen in the above screenshot, Zhao used the unannounced Honor Magic V to write the Weibo post.
