As you probably already know, Huawei is having a bit of trouble dealing with bad PR, which in turn is taking a toll on their global business. It's been a rough year for the company and it looks like there's still a lot of work that needs to be done to get back on their feet.

However, there's a new report which claims that the company is considering selling off the Honor brand. Yes, the same has been reported by one of the most reliable analysts in the industry, Ming-Chi Kuo.

If the new owner of Honor is based outside of China, then it could regain access to major hardware and software suppliers which were lost earlier due to the trade sanctions. Huawei has dismissed these claims and says it is committed to supporting Honor.

Kuo believes that the sale of the Honor business will be a positive move for Honor, more so than it is for Huawei. Once Honor is off Huawei's shackles, it'll be able to make a name for itself in the market and will be able to develop high-end phones.

For Huawei, however, it's not good news because letting go of Honor means they'll have to lose one of its most promising divisions. We can only imagine the kind of impact it'll have on the already trembling state of the company. Let's see how this all unfolds in the future.
