Does Honor mobile phone have infrared remote control function?

The infrared remote control function is a hardware configuration. Some Honor phones have it. The Honor phones that support infrared include: Honor V20, Honor 10, Honor V10, Honor 9, Honor V9, Honor 8, Honor V8, Honor 7, Honor 6 plus, Honor Play 4X, Honor 6, etc.

The most common application scenario is to remotely control TV, air conditioner and other equipment through infrared. This function is very practical. Through infrared, you can avoid a lot of troubles with home appliance remote controls.

The infrared function of mobile phones allows mobile phones to exchange information with other related devices. Infrared can control devices such as televisions, air conditioners and computers, provided that both parties have infrared.

Infrared can also be used for data transmission, but it cannot be too far away, must be aimed in the right direction, and there must be no obstacles in the middle. At present, infrared technology is mainly used for short-distance point-to-point linear data transmission, and the transmission rate is very fast.

What is the difference between Huawei and Honor?

Huawei and Honor have different routes, different positioning, different logos, different historical missions, different sales targets, and different pricing. Huawei mainly targets high-end consumers, while Honor phones are mainly sold to the younger generation, such as students and people who have just graduated and started working, so the price is relatively cheaper.

Huawei mainly sells offline, tending towards fashion and business. When Honor was founded, it focused on online sales, mainly through online channels.

Huawei phones are mid-to-high-end, with prices ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Honor phones are mid-to-low-end, so prices are relatively low, generally below 3,000 yuan.

The logos of Huawei and Honor are also different. Huawei (HUAWEI) is aligned with the group image, while Honor (HONOR) is more oriented towards the younger market, reflecting its characteristics as a technology fashion brand.
