KUALA LUMPUR, 4 February 2026 – Global leading AI device ecosystem company HONOR marked a significant milestone with the celebration of its fifth anniversary in Malaysia, honouring the consumers who have been instrumental in driving the brand to the top of the local smartphone and tablet market. The occasion was commemorated at the HONOR of Malaysia 5th Anniversary Gala in Kuala Lumpur, which gathered loyal consumers, fans, partners, photographers, students and members of the HONOR ecosystem. The event reflected HONOR’s belief that its market leadership was achieved hand in hand with Malaysian consumers in a highly competitive technology landscape.
The gala recognised outstanding individuals whose long-standing support and active engagement have shaped HONOR’s journey since its early days in Malaysia. Consumers were celebrated across eight award categories, highlighting their contributions to product development, ecosystem enhancement and positive community impact. This consumer-centric approach has culminated in HONOR achieving the No.1 smartphone and tablet sell-out market share in Q4 2025, marking the peak of a five-year growth journey built on resilience, innovation and trust.
President of HONOR South Pacific, Justin Li, shared that the brand’s success was driven by its unwavering focus on consumers, noting that HONOR had achieved what felt like a decade of progress in just five years. He emphasised that HONOR’s stability and durability were co-created with Malaysians through real-world testing and feedback from local beta users, photographers and students, ensuring that its technology continues to meet the unique needs of the local market.
During the gala, HONOR also launched the HONOR of Malaysia Awards Project, a long-term corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at recognising ordinary Malaysians who dedicate their lives to serving society. The project was officiated by Teo Nie Ching alongside Justin Li, underscoring HONOR’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to the nation beyond technology innovation. In its inaugural phase, three individuals were honoured for their extraordinary contributions to society, with awards presented by Abdul Majid Ahmad Khan.
The recipients included Mohd Adli Yahya, founder of the Autism Cafe Project, who has empowered more than 100 autistic individuals through inclusive employment; Prakash Surriyamurthy, widely known as Cikgu Prakash, whose dedication to education continues to inspire despite his visual impairment; and Siti Normala Adrus, affectionately called Mak Jah, who provides affordable and free meals to students and low-income communities out of compassion and service.
Looking ahead, HONOR also announced initiatives supporting the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, including a National Photography Tour and a Global Exhibition in 2026 to showcase Malaysia’s landscapes, culture and stories through mobile photography. As HONOR enters its next chapter in Malaysia, the brand remains committed to building meaningful technology experiences together with consumers while uplifting the communities it serves.
