Знакомство с Honor началось с Honor 10, я тогда не знал даже про этот бред, приобрёл телефон себе и начал изучать его функциональность. Спустя время привык к нему и пользовался до тех пор пока не вышел Honor 20. На столько он мне понравился. И вот уже который год я пользуюсь Honor, и 30 и 30 pro были, и View 30... Отличные телефоны. Минус один. Это отсутствие плей маркета. Да и то, только потому что с авто обновлениями проблема. Но это в 30 семействе. В 10ке было все отлично.
