Red, a common color used in Chinese festival celebrations, represents happiness and liveliness. Compared to the profound black and white, red also stands for passion and boldness. As a color with positive and auspicious connotations, red is often seen in product designs in China.
Honor ID manager said at the event that the Honor 8X series was able to pay a tribute to classic designs by using a segmented production method to apply the most appropriate and coordinated color proportions to the surface. By adopting a scientific approach to design aesthetics, Honor 8X strikes the right balance between functionality and beauty.
