There’s a certain energy in the air when a brand hits its stride, and right now, HONOR Philippines isn’t just walking—it’s sprinting.
On December 20, 2025, I found myself amidst a sea of tech enthusiasts and excited mallgoers at SM City Manila. The occasion? A massive milestone that felt more like a victory lap: the grand opening of HONOR’s 200th store in the Philippines.
For those of us who have followed the brand’s journey over the last three years, this wasn’t just another ribbon-cutting. It was a statement of dominance.
A Rapid Rise to the Top
It’s hard to believe that only three years ago, HONOR was the “new kid on the block” re-establishing its identity. Today, they boast a perfectly balanced empire of 100 full-scale experience stores and 100 kiosks nationwide.
“I’m proud to say that we are now reaping what we have sowed over the past three years,” shared Stephen Cheng, HONOR Philippines Vice President, during the launch. “We are very young as a company, but our growth is like no other. Our 200th store is a true mark of our success.”
The event was a star-studded affair, attended by HONOR Philippines’ General Manager Mike Lee, National Sales Director Tom Yuan, and retail partners Charlie and Danna Mateo of CM Hi-Tech and Megapixel. Adding a touch of lifestyle flair were the “HONOR Stars” themselves, GMA’s power couple Shaira Diaz and EA Guzman, who stopped the crowd in their tracks with a soulful rendition of “Palagi.”
The Main Attraction: HONOR MagicBook X14 & X16 (2025)
While the 200th store was the reason for the party, the stars of the display tables were undoubtedly the newly launched HONOR MagicBook X14 and X16. If you’re a professional on the go or a student looking for a sleek upgrade, these machines are built to impress.
Here’s why they are currently topping my “recommend” list:
- Premium Build & Display: Both laptops feature a stunning, lightweight aluminum alloy body. The FullView Display (available in 14 or 16 inches) comes with TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free Certification—perfect for those of us who spend hours staring at screens.
- Performance that Keeps Up: Powered by the latest processors, these laptops are designed for multitasking. Whether you’re editing 4K video on the X16 or handling heavy spreadsheets on the X14, the performance is snappy and reliable.
- The Ecosystem Advantage: My favorite feature remains HONOR Connect. It allows for seamless collaboration between your HONOR smartphone and the MagicBook. You can drag and drop files, answer calls, and even use mobile apps directly on the laptop screen.
- Battery Life for the Long Haul: With 60Wh batteries, these devices are designed to last a full workday on a single charge, supported by 65W fast charging that gets you back to 100% in no time.
Why This Matters for You
The opening of the 200th store at SM City Manila is more than just a number; it means better after-sales support, easier access to the latest gadgets, and more locations where you can get hands-on experience with AI-driven tech before you buy.
From the smiles on the faces of the HONOR team—including Retail Manager Ivan Liao and SM Manila’s Roy Benedict Seguerra—it’s clear that the brand is just getting started. If the last three years were about planting seeds, the next three look like they’ll be about total tech integration in every Filipino household.
