After we saw the leaked teaser for the Honor 9 launch in Europe, Honor China has now started sending press invites for its upcoming event scheduled for May 23 in China where the company may launch the flagship Honor 9 before its European launch on June 27. Previous rumours indicated that Honor 9 would be launched on June 20 or June 21 but looks like the company is going to launch it one month earlier than expected.

The teaser issued by Honor China comes with a student that is divided half between a football field and a classroom and the Chinese text in the teaser says “4 new devices, built for fun and party” which hints towards the launch of four new Honor devices in the event. The company will hold the official event on June 27th in Berlin, Germany, a month after the event in China.
