Neither company has disclosed the value of the financing. Honor owns a rich product portfolio, while China Mobile offers channel resources and phone-user resources, the phone company said in a statement. The two parties have diverse cooperation opportunities in both consumer electronics innovation and expansion in the Chinese market, Honor added.
