5. Implications for the Android tablet market
According to IDC data cited by HONOR Malaysia, HONOR has about 32 percent of the Android tablet market share inMalaysia and holds the leading position in sales volume for 27 consecutive months, from the second quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2026.
