Ma Vijian House, CEO of Honor, an international technology company for electronics production in the Gulf region, said that smartphone sales in the UAE market have recorded remarkable growth since the beginning of this year, exceeding global levels with an increase of about 10%.

House told Emirates Today that the company has monitored through market studies conducted since the beginning of the year that the local market recorded during the first quarter a significant recovery in demand for smartphones in general, especially from the categories of so-called "flagship" phones, or smartphones with high specifications and prices. House attributed this to the boom in tourism activity in the country, the continued momentum of business sectors and the rapid recovery recorded by most economic sectors in the country following the Corona pandemic.

House pointed out that the uses of artificial intelligence are witnessing a rapid expansion in the electronic devices sector in general and in mobile phones in particular.
