The Honor V10 launch event will see the smartphone being made available for Huawei's global markets, while the Honor 7X will be unveiled exclusively for India. Both the smartphones have been launched in China earlier. Much anticipation surrounds the budget smartphone - Honor 7X to be announced tonight, as the company had previously claimed that the device will be up for sale at an "unbeatable" price point.

The Honor V10 launch event is scheduled to start at 8 pm IST and you can catch the live updates straight from the London event at News18.com/Tech.
