Honor Warranty Check by IMEI

Honor keeps its own warranty records, separate from Huawei’s, and has done since the two companies parted in 2020. Put an Honor IMEI in below to see what that record says before you book a repair or buy a used Magic, X or Play.

Dial *#06# on the handset to display its IMEI.

Why Honor is its own case

An Honor phone is not a Huawei phone

Honor was sold out of Huawei in November 2020 and has operated independently since. That split is not cosmetic: separate warranty records, separate service centres and separate parts supply. A Huawei lookup will not find an Honor handset, and an Honor service centre will not take a Huawei one.

It also changed what the phones can do. Devices designed after the split ship with Google Mobile Services, so newer Honor handsets have the Play Store and Google apps in the ordinary way, while the last Huawei-era models do not. If you are buying used and the listing is vague about the year, that is the detail to pin down before anything else.

Warranty terms then depend on where the handset was first sold. Twelve months is the common manufacturer term, but any phone sold inside the EU carries a two-year statutory minimum against the seller, and the UK’s own consumer legislation gives a longer window than that against the retailer. A record showing no active cover closes the free-repair door and nothing else.

Ranges this lookup covers

Magic Series
Magic V (Fold)
X Series
Play Series
Honor Pad
Honor Watch

Honor’s regional coverage is uneven, so a grey-import handset can return an empty record while being perfectly in warranty in the market it was sold in. Treat a blank answer as “not found here”, not as “not covered”.


Asked often

Honor warranty questions

Is Honor still part of Huawei?
No. Huawei sold the brand in November 2020 to a consortium of Chinese buyers, and the two have been separate companies ever since — separate warranties, separate service networks, separate software roadmaps. The practical upshot for a buyer is Google: Honor handsets designed after the split carry Google Mobile Services, so the Play Store works normally, whereas the final Huawei-era models do not.
How long is an Honor warranty?
Twelve months against manufacturing defects is the usual manufacturer term, with shorter cover on the battery and accessories. In the EU your minimum protection is two years against the seller regardless of what the manufacturer offers, and UK consumer law gives a longer window still against the retailer. Manufacturer warranty and statutory rights run side by side; the weaker one does not cancel the stronger.
Can I take an Honor phone to a Huawei service centre?
Generally no, and the reverse is also true. They are different companies with different parts supply and different authorisations. Look for an Honor authorised centre specifically — a mismatch here is the commonest reason a repair gets turned away at the counter.
The lookup found nothing for my handset. Is it fake?
Almost certainly not. Empty records are usually a regional coverage gap, and grey imports produce them routinely. Check the IMEI is exactly what the handset reports by dialling *#06#, and if it is, an absent warranty record tells you nothing about whether the phone is genuine. Physical checks and the original receipt are better evidence for that question.
Where do I find the IMEI on an Honor?
Dial *#06# on the keypad, or go to Settings, About phone, Status. Dual-SIM models list two numbers; either one identifies the same handset. It is also printed on the original box beside the barcode.
