Why Check Huawei Warranty?
Checking your Huawei phone's warranty status is important for several reasons:
- Free repairs: If your phone is under warranty, you're entitled to free repairs for manufacturing defects
- Used phone verification: When buying a used Huawei phone, warranty status confirms the device's age and history
- Authenticity check: Warranty lookup verifies that the IMEI belongs to a genuine Huawei device
- Resale value: A phone with active warranty commands a higher resale price
- Repair planning: Know whether you need free warranty service or paid repair
You can check your Huawei warranty through IMEICheck Huawei check or official Huawei channels. To find your IMEI, see our guide on how to find IMEI on Android.

Huawei vs Honor Warranty
In November 2020, Huawei sold its Honor sub-brand to a consortium led by Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology. Since then, Honor operates as an independent company. This affects warranty service:
Huawei Phones (All Models)
Huawei phones, including the Mate, P, and Nova series, are serviced by Huawei service centers. Pre-2020 Honor phones may also be serviced by Huawei, depending on the region.
Honor Phones (Post-November 2020)
Honor phones released after November 2020 (Honor V40 and later) are serviced by Honor's own service network. These phones have their own warranty system, separate from Huawei.
How to Determine Which Service to Use
- Check the release date of your phone model
- If released before November 2020, contact Huawei service
- If released after November 2020, contact Honor service
- For uncertain cases, contact both and ask if they can service your device
How to Find Your Huawei IMEI
Before checking warranty, you need your phone's IMEI number:
- Dial code: Open the Phone app and dial
*#06# - Settings: Settings → About phone → Status → IMEI information
- Packaging: Check the barcode label on the original box
- SIM tray: Remove the SIM tray and check for engraved numbers

Tips for Buying Used Huawei Phones
If you're buying a used Huawei phone, follow these steps to verify the device:

- Confirm activation date: Compare the activation date with the seller's claims

- Inspect physical condition: Look for signs of damage or third-party repairs
- Verify accessories: Check that the charger and cable are genuine Huawei products
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Huawei warranty?
Huawei phones typically come with a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase. In some regions, the warranty may be 15 or 24 months. Huawei accessories (chargers, earphones) usually have a 6-month warranty. Battery warranty is typically 6 months. The exact warranty period depends on the region and product category.
How to verify Huawei authenticity?
To verify Huawei authenticity, check the IMEI on Huawei's official warranty check page or through IMEICheck. A genuine Huawei device will return valid model information, warranty dates, and activation records. Also check the build quality, packaging, and compare the IMEI on the device (dial *#06#) with the one on the box.
Do international Huawei phones have warranty?
Huawei warranty is typically region-specific. A phone purchased in China may not have warranty coverage in Europe or other regions. International warranty coverage depends on the specific model and region. Some global models have limited international warranty, while China-only models (without Google services) may only be serviced in China.
Is Honor warranty the same as Huawei?
Since Honor was sold off from Huawei in November 2020, Honor phones are managed by a separate company. Honor warranty is handled by Honor Service Centers, not Huawei. Pre-2020 Honor phones may still be serviced by Huawei centers depending on the region. Always check with the appropriate service provider based on your phone's release date.
Conclusion
Checking your Huawei phone's warranty by IMEI is a quick and essential step for both current owners and used phone buyers. Whether you use Huawei's official website, the My Huawei app, or a third-party service like IMEICheck, knowing your warranty status helps you plan repairs and make informed purchasing decisions. Remember that Huawei and Honor are now separate companies—make sure you contact the right service provider for your device.
