Honor has been manufacturing smartphones on a wider spectrum. The brand moved away from budget and mid-range devices to full-on flagships. In this wave, the Honor 200 Pro was launched in China on 31st May 2024. It brings impressive features with a distinct camera experience to cater to photography enthusiasts. Here are more details about the Honor 200 Pro.  Key Specifications of Honor 200 Pro  Design and Build Quality  Honor is known for their incremental design changes from one iteration to the other. The 200 Pro is also no different. The device feels like a more textured and refined version of last year’s 100 Pro with subtle changes here and there.  The design inspiration for the 200 Pro comes from Gaudi’s Casa Mila and the natural coastline of the beaches. The subtle curve on the display also makes for a chic design choice. The screen-to-body ratio comes in at 90.8% even with a slight chin at the bottom. With a dimension of 163.3 mm by 75.2 mm by 8.2 mm, the 200 Pro is not a small phone by any means. However, the dual glass and plastic frame allows for a manageable 199 g weight.  Read more: Xinji Nothing 3 Review: Amoled Smartwatch for 5000 Taka There’s a large vertical oval camera housing on the back which is its distinct markup.

There is no extendable storage or headphone jack on the 200 Pro.  The device comes in Moonlight White, Black, and Ocean Cyan variants. The international version will have an IP65 rating.  The Display The display on the 200 Pro is a 6.78-inch LTPS OLED panel with 1B colors, 120Hz refresh rate, and 4000 nits of peak brightness. The panel has a resolution of 1224 by 2700 pixels with 437 ppi density. Additional specs include a 3840 Hz risk-free dimming display, AI circadian night display, natural tone 2.0, hardware, and dynamic dimming among others.  Beyond the basics, the display also incorporates hyper-dynamic color technology along with full-chain HDR vivid codec to ensure a sharp and detailed panel. The color accuracy of the 200 Pro is also impressive with a Delta E score of about 0.27.  Read more: Smart Plugs Buyers’ Guide, Price Ranges in Bangladesh in 2024 Additional features like TUV Rheinland Flicker Free certification, Netflix, and Amazon HDR certification make the 200 Pro a perfect device for media consumption.  The Camera  The camera is the main game changer on the 200 Pro. The main sensor is a 50 MP f/1.9, 1/1.3" H9000 shooter with PDAF, OIS, and EIS. This is the same sensor found on the flagship Honor Magic 6 Pro. The second camera is a 50 MP, f/2.4 telephoto sensor with OIS and up to 2.5x zoom. Furthermore, its third camera features a 12 MP, f/2.2, 112˚ ultrawide shooter on the 200 Pro.  On the front, there’s a 50 MP, f/2.1 main shooter and a 2 MP, f/2.4 depth sensor.  Honor has been branding the 200 Pro as “The Portrait Master” and it’s easy to see why. Honor has partnered with the Paris-based Studio Harcourt to perfect their portrait shot on both the front and back camera. And the result is quite praiseworthy.  Read more: Motorola Edge 50 Pro Review: A Competent Mid-Range Smartphone There’s a clear separation between the subject and the background while maintaining the edges and details. The AI-rendered lighting allows for a perfect DSLR-like shot every time while using the portrait mode.  There are also two separate modes on the main shooter, natural and authentic. The natural mode produced pictures with amped-up colors and details while the authentic mode stayed true to the actual setting. The wide dynamic range and exposure balance on the 200 Pro have been impressive which aids in a perfect shot every time you click the shutter. The wide-angle and the telephoto lens along with the front camera were equally impressive.  The night mode also supports the two picture modes. However, the images in natural mode came out with better details and exposure.  Read more: TECNO's CAMON 30 Series wins Platinum at MUSE Design Awards The videography on the front and rear sensors of 200 Pro is rated at 4K at 30fps and 1080p at 30fps.  Processor and Performance  The processor on the 200 Pro is Qualcomm SM8635 Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 based on a 4 Nm architecture. It has a chip design of 1x3.0 GHz Cortex-X4 & 4x2.8 GHz Cortex-A720 & 3x2.0 GHz Cortex-A520 with Adreno 735 GPU.  On paper, the 8s Gen 3 is slightly below the flagship 8 Gen 3 processor. But in day-to-day use, the difference isn’t much noticeable. The 200 Pro can handle day-to-day tasks with ease without any hiccups whatsoever.  While gaming with 200 Pro, PUBG, and Genshin Impact can run with steady frame rates of over 50 fps. The heating issue also maxed at around 40 to 43 degrees Celsius which didn’t trigger any kind of thermal throttling.  Read more: Top Home Electronics in Bangladesh for 2024: Simplify Your Life with These Smart Devices Benchmark  GeekBench 6: 1883 (single core), 4759 (multi-core)  3DMark Wild Life: 10918  Antutu 10: 1281655 DXOMark: 137 (2nd in High-End Ranking)  Software  The Honor 200 Pro is running on MagicOS 8 based on Android 14. The MagicOS comes with a full Google suite so users won’t have to worry about 3rd party solutions. The OS itself has minimal bloatware but overall, a very clean and responsive UI. Features like Magic Portal, Magic Capsule, and Air gestures truly alleviate the overall user experience of the OS.  Honor has also committed to 4 years of major OS updates and 5 years of security patches for the 200 Pro.  Battery and Charge Time There’s a 5200 mAh battery on the Honor 200 Pro. The battery supports 100W wired Honor SuperCharge and 66W of wireless charging. Moreover, it features 5W reverse charging.

Price of Honor 200 Pro  The Honor 200 Pro is available in the 12/512 GB variant in the Malaysian market. The price is 2699 RM which roughly translates to 67,869 BDT (1 MYR = 25.15 BDT). Honor has plans to officially launch the device in Bangladesh, so we might see a similar price in Bangladesh as well.  Verdict  The Honor 200 Pro is a game changer offering a flagship-level camera experience at a high-mid range budget. The great camera system is coupled with a great display, impressive design, powerful processor, and long-lasting battery life.  The only gripe with the 200 Pro is its price. At over 60000, the processor should’ve been a flagship level instead of a near-flagship one.  On the whole, those who are looking for a higher mid-range phone offering a great photography experience may consider the Honor 200 Pro.  Read more: 7 Best Smartphones in Tk 35000-45000 Range in July 2024
