While the Honor Magic 6 Pro and the foldable Honor Magic V2 Porsche Design Edition are the company’s halo phones, not everyone needs those capabilities or even wants to spend that amount of money on a phone. So, today, it’s launching the Honor 200 series — the best smartphone models from its mid-range line.
The company is starting off with the Honor 200 Pro, a 6.78-inch smartphone with portrait photography as its core focus. The phone sports a 50-megapixel main camera and uses AI models that have been optimized to produce precise exposures, light and shadow balance, and tone enhancements.
Honor also worked with iconic Parisian portrait studio ‘Studio Harcourt’, whose work include celebrity portraits of Marion Cotillard, Monica Bellucci, Roger Federer, and even that of Queen Rania of Jordan, to co-engineer its Honor AI Portrait engine. Honor said, “The beauty of light is made up of light and shadow,” so it leveraged the studio’s more than 90 years of experience and expertise to train the Honor 200 Pro’s AI in capturing photos.
Aside from its photography chops, the Honor 200 Pro also comes with a powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC with a 12GB+512GB memory/storage configuration. It also has a massive 5,200 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100-watt wired and 66-watt wireless charging speeds.
The screen is also all important to the Honor 200 Pro, given that it’s a photography-focused phone. It comes with a 6.78-inch display with all-rounded sides, giving it a floating illusion. But aside from its physical appearance, it can also hit 4,000 nits of peak brightness, allowing you to see it clearly even under the brightest conditions.
