Translation: machine translated
Honor is focussing on portrait photography with its latest smartphone. AI and a cooperation with the Harcourt photo studio should ensure beautiful pictures at the touch of a button with the 200 Pro.
A look at the data sheet and the price already make the Honor 200 Pro seem attractive. It offers top features for a three-digit price. The manufacturer is also courting all people who want to take a lot of portrait photos.
Three cameras and many tools for portrait photos
Honor primarily promotes portrait photography with the 200 Pro. The combination of cameras, AI portrait engine and Harcourt portrait modes should ensure particularly beautiful photos of people. The latter were created in collaboration with the photo studio of the same name from Paris.

The Honor 200 Pro comes with a 50-megapixel skin camera (H9000 sensor) and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera (Sony IMX856) for portrait photos. The 50-megapixel front camera for selfies also offers the option for portrait photos with a blurred background. There is also a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and macro camera for other photographic needs.
The AI portrait engine is designed to adjust three things: shadows and light, visual effects and artistic style. The cooperation with Harcourt has resulted in three portrait modes that you can choose between: Harcourt Vivid, Harcourt Colour and Harcourt Classic.

Honor promises studio-quality portrait photos. Tests will show whether this is true. The fact that the 200 Pro also takes photos in RAW format should be helpful in this regard.
Equipment of a top smartphone
The 6.78-inch AMOLED display of the Honor 200 Pro serves as a viewfinder and for image control. 2700 × 1224 pixels ensure a pixel density of 437 ppi and therefore a sharp and detailed display. The maximum refresh rate is 120 hertz.
The manufacturer specifies a very high peak brightness of 4000 nits. However, you can only achieve this value with HDR videos in full screen. Unfortunately, Honor does not specify the typical brightness, which is more important in everyday life. Experience shows that although it is lower than the maximum value, it should still be comparatively bright.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the chipset for most of the current top smartphones in the Android world, is responsible for processing the image data. It is supported by twelve gigabytes of RAM. The internal memory of 512 gigabytes offers space for lots of photos.
The battery of the Honor 200 Pro has a standard capacity of 5200 mAh. You should be able to play music for 61 hours with it. However, it would have been more exciting if the manufacturer had specified how many photos are possible on one battery charge. In any case, it is very fast when recharged. It should take 41 minutes for wireless charging with up to 66 watts via Honor SuperCharge. It is even faster with fast charging technology via a USB-C cable and with up to 100 watts.
Honor uses Android 14 as the operating system and provides it with its MagicOS 8.0 user interface. The Honor 200 Pro has received IP65 certification. This means it is protected against dust and water jets, but not against submersion.
Price and availability
The Honor 200 Pro is available in black or white. The recommended retail price in Germany is 799 euros. I have not received any information for Switzerland. As soon as the smartphone is available here, it will appear here.

As a primary school pupil, I used to sit in a friend's living room with many of my classmates to play the Super NES. Now I get my hands on the latest technology and test it for you. In recent years at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, now at Digitec and Galaxus.
