HTech launched the HONOR 200 series in India earlier today. Here we have the HONOR 200. This has a quad-curved AMOLED screen, is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, has up to 12GB of RAM, 50MP rear and front cameras, both with 4K video recording and a large 5200mAh battery. Here we have the first impressions of the phone.
Regarding the box contents, the unit we got is the European version, but the Indian retail version will be different, and doesn’t come with a charger in the box. The company is selling the 100W charger for Rs. 2,999.
The HONOR 200 packs a 6.7-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with 3D curved corners, 120Hz refresh rate and has minimal bezels. It also has 3840Hz PWM Dimming technology that minimizes flicker, reducing eye strain and ensuring a comfortable viewing experience. Since it has up to 4000 nits peak brightness, the display looks great even in outdoors and for HDR content.
It has a tiny punch-hole that houses the 50-megapixel camera with Sony IMX906 sensor that supports 4K video recording. The earpiece is present on the top edge, and acts as a secondary speaker, which was missing in the HONOR 90.
The phone has an in-display fingerprint scanner, and comes with a minimal bottom bezel.
The HONOR 200 is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, which is a good upgrade compared to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 in the HONOR 90. It has up to 12GB of RAM with addition up to 12GB of virtual RAM.
It runs Android 13 with MagicOS 8.0 that has several AI features such as Magic Portal, MagicRing, Magic Capsule and more. The company has promised 2 years of software update and 3 years of security patches for the phone.
You can see the glossy frame, which is plastic. The phone has a power button and volume rockers on the right side. The dual SIM slots, primary microphone, USB Type-C port and the speaker grill are present on the bottom. The secondary microphone is present on the top, along with the IR blaster and vents for the secondary speaker.
The phone has triple rear cameras that include a 50-megapixel main camera with 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX906 Sensor, OIS, and 4-in-1 pixel binning technology. There is a 12MP autofocus ultra-wide camera with 2.5cm macro option and a 50MP 2.5X Telephoto Camera with a Sony IMX856 sensor and OIS. There are a lot of camera features such as AI video, multi video, HDR video, solo cut, story mode and lots more. Check out the camera samples below.
The phone has a glass back with nice pattens on the Moonlight White model that we have. It is a bit slippery to hold, but the sides have a good grip. The phone has a 5200mAh silicon-carbon battery with AI power-saving, and the 100W Wired HONOR SuperCharge.
The HONOR 200 starts at Rs. 34,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model. There are bank discounts offers, so the effective starting price is Rs. 29,999. It will be available from Amazon.in, offline stores and Explorehonor.com starting from July 20th.
