Honor has made progress on the Indian smartphones market with its official return. In less than a year, the company has introduced several smartphones that offer unique features and capable cameras. Based on this media threshing, the brand introduced the Honor 200 pro. The last Honor handset is intended for the premium segment and is delivered with an RS 57 999 price for the only variant with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage.
The Honor 200 Pro is equipped with a premium design language and offers pro-grade cameras to compete with rigidity with Samsung and Apple. The phone also contains flagship specifications and features, making it an interesting device. However, is it enough to attract premium buyers? Here’s what you need to know.
Honor 200 pro Design: Premium and Sleek
- Dimensions – 63.3 x 75.2 x 8.2 mm
- Weight – 199g
- Colors – Black and Ocean Cyan
Honor knows how to design smartphones. In the past, we have also seen the company emerging from phones designed uniquely. Now, its return, the brand leaves no stone not returned to impress customers with its Honor 200 Pro design. The handset has two color options: black and cyan ocean. I got the latter for criticism, and my boy, he surely has a soothing finish.
The Honor 200 Pro is available in black and cyan color options.
The rear panel of the device is delivered with a corrugated texture finish which is inspired by the natural coast. The design has a velvety finish, which makes it slippery, so the use of a case is recommended with it. The phone also includes a large pill -shaped camera module that houses the prowess of the camera.
The handset is thin, has an 8.2 mm thickness and weighs 199 grams, which makes it comfortable to hold. The weight distribution is also good, so you won’t feel uncomfortable about prolonged use. My only complaint is that he could have a better IP note. The phone has an IP65 note, which seems disappointing compared to competition. We have phones in a lower price slice which offer IP68 or IP69 notes.
Honor 200 pro Display: colorful and bright
- View – AMOLED curved display of 6.78 inch 1.5K
- Refresh rate – screen refresh rate at 120 Hz
- Other features – 3840Hz PWM Dimming, 100% DCI -P3 Color Gamut, 4,000nits Peak Brightmness
The Honor 200 Pro is responsible for a large 6.78 -inch screen. The curved screen on the four sides offers an experience -free experience. The display offers shiny and colorful visuals. The handset provides L1 Widevine support coupled with HDR10 +support, which allows you to watch HDR content on Netflix, Videos and YouTube. While looking at “Ring of Power Season 2”, the screen showed rich colors and the dark scenes have become good with deep blacks.
The handset is loaded with an AMOLED to quadrup screen which offers vibrant colors.
The phone also wraps a dynamic 120 Hz screen refresh rate that allows a smooth scrolling experience. The phone also has interesting display features to make the visual experience customizable. You get color modes: natural and lively. There is also a video amplifier that improves the colors and the contrast of videos on different streaming platforms. Continuing, the circadian night display helps automatically adjust the color temperature. In addition, you get 4,000 maximum brightness nignes, making it a light display for use in external conditions.
The handset is also delivered with a fingerprint sensor in the game that works well, although the position is a little lower than my taste. However, you can choose between animations, which are always fun to use. An area where I think the company could have done better is protection. The phone does not come with any kind of corning or any other display protection, which makes it mandatory to apply a good screen protector.
Honor 200 Pro software: Bloatware is a mood killer
- Software – Magicos 8.0
- Version – Android 14
- Promised updates – 3 years of updates to the operating system and 4 years of security fixes
The Honor 200 Pro works on Android 14, which is based on Magic OS 8.1
The Honor 200 Pro is loaded with Magicos 8.0, based on the Android 14 operating system. The user interface is easy to get used to and offers good personalization and features levels. The company claims to have added AI features such as Magic Capsule, Magic Portal, Magic Ring, etc. If you want to know more about the software, you can go to the Honor 200 journal to find out more in depth.
Honor 200 pro Performance: Soft operator
- Processor – Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
- Memory – 12 GB (LPDDR5X)
- Storage – 512 GB (UFS 3.1)
The Honor 200 Pro is in charge of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Light quality processor. The same chipset is also present in Xiaomi 14 CIVI, which is almost 10,000 cheaper than the Honor 200 pro. Although synthetic references show excellent results, they seem slightly disappointing compared to the tastes of the OnePlus 12, Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, Iqoo 12, and more. You can check the reference scores below:
| Reference | Honor 200 pro | OnePlus 12 |
|---|---|---|
| ANTUTU V10 | 1,193,736 | 1,629.220 |
| PCMARK WORK 3.0 | 15.114 | 12,728 |
| Geekbench 6 single core | 1423 | 1 005 |
| Geekbench 6 Multi-Noyau | 4216 | 4,902 |
| 3DM Slingshot Extreme OpenGL | At the maximum | At the maximum |
| 3DM Slingshot | At the maximum | At the maximum |

| GFXBENCH T-REX | 60 | 60 |
| GFXBENCH Manhattan 3.1 | 60 | 60 |
| Gfxbench car chase | 60 | 60 |
In daily use, you will not encounter any problems or delay. Even with demanding tasks, the phone does not progress much, which is good.
By playing Call of Duty: Mobile with default settings for graphics and high image frequencies, respectively. Even with a very high quality and a maximum image frequency, I noticed no drop in the frame. However, the phone held slightly around the camera module, but it was not at an alarming level.
Honor 200 Cameras Pro: Star of the Show
- Rear – OV50H omnivision sensor of 50 megapixel
- Front – Sony IMX906 sensor of 50 megapixels with f / 2.1 opening
The cameras are the greatest culminating point in the honor of 200 pro, which focuses on portrait photography. For this, the brand has teamed up with Studio Harcourt, a French photography studio famous for its portraits.

Integration works in favor of honor while you get pictures of fantastic and well detailed portrait of the phone. The 2.5x camera captures good quality photos in daylight conditions and low light. The bokeh effect in the background seems natural and the complexion is not supersaturated.
The phone has three Harcourt modes: Harcourt Dibrant, Harcourt Color and Harcourt Classic. I liked the Harcourt Classic mode because it delivered well -defined black and white portraits that seem studio level.

The phone also offers a good photograph of daylight. I obtained detailed and impactful colors throughout the test period. The dynamic range is managed on the right, balancing the overexposed parts of the images.

The Ultrairs camera is not as consistent as the main sensor. That said, he always manages to click on the balanced colors, but you can see a certain distortion along the edges, which spoils the atmosphere.

Coming to the low light performance of Honor 200 pro, the main sensor is doing a good job again. The noises are reduced to a minimum and the phone is capable of preserving colors when the light is low. The ultra-large angle was not up to the brand, because the photos became less detailed and full of noise.
Honor 200 pro Battery: decent backup, no fast charger in the box
- Battery capacity – 5,200mAh (double cell)
- Cabinized load – 100W Super -charge
- Wireless load – 66W wireless supercharge
- Load – 100W (not included)
The handset is loaded with a 5,200 mAh battery which offers a good outing. With occasional to moderate use, the phone lasted almost two days. Under intensive use, the phone offers almost a full day of battery.
The Honor 200 Pro offers a decent battery life, although there is no charger in the box.
In our battery loop test, the phone lasted 26 hours. It also supports the fast charging support of 100W, although the company offers no charger with the box, which is a real disappointment. The phone also supports the 66W wireless load, but unfortunately, the brand is currently not selling the wireless charger in India. Regarding load speeds, the phone was billed 33% in 15 minutes, 65% in 30 minutes and completely loaded in one hour.
Honor 200 pro Verdict
The Honor 200 Pro seems to be the best attempt of the brand to capture the premium segment. The latest handset offers a premium design that looks elegant and unique. The display looks clear and you will certainly like to watch movies or play games. The performance is satisfactory and you will not encounter any problems when you use daily. The cameras are the star of the show and capture good results both in daylight and in low light. The battery life is decent, although the software is always Bloatware.
That said, the Honor 200 pro targets fierce competition which includes Iqoo 12 (Revue), OnePlus 12 (Review), Motorola Edge 50 Ultra and even Xiaomi 14 CIVI (Revue).
