Honor 200 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Honor 200 - a spoiled ideal

Smartphones of the middle and high price segment from the Chinese company Honor almost always pleased users not only with excellent build quality, but also with advanced functionality, good performance and an abundance of other competitive advantages. However, separation from the parent corporation, financial problems still affected the brand's products. But every year the manufacturer is getting closer to regaining its former leadership. And the hero of today's review is approaching the level of previously released bestsellers.

The appearance of the new product has become, surprisingly, one of its controversial aspects. A peculiar block of photo modules and a plastic case cause mixed feelings. However, interesting colors of the rear panels and a frameless display with a built-in fingerprint scanner partially correct the shortcomings of the exterior. The 6.7-inch AMOLED panel did without obvious disadvantages. It has an excellent resolution of 2664x1200 pixels for a diagonal, and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, and calibrated color rendition, and an effective oleophobic coating. In addition, there is a huge brightness reserve of 4000 nits.

The technical characteristics are the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, 8 GB / 12 GB / 16 GB of RAM and the Adreno 720 video adapter. This bundle is one of the most balanced in the cost category. The Android 14 operating system works incredibly stably, the vast majority of games function remarkably well at medium-high graphics settings. The list will also include the resource-intensive Honkai: Star Rail, Fortnite. The energy efficiency of the latest CPU is also not disappointing, because the 5200 mAh battery provides more than 8-9 hours of active screen time. Wireless charging was left for the flagships, but the gadget has a wired analog with a power of 100 W. As for the amount of permanent memory, it can reach 256 or 512 GB without the possibility of expansion with MicroSD cards.

The main 50-megapixel sensor and telephoto lens in the same 50 MP (2.5X optical zoom) received hybrid stabilization and cope well even with evening photography. The detail of the frames is high, there is little noise on them. But the wide-angle 12-megapixel module will not please so much, it is recommended to use it for daytime photo shoots. There is stereo sound, but the speakers are not the same in volume, and the bass is barely audible. But the device supports 5G networks, contactless payments NFC. As a result, we have a potential hit before us, the impression of which may be slightly marred by a number of not the most pleasant shortcomings.
