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

Honor 200 Lite - stylish, thin, balanced

Even the best mid-range smartphones can hardly be called ideal. Developers have to find a balance between reasonable cost and functionality, design and other parameters of phones. The Chinese company Honor gave preference to the beauty of the exterior and ergonomics in the hero of today's review, but in other respects the new product is trying to keep up with its opponents.

The appearance of the phablet turned out to be excellent. Yes, you can find fault with the not very expensive plastic case, but the thinnest display frames, a modern block of photo modules, a convenient side fingerprint scanner, attractive colors of monoblocks please the eye. In addition, the thickness of the device is less than 7 mm, it is easy to operate with one hand. The 6.7-inch AMOLED panel is far from flagship, but the combination of an optimal resolution of 2412x1080 pixels for the diagonal, a good 90 Hz refresh rate and a maximum brightness of 1500 nits leaves a positive impression. There are no serious problems with color rendering, but they saved on the oleophobic coating. It is there, but the efficiency is quite weak.

The technical characteristics are presented as standard for the price category of the MediaTek Dimensity 6080 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and a Mali G57-MC2 video accelerator. The bundle supports 5G, does not disappoint with energy efficiency, but in terms of performance it is still starting to become outdated. If this fact is almost not noticeable in the performance of Android 14, then the most demanding games will have to be launched at low graphics settings. Otherwise, the stability of the frame rate will be mediocre. But even a not very capacious 4500 mAh battery gives up to 7-8 hours of active screen time. Fast charging at 35W will also not be superfluous for the buyer. The permanent memory is allocated 256 GB without the possibility of expansion, but this volume will be enough for 99% of the audience.

The main cameras are a 108-megapixel main sensor from Samsung, a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 2-megapixel portrait sensor. It is better to forget about auxiliary modules, but the third camera, even without optical stabilization, copes with capturing moving objects during the day, and you can think about evening shots. There is no stereo sound, music lovers will also be upset by the lack of a separate headphone jack. But contactless payments NFC are available. Thus, before us is an ergonomic, technological device that can be considered for purchase, although it is not without a number of shortcomings.
