It shouldn’t matter what your camera skills are—because whether you’re a beginner or a pro, a great smartphone makes it effortlessly easy to capture excellent shots. 

That’s what the new HONOR 200 Series is for: transforming you into an instant photography expert with AI-powered features, high-quality cameras, and other revolutionary functions that rival other powerful camera phones in the market. To preview its top-tier camera capabilities, catch a glimpse of everyday life through the HONOR 200 Series’ lenses below. 

Studio-level cameras

Bringing the HONOR 200 Pro on a test run, its rear camera setup instantly makes a standout performance with its three lenses: a 50MP Portrait Main Camera with an industry-leading 1/1.3” Super Dynamic H9000 sensor, a 50MP Telephoto Camera with a customized Sony IMX 856 sensor, and a 12MP Ultra-wide and Macro Camera.

With up to 31% better light-sensing capabilities, the HONOR 200 Pro’s main camera can capture well-illuminated and detailed images even in difficult lighting conditions. This is perfect for night photography, as well as outdoor set-ups where the lighting is out of your control. It also improves the smoothness and minimizes the shakiness in videos and rapid-motion photos by supporting dual stabilization with OIS+EIS function to achieve a groundbreaking focus speed.

Meanwhile, the HONOR 200 Pro’s 50MP Telephoto Camera proves to be specifically tailored for portrait photography with the clarity and vibrance it maintains for images captured through its 2.5x optical zoom. With a 68mm zoom range and a natural bokeh effect, this lens is ideal for snapping stunning portraits anytime and anywhere. Like the main camera, the HONOR 200 Pro’s telephoto lens has OIS to minimize any blur or shakiness in your shots.

For those who enjoy taking photos of natural landscapes, the HONOR 200 Pro’s 12MP Ultra-wide & Macro Camera makes life easier with its f/2.2 aperture and an impressive 112° field of view. With a minimum focusing distance of 2.5cm, this lens is perfect for any wide-angled shots at any distance—so whether you’re taking photos of the city skyline or a stunning mountain range, you can easily enjoy intricate details and exceptional clarity on your final shots. 

Aside from its rear camera setup, the HONOR 200 Pro also steps up its portrait photography offerings with a 50MP Selfie Camera powered by the upgraded HONOR RAW Domain Algorithm. Together with the HONOR AI Portrait Engine, this feature ensures impressive precision and the perfect balance of colors, contrast, shadows, and exposure in every photo. 

It also makes group selfies easy to capture with an Automatic FOV Switching between 1X and 0.8X that lets you fit more faces or elements in a photo—without compromising its quality and fine details.

AI-powered photography

Offering AI-powered features is a big marker of highly advanced tech nowadays, and the HONOR 200 Pro doesn’t miss out on this by incorporating AI capabilities into its studio-level portrait photography offerings. 

This is possible by co-engineering the AI-enhanced HONOR AI Portrait Engine with the prestigious photography studio Studio Harcourt from Paris, which many celebrities and famous personalities trust to turn their portraits into masterpieces for USD 2,000 (Php 120,000) per portrait session. 

With the AI-enhanced HONOR AI Portrait Engine, the HONOR 200 Pro offers cutting-edge features like AI Shadow and Light Enhancement, AI Optical Effect Enhancement, and AI Artistic Style Enhancement to help you meticulously create flawless and studio-quality images.

Immersive viewing experience

Aside from its studio-level cameras and AI-powered features, the HONOR 200 Pro finds a strong point in its human-centric design and functionality. This is led by a 6.78” Quad Curved Floating Display that presents a more immersive viewing experience, together with a peak HDR brightness of 4000nits for vibrant visuals, 1.5K resolution for impeccable details, and a 12Hz refresh rate for a smooth and responsive interface. 

Aside from the enjoyable visual quality, the HONOR 200 Pro’s display highlights its human-centric design through eye-comfort features like 3840Hz risk-free PWM dimming, AI Circadian Night Display, Adaptive Dimming, Natural Tone 2.0, and Low Blue Light hardware that help protect your well-being even after long hours of being on your phone.

Exceptional battery life and memory

With its outstanding battery life and spacious memory storage, the HONOR 200 Pro proves its worth as an ideal everyday smartphone.

Despite its sleek and compact design, this powerful phone packs a 5200mAh silicon-carbon battery that lasts for hours of intensive use—including up to 61 hours of continuous music streaming on just a single charge. It also provides a fast-charging experience with its 100W Wired HONOR SuperCharge, which can juice up your phone’s battery to 100% for as quickly as 41 minutes.

Adding to the reasons why it’s an ideal smartphone for people with an on-the-go lifestyle, the HONOR 200 Pro has a generous 12GB memory and a spacious 512GB storage drive to fit all your digital files. With this storage space, you can have up to 95,600 pictures or 80,000 songs in your phone without slowing down its performance.

Whatever task you need to accomplish, the HONOR 200 Pro can also deliver it quickly and efficiently with its Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform. This processor can achieve an impressive CPU clock speed of up to 3GHz, which lets graphics render smoothly and quickly while ensuring real-time responsiveness.

These impressive features and more come in an equally magnificent design for the HONOR 200 Pro, which is available in two nature-inspired colorways: Ocean Cyan and Black. Providing an excellent balance to its high-powered tech, this smartphone also presents natural aesthetics in its premium design through elements like a symmetrical regular rear camera and organic geometric outlines that beautifully blend with naturalism.
