The overall appearance of the Honor 200 5G is quite youthful with a frosted glass back and recessed patterns, helping to limit dust and fingerprints. The device is evenly curved at the edges as well as the four corners, giving a relatively comfortable grip and hugs the hand.
The back features a large oval-shaped camera cluster. This system includes a 50MP main lens, a 50MP telephoto lens that supports 2.5x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The camera is also integrated with AI to support image processing.
Honor also collaborated with Studio Harcourt Paris to equip 3 different color filters specifically for portrait mode. Testing portrait photography in indoor conditions, the Honor 200 5G camera system works relatively well, with the ability to quickly focus on the face. Skin color is reproduced realistically. The transition between the subject and the background is processed naturally, helping the subject stand out from the background. Difficult details such as hair or glasses are accurately recognized by AI and are not blurred. In addition, the device also supports customizing different levels of background blur after taking a photo.
Testing low-light photography, this camera system can still handle it relatively well. The photo on the left was taken from inside the car, the camera can still focus accurately on the raindrops outside the glass window. The image is also quite clear and grain-free even when taken in low-light environments. However, the machine's AI system will take about 1-2 seconds to process after taking the photo. In the photo of food on the right, the colors have been slightly processed and look more flattering than in reality. The image is not grainy, but some details in the dark areas are slightly flattened.
The Honor 200 5G has a 6.7-inch OLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. This screen covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and has a maximum brightness of 4,000 nits, making it easy to use outdoors. The edges of the screen are curved, providing a pleasant touch feeling.
The device is equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, 12GB of RAM and 256/512GB of optional memory. The included battery has a capacity of 5,200 mAh, supporting fast charging with a capacity of 100W. With multitasking needs including calling, texting, social networking, web browsing and watching YouTube videos with 4G connection, the device can fully meet a day of use.
With popular games like Lien Quan Mobile or PUBG Mobile, the device can easily achieve 60fps at high graphics settings. Meanwhile, for heavy games like Genshin Impact, the device can handle at medium graphics settings. The heat generated when playing games is also moderate, not causing discomfort.
The top edge of the device contains the speaker and infrared sensor that helps the phone control peripheral devices such as TVs and air conditioners.
The bottom edge includes a SIM slot, a microphone, a USB-C charging port, and an external speaker. The design limitation of the device lies in the edge, which is only finished with glossy plastic, which leaves a lot of fingerprints during use. In addition, the device is not equipped with water resistance standards so that users can rest assured when using it in many conditions.
Honor 200 5G is being sold at a price of 12.49 million VND, a reduction of 500,000 VND compared to the listed price. The device competes directly with a number of rivals in the same price segment such as Samsung Galaxy A55 5G, Vivo V30 5G, Oppo Reno12 5G or Xiaomi 14T 5G.
