There is no SD card slot or notification LED. Sensors include an under-display fingerprint scanner, light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, gravity sensor, and ultrasonic virtual proximity sensor.

Camera

The rear camera system is a triple-lens setup. The main camera is a 50MP Sony IMX906 sensor with an f/1.95 aperture, 1.00µm pixel size, and 1/1.56" sensor size, capable of 4-in-1 pixel binning. A 12MP wide-angle lens (f/2.2) and a 50MP telephoto lens (f/2.4) with OIS complete the rear array. The front-facing camera is a 50MP sensor with an f/2.1 aperture. The camera features 4K@30fps video recording with OIS and EIS, also supporting 1080p recording at 30fps and 60fps, all with OIS and EIS.

Software

The phone operates on Android 14, with no specified maximum version at time of review.

Pricing

The Honor 200 is positioned in the medium price range. Specific prices vary depending on the configuration. For the 12GB/256GB model, prices range from $574.20 to $574.72, while the 12GB/512GB version is priced at $519.04.

Overall Verdict

The Honor 200 offers a combination of strong display technology, capable performance, and a versatile camera system. The 120Hz OLED display, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, and the inclusion of OIS on the rear cameras should provide a good user experience. The absence of a microSD card slot may be a consideration for some. Its mid-range pricing makes it a competitive option within its class.
