Honor 200 is a semi-flagship phone from 2024, and the company has now decided to debut that handset in Pakistan. It’s obviously late to the races, but more competition is always welcome in the local market. Our sources report that the Honor 200 will land in our region by the end of November.
This device has solid hardware, and it doesn’t feel dated either. There’s a nealy bezeless OLED panel at the front. This is a quad-curve 6.7” screen, by the way, and it supports a fast 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5k resolution. They say its brightness hits 4000 nits, but that’s probably only used to make the HDR content pop.
The screen alone is enough to put this phone on the map. Then comes the chip. Honor packed a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 inside it. That’s a 4nm octacore platform, and its boost clock speed is around 2.63GHz. There’s also an Adreno 720 GPU that has the same level of power as older Snapdragon 800-series chips.
The RAM size on this Honor 5G new model goes up to 16GB with 512GB of storage, but we have to wait for Honor to announce the true numbers for our market. There’s a 50MP selfie on this old model. The rear camera seems to have three lenses: 50MP (main) + 50MP (telephoto 2.5x OIS) + 12MP Ultrawide.
Honor 200 also comes with a 5200mAh Si/C battery that’s still serviceable, but people may not be very receptive to it if the phone price is higher. The fast 100W charging makes up for it. This can refill 57% of the battery in under 15 minutes.
The software is dated, though, and almost two generations old at this point. It boots to an Android 14 system when you pull it out of the box. Unless Honor has updated the entire Honor 200 stock with the new firmware just for our market, we assume buyers will be stuck with Android 14 until they install new updates over the air.
Seeing that Honor has already debuted the Honor 400 series, the demand for the older 200 series variant wouldn’t be that high. If they want to see sales results, Honor has to make it affordable. Let’s wait and see how this all unfolds, what variants they launch in Pakistan, and at what price. Keep watching the news for updates.
