Honor has just announced the Honor 200 Pro in its home market of China. The high-end smartphone arrives as the direct successor to the Honor 100 Pro. But is it actually an upgrade over last year’s model? Or is it simply a minor refresh, let’s find out.

Honor 200 Pro vs Honor 100 Pro: Newer Flagship Chip & Bigger Battery

The Chinese brand’s next gen model gets an upgraded processor with the Honor 200 Pro. Honor launched the 100 Pro with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, but the 200 Pro model features the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. This processor is a slightly underclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and was built for affordable flagship phones. For under 500 US Dollars, it falls in the “flagship killer” category.

Another aspect that saw a mild upgrade is the battery pack. A 5,000mAh cell powers this Honor 100 Pro, but the Honor 200 Pro gets a 5,200mAh battery pack. Although, both offer the same 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging along with 5W reverse wireless charging.

Hard to tell them apart

Honor 100 Pro launched with a large oval camera module on the rear with a curved lining at the back. The Honor 200 Pro basically features the exact same design with slight changes in the back panel and the camera module. Even on the front both devices are practically identical. Both models sport a 6.78-inch OLED display that offers HDR, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1 billion colors. Although, the Honor 200 Pro offers 4000 nits of peak brightness, over the 100 Pro’s 2600 nits peak brightness.

Improved Cameras?

The Honor 100 Pro arrived with a triple camera setup on the rear, which consisted of a 50-megapixel primary camera along with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 32-megapixel telephoto shooter with 2.5x optical zoom. While the main and ultra-wide angle lens have the same resolution, the telephoto sensor has been upgraded to a 50-megapixel Sony IMX856 sensor.

This supports OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), 2.5x optical zoom, and up to 50x digital zoom. So you’re zoomed shots should offer more details in higher magnification. Both devices house a 50-megapixel dual selfie camera setup on the front.

Pricing & Colors

Honor’s newer model is priced quite similar to the previous gen 100 Pro. However, it didn’t completely avoid the generation price hike. The Honor 200 Pro starts from 3,499 Yuan (roughly 483 US Dollars), which is 100 Yuan higher than the 100 Pro’s 3,399 Yuan starting price (roughly 475 US Dollars).

The latter was announced in Glass Black, Moon Shadow White, Monet Purple, and Butterfly Blue color options, while the former comes in Sky Blue, Coral Pink, Moonlight White, and Velvet Black colors. All in all, it seems like a decent successor but doesn’t really bring any drastic changes or improvements. It offers a newer chip and improved cameras while retaining the core design philosophy. So the Honor 200 Pro is a proper next-gen smartphone.

Ever since Honor was sold off by Huawei, it has been releasing two generations of number series smartphones every 6 months. This lineup is currently the brand’s bestseller. Thus, the company debuted it first in India while making its comeback.

As the Honor 90 lineup is now 6 months old, the brand is gearing up to launch the Honor 100 series. The successor is arriving later this week.

Over the last few days, we heard a lot about these phones via leaks and official teasers. We have enough information to compile them in a single article detailing everything about these upcoming handsets.

Let’s check out when they will get announced, how they will look, what specs they will offer, and how much they may cost.

Honor 100 Series Launch Date

The Honor 100 series will be launched in China on November 23. It will be presented at a press conference that will start at 1:30 PM GMT+8.

The event will be livestreamed on leading Chinese video streaming platforms, including the country’s largest microblogging platform Weibo.

Honor 100 Series Design

The Honor 100 series will be the first generation in the family to bring a completely new design since the Honor 50 from 2021. The devices will no longer arrive with two giant circular camera modules.

Instead, both vanilla and pro models will have different designs.  The latter variant will have an ocular camera module with three sensors. Whereas, the former will feature a rectangular island upon which a semi-circle part will consist of two sensors.

The regular Honor 100 will sport a glass panel on the rear and will be available in black, white, and a gradient option. On the other hand, the Honor 100 Pro’s back will include glass on one side and faux leather on the other. It will be offered in black, white, cyan, and purple colors.

Honor 100 Series Specifications

The Honor 100 series will flaunt a 6.78-inch quad-curved OLED display. The vanilla version will sport a single punch hole as opposed to a pill-shared cutout on the pro.

Further, the standard variant will be powered by the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. In contrast, the pro version will house a  much more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

But both of them will boot the same MagicOS software based on Android 14. They will even draw energy from an identical 5,450mAh battery and carry support for 100W charging.

Even the cameras will be the same on the two, except that the pro variant will have two additional cameras. The duo will come with an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony IMX906 primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide unit, and a 50MP Sony IMX816 selfie camera. The pro model will also have a 32MP telephoto shooter and a secondary 32MP selfie camera with an ultrawide lens.

Last but not least, these smartphones are said to come with a plastic frame, NFC, an IR blaster, an x-axis linear vibration motor, and dual stereo speakers.

Honor 100 Series Expected Price

Both Honor 100 and Honor 100 Pro are tipped to arrive in three memory configurations. They are tipped to carry the following price tags in China.

Honor 100

• 12GB + 256GB – ¥2,799 (~$390)
• 16GB + 256GB – ¥3,099 (~$430)

While the listing doesn’t unveil any additional details like pricing, it does shed light on the smartphone’s color options. Both Honor 100 and 100 Pro are listed with four color options on the platform: Moon Shadow White, Monet Purple, Gloss Black, and Butterfly Blue.

While Honor has remained tight-lipped about the smartphone’s specifications, recent leaks have revealed that the base model will feature the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. In contrast, the Pro model will be powered by Qualcomm’s flagship processor from last year, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

According to reliable tipster DCS, the Honor 100 series will feature a 1.5K Oasis eye-protecting screen with 3840Hz PWM dimming that will reduce eye-strain. 

Likewise, both smartphones are said to carry a 50MP main camera sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) around the back. Honor 100 Pro is also likely to offer an SLR-level photography experience, as hinted by an Honor executive. Notably, both models will also support 100W charging.

Honor 100/100 Pro spotted on Geekbench

The standard Honor 100 (model number “MAA-AN00”) was spotted on Geekbench equipped with a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset (model number “SM7550”).

The listing reveals peak SoC speed at 2.63GHz, 16GB of RAM, and Android 13 OS. In Geekbench tests, the Honor 100 scored 1139 points in single-core and 3375 points in multi-core benchmarks.

Similarly, the Honor 100 Pro was also spotted on Geekbench, revealing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset (model number “SM8550”) paired with an Adreno 740 GPU and a maximum clock speed of 3.19GHz. 

The device runs Android 13 and packs 16GB of RAM. In Geekbench tests, the Honor 100 Pro achieved 1882 points in single-core and 4923 points in multi-core benchmarks.

Based on the Geekbench listings, the Honor 100 series is likely to position itself in the premium mid-range smartphone segment.

More details about the smartphones will come out in the coming days.

Honor has officially unveiled its highly anticipated Honor 100 series, scheduled for an official release on November 23. The series will include the Honor 100 and the Honor 100 Pro, with notable distinctions in their design aesthetics. The revelations, including real-life images, shed light on the visual differences between the two models, especially highlighting the unique design elements of the Pro model.

Honor 100 and Honor 100 Pro design elements

The Honor 100 and Honor 100 Pro will showcase distinct design elements. The Honor 100 boasts three color options: black, white, and a gradient finish. Its camera setup adopts a classic rectangular shape, with a stylish semi-circular decorative band. Positioned in the middle are two cameras.

In contrast, the Honor 100 Pro introduces four color variants, including classic black and white, along with two dual-tone options in cyan and purple. What sets the Pro model apart is its innovative use of materials on the back panel. It involves a patchwork of glass and plain leather as you can see in the images. This unconventional approach presents a manufacturing challenge but adds a touch of sophistication to the device.

The camera module on the Honor 100 Pro takes a departure from traditional designs, featuring a shape inspired by the Möbius ring concept. Despite its seemingly disorderly appearance, the Möbius ring represents an infinite loop, adding a layer of symbolism to the phone’s aesthetics. Upon closer inspection, the Honor 100 Pro showcases three cameras on the rear, with a notable 50-megapixel main camera, complemented by OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) for enhanced photography capabilities.

Other leaked specifications include Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 for the Honor 100 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Honor 100 Pro.

Additionally, Honor has also provided details about the design of the Honor 100 and Honor 100 Pro, offering a glimpse of what can be expected from these upcoming devices.

The Honor 100 and Honor 100 Pro are now available for reservations through Honor Mall, Tmall, and JD. The official images of both smartphones available in these listings have revealed the front and rear designs. 

As can be seen, the Honor 100 and 100 Pro have a curved-edge OLED panel on the front. While the standard model has a small cutout for the front camera, the Pro model has a pill-shaped cutout, which suggests that it could be equipped with dual front-facing cameras.

Oppo and Honor are expected to launch the Reno 11 series and Honor 100 series in the coming weeks. We have been hearing about these devices, especially the latter, for quite a while now.

Both of them are rumored to be released in November. A tipster has now suggested their launch date as well as price range. Let’s go through the details.

A tipster who goes by 熊猫很禿然 (Panda is very bald) on Weibo says that the Oppo Reno 11 series and the Honor 100 series will be announced on the same day in China. He also reveals that they will compete with each other in the same price segment.

As per him, these smartphones will be launched in China on November 23. Further, they will retail around ¥2,000-¥3,000 in the country.

It is worth noting that the leaker has now edited his original post. He has removed the launch date and price range. The post now merely reads that these two phone lineups will compete with each other.

Anyways, as per an Honor Club post, the brand has planned a launch event for November 23. The company is yet to reveal the devices but they are most likely Honor 100 models.

On the other hand, Oppo just announced the HyperTone camera system tuned by Hasselblad for the Reno 11 series and other phones. Digital Chat Station claims that the next-gen Reno will go official by the end of November.

Therefore, we wouldn’t be surprised if both of them get announced on the same day as the tipster suggests.

In addition to the Honor 100 series, Honor is also said to be working on the Magic 6 lineup, which may comprise three models, such as the Magic 6, Magic 6 Pro, and Magic 6 Ultimate. The entire series is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. As far as the launch is concerned, it is likely to break cover in early February in China.

Just a couple of months ago, the Honor 90 Pro was announced in China. Now, it appears that the brand is already working on a successor to the series with a leak hinting at the launch timeline and key specs of the Honor 100 Pro model. So here are all the details.

Honor 100 Pro Specs

The news arrived from known tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared the information on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). The upcoming device will apparently sport an AMOLED display that supports 3,840Hz dimming and 1.5K resolution. It will likely offer at least 120Hz refresh rate, similar to its predecessor. Under the hood, the Honor 100 Pro will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is an upgrade over the Honor 90 Pro that came with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC.

The tipster further added that the high-end smartphone will house dual front facing cameras. Digital Chat Station believes that the device will enter internal testing next month. On the other hand, the launch of the Honor 100 Pro is expected to be sometime in early November 2023. Unfortunately, this is all the information that was revealed, although the 90 Pro hints at the Honor 100 Pro’s specifications.

The Honor 90 Pro is powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack, so the 100 Pro will likely offer a similar battery capacity. It also supports 100W fast charging. The 90 Pro houses up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, which the successor might retain as well. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation at the moment, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now.
