Lei Technology was invited to the scene to participate in and report on the event, and witnessed the official release of the first model cooperated by Honor and Yagu Image Studio, the Honor 200 series.

Honor 200, unwilling to be just a "sub-flagship"

The digital series has always been Honor's main product line of fashion, light and thin, and in the past few generations, it has basically maintained a differentiated style of playing with "texture", which has made it gain a lot of attention among many competitors who mainly target the offline market. But since the beginning of the Honor 100 series last year, the digital series has even had a hint of "leapfrogging" ideas.

In terms of hardware, the Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro are equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 7 and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 mobile platforms respectively, the latter is a common configuration for mid-range phones this year, and its performance is almost the same as that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but it has a slight advantage in power balance.

Of course, from a rational point of view, the Honor 100 and Honor 100 Pro are also a combination of Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in terms of performance, and the theoretical performance improvement is not too obvious. But for a half-generation upgraded digital series, such a performance iteration makes sense.

What really makes the Honor 200 series have "leapfrogging" space is its peripheral configuration, such as screen, image, heat dissipation, etc.

The Honor 200 series comes standard with an Oasis eye protection screen with a resolution of 1.5K, support a 120Hz refresh rate, 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and a local peak brightness of 4000 nits. In addition, this generation of digital series also debuted the "AI sleep aid" function, that is, based on the learning ability of the magic model and MagicOS 8.0, to help users get better sleep quality in three dimensions: sleep habits, sleep intentions and sleep environment.

For example, when you want to take a nap at noon, the Honor 200's AI Sleep Aid can understand that you don't need too deep sleep and don't have a sleeping environment like at home, so it will adjust the sleeping environment according to the actual situation.

Qinghai Lake battery is also listed as the three major skills of glory with eye protection, yes, this digital series also uses Qinghai Lake battery. The Honor 200 series is equipped with a 5200mAh Qinghai Lake battery that supports 100W fast charging, while the Honor 200 Pro also supports an additional 66W wireless charging, which is directly benchmarked against the flagship Magic6 Pro.

What's more, including stereo dual speakers, infrared remote control, multi-function NFC, wet hand touch and other peripheral configurations that have a great impact on the user's actual experience, the Honor 200 series also has everything, and it has not been left behind at all.

Glory200Series this time to the public"menacing"Feeling,On the one hand,The standard screen、Speakers、Qinghai Lake battery,Basically benchmark its own flagshipMagic6Series,And in the case of reasonable price control,The natural advantage of the digital series is the feel and fashion design,These parts are even better than the flagship series; On the other hand, the Honor 200 series debuted a joint collaboration with the Paris Aghu Image Studio, which even the Magic6 series could not enjoy, allowing the digital series to be used first.

In fact, for the Honor 200 series, the image is the real highlight.

The first Yagu co-brand, the digital series finally stood up?

The co-branding of mobile phone brands and professional cameras began in 2016, and in the following nearly ten years, almost all mainstream brands have found suitable camera brands to jointly create a new chapter of exclusive mobile imaging. I still remember that Honor said at the Magic6 series press conference that there are not many camera brands on the market that can be co-branded with Honor, implying that they will not choose the same co-branded scheme like their friends.

Indeed, the Yagu portrait debuted on the Honor 200 series is not a professional camera brand collaboration, but a "technical collaboration".

Founded in 1934, Aggo is a Paris-based photography studio known for its stylized portrait photography. Over the decades, he has created works of art for celebrities such as the President of the People's Republic of China, the Queen of Jordan, the movie star Sophie Marceau, the football star Zinedine Zinedine, the mother of fashion, Coco Chanel, and the designer Jean-Paul Gaultier.

The reason why a large number of celebrities can be admired is mainly because Ya Gu has a unique control of the art of light and shadow when taking portrait photos, whether it is a black and white portrait or a color portrait, the photographer can always use the light and dark features to express the emotions of the subject. This is one of the reasons why Honor chose to work with Yagu instead of a professional camera brand.

In terms of hardware, the Honor 200 Pro is equipped with the same H9000 sensor as the Magic6 series, with 50 million pixels, 1/1.3-inch outsole, and F1.9 ultra-large aperture. The Honor 200 series is equipped with the same 50-megapixel telephoto lens, F2.4 aperture, and supports OIS optical image stabilization. There are three styles of Yadu portraits, namely black and white, vivid and textured, all of which are taken from the classics of Yagu portrait photography.

According to reports, in order to restore the effect of Yagu images on light and shadow, color, emotion and sense of space at a 1:1 level, Honor fed a large amount of training data to the image model, and after more than 400 days of repeated training, it is not only enough to restore, but even better than Yagu images in some scenes.

Although Yagu's portrait portrait is currently only available in portrait mode, Xiao Lei found that after the meeting, he found that this kind of shadow tone is also very good in daily shooting, especially in black and white mode, if it can be used to sweep the street and capture photos, it may also have a lot of wonderful uses.

I have to say,Glory200SeriesThe cooperation with Yagu Imaging is quite successful,After all, the current mobile image field for portrait processing is still in the exploration stage,Although Honor is slightly behind in terms of film tone and creating a characteristic image brand,But portrait photography is not inferior to other competing products。 In this case, choosing to work with the top studio in the industry is quite effective.

Volume portrait photography has become a new way to play in the mid-range market

As a hot development direction in the field of mobile imaging in recent years, almost every mobile phone brand is constantly looking for the most suitable solution for the brand tonality, and gradually jumping away from the sweet to greasy "sugar water tablet" thinking, making portrait photography begin to train new ideas on top of texture.

The mid-range market has always been the price level with the most creative space in the mobile phone market, in the price range of 2000 to 4000 yuan, whether it is performance first, texture first, or photography tools, you can find the right model under any demand. The HONOR Digital series started from the HONOR 90 to try to create the "best portrait photography" solution in the mid-range market, and after two iterations, coupled with the technical cooperation with Yagu, it has now formed a unique portrait photography style.

But beyond the portrait, is there any merit in the Honor 200 series? Of course, but we need to look at the selling price first:

16GB+1TB：4499元

Combined with the price, the advantages of the Honor 200 series are about to come out.

Compared with the flagship Magic6 series, the Honor 200 series can be exchanged for the same outsole main camera sensor at half the price, the same high-density Qinghai Lake battery, 100W fast charging and 66W wireless charging, and more importantly, the Honor 200 series aims at the popular portrait photography, winning with texture in a crowd of "sugar water tablets", which is also a good choice for many consumers who pay attention to images.

If you pay more attention to the overall balance, then the Honor 200 Pro has more complete performance, heat dissipation, and wireless charging, which is a rare "bucket machine" in the market. If you're just looking for a durable, thin and light midrange, the standard version of the Honor 200 is a bit better.
