Honor 200 series specs and camera
Portrait photography masters
A combination of dual 50MP cameras, including the telephoto lens, makes for a quality zoom and bokeh photography on the back of the Honor 200 Pro, but the front-facing camera is 50MP as well, for the ultimate in portrait photos no matter where the framing goes.
The 50MP Portrait Main Camera offers what Honor calls a Super Dynamic H9000 Sensor tailored by AI algorithms to achieve "the perfect balance of light and shadow in even challenging lighting scenarios."
The 50MP Portrait Telephoto Camera offers a custom-made Sony telephoto sensor with wider dynamic range that can snap cleaner images of faraway objects with more detail and ensure elaborate bokeh effect for portrait shots.
Honor used the renowned Parisian Studio Harcourt's portrait photography mastery to arrive at its AI Portrait Engine that powers the Honor 200 series:
HONOR’s product team have worked closely with Harcourt’s expert photographers to analyze thousands of images and co-engineer the HONOR A. By combining Studio Harcourt’s expertise and artistry with HONOR’s cutting-edge platform-level AI capabilities, the HONOR 200 Pro enables users to manipulate light and shadow, the foundation of studio-level portraits, to get the perfect shot every time.
In addition, a collaboration with renowned photographer Rankin in the realm of studio portraits adds further credence to the Honor 200 series photography prowess.
