Just a few weeks after it officially launched, the HONOR 200 Pro is now sold out! With an impressive array of hardware mixed with a solid Harcourt Studio AI Portrait Mode, the HONOR 200 Series made waves when it was first announced on their official social channels. With a very competitive price point of Php 24,999 for the HONOR 200 and Php 29,999 for the HONOR 200 Pro, it’s not really a wonder how much HONOR fans and Pinoy tech enthusiasts would gravitate towards these two offerings from the brand. That being said, if you’re looking to get your hands on an HONOR 200 Pro, you’ll have to wait a while because you’ll be hard-pressed to get your hands on a unit now.
“This is a good problem for us, to be honest. Filipinos are getting more and more meticulous now in choosing their smartphones and it’s such a delight to see that they trust us. We are very confident with the performance of HONOR 200 Series and we will for sure replenish our stocks nationwide,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.
This isn’t the first time the brand has completely sold out their stocks. When the crazy-durable HONOR X9b first came out, the brand sold its units just a few weeks after the initial launch. They were able to replenish stocks quickly and HONOR X9b is still a crowd-pleaser more than 6 months down the line.
Redefining AI Portrait Photography
HONOR 200 Series made its mark in the industry particularly because of the brands collaboration with Harcourt Studio — one of Europe’s most storied Art Studios. A photo session at Harcourt Studio nowadays would set you back an average of 2000 Euros. But while quite expensive, having your photo taken by Harcourt Studio is a sign of prestige and belonginess into a world that was once reserved for seasoned French Actors and Dignitaries. HONOR, in partnership with Harcourt Studio, co-engineered the HONOR AI Portrait Engine, unlocking the mastery of studio-level portrait photography on smartphones.
Now, even everyday mundane activities and subjects can be made into stunning works of art with just a click from your smartphone. The HONOR 200 Pro also comes with a 50MP Portrait Main Camera with a flagship-level 1/1.3-inch Super Dynamic H9000 Sensor. This, coupled with the dual stabilization (OIS+ EIS), ensures clear and detailed images even in challenging lighting conditions. Aside from this, the device also comes with a 50MP SONY IMX856 Telephoto Camera, a 12MP Ultrawide, and a 50MP Portrait Selfie Camera that offers automatic FOV switching, producing exceptional selfies in any lighting condition.
Personally, we feel that the HONOR 200 Series is one of the pivotal releases from the brand. We cannot wait to see more from the partnership of both HONOR and Harcourt Studio in future releases. Interested in getting one? While it might be hard getting the in-demand HONOR 200 nowadays, you can get other HONOR devices for up to Php 14,000 off this Back-to-School Payday Sale on Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
