I. Foreword: Honor joins hands with Yagu to bring the industry's first Yagu portrait mode
Since Honor Digital Series adjusted its brand focus, it has always adhered to the positioning of image flagship, from the 3840Hz high-frequency dimming screen and 200 million pixel photo camera of Honor 90 series to the oasis eye protection screen and SLR-level portrait main camera led by Honor 100 Pro, each generation of products has demonstrated Honor's deep understanding of portrait photography.
Now, Honor has reached a technical cooperation with the French Yagu Studio, which has a long history of portrait photography, and has jointly launched the Yagu Photo Portrait Master function on the entire Honor 200 series of cell phones, bringing the industry's first Yagu Portrait Three Mode.
If the Honor 90/100 series of portrait photography focuses on the capture of beauty, then in the Honor 200 series, it is further sublimated to the artistic interpretation of light and shadow.
Now, we at Fast Tech have gotten our hands on this newly released Honor 200 Pro.
A, Yagu bringing the artistic experience of light and shadow
The Honor 200 Pro uses a combination of a 50-megapixel triple prime photo camera, a 50-megapixel light and shadow telephoto lens, and a 112° ultra-wide angle macro lens in its rear camera configuration.
The focus of this generation remains on portrait photography, and the Yagu Photo Portrait Master is the result of a collaboration between Honor and Yagu Studio.
Yagu Studio, founded in 1934, adheres to the creative concept of “sculpture with light and shadow”, and black and white is precisely the characteristic mark of Yagu, which never uses flash, but adopts the light and shadow technique of shooting traditional black and white movies, to discover the inner temperament of the characters, and shape images such as “sculpture with light”. "The collaboration between Honor and YAGU is not a simple matter.
The cooperation between Honor and Yagu is not a simple superimposition of filters, but through the in-depth analysis of the light and shadow information of a large number of classic photographs, combined with AI and algorithmic technology, to create a light and shadow enhancement path algorithm, which can be based on the characteristics of different light and shadow scenarios, designed to optimize the optimal light and shadow strategy, and ultimately recreate the texture of the classic light and shadow portrait on the Honor 200 series.
B, Honor Oasis eye protection screen is upgraded again, and the brightness can reach up to 4000nit.
The Honor 200 Pro is equipped with the Honor Oasis eye protection screen with 3840Hz PWM ultra-high frequency dimming, and has been upgraded in terms of eye protection functions.
Through the Natural Color Display 2.0 and AI sleep-assisted display technology, it provides users with a more comfortable visual experience and reduces the impact of strobe on the eyes.
At the same time, the local peak brightness of the screen is as high as 4000nits, which ensures that a clear and detailed picture quality can be presented in a variety of lighting environments.
C, the third generation Snapdragon 8s chip + GPU Turbo X game engine strong combination
In terms of hardware configuration, the Honor 200 Pro is equipped with a third-generation Snapdragon 8s chip and a Honor Ultra-Thin Wide Area Stainless Steel Bionic VC, which ensures stable high performance.
In addition, it is equipped with Honor's own GPU Turbo X gaming engine, so that players can also enjoy a smooth gaming experience in the Honor 200 Pro.
Next, we test the performance of the Honor 200 Pro
Appearance: Moonshadow white color is very texture The flow of the coast can be seen in the light form
Honor 200 Pro is a floating streamline quad-curved screen, realizing the full depth of the quad-curved screen, which combines the feel of the curved screen and the experience of the straight screen.

The top and bottom of the Honor 200 Pro are equipped with the usual noise-canceling microphone, speaker, USB-C port, SIM card slot, infrared and so on.
It is worth mentioning that the stereo dual speakers of the Honor 200 series support 80dB volume, and also support HONOR Histen spatial audio and AI noise reduction for video calls, which bring users a clear and durable acoustic experience.
The 100W charger included in the package.
Third, the image experience: Yagu light and shadow photo master plus support black and white can highlight the light and shadow texture
In the camera specifications, Honor 200 Pro uses a 50-megapixel three main camera photo camera, which is the main camera for the Yagu Guangying flagship main camera H9000, with a 1/1.3-inch large bottom, is the Honor of the history of the largest digital series.
Specification support f/1.9 aperture, AF + OIS two-in-one memory metal motor, the use of 7P lens, can realize the four-in-one to reach 2.4μm equivalent large pixels, the light-sensitive area increased by 44%, low-brightness noise decreased by 105%.
And with 50 million light telephoto lens, which is the Honor and Sony jointly customized IMX856 super large bottom sensor, f/2.4 large aperture, OIS optical stabilization, support 2.5 times optical zoom, 50 times digital zoom.
The ultra wide-angle lens, on the other hand, supports 112° FOV, which can take into account macro, and can realize 2.5 cm ultra-short focusing distance.
Honor also has nearly a hundred years of portrait photography precipitation of the French Yagu studio technology cooperation, in the Honor of 200 on the whole system together to create a Yagu light and shadow portrait master, to the industry's first Yagu portrait three mode, we will test it.
Yagu Vivid
Texture
Elegant Classics
Honor 200 Pro replicates the Yagu's concept of light and shadow through triple AI technology, presenting three Yagu portrait styles: vivid, texture, and classic. The picture above was taken in Yagu's vivid, Yagu's texture, and Yagu's classic modes, respectively.
The light and shadow effect of Yagu Classic Portrait is very noteworthy, it is not a direct rough application of black and white filters, based on the powerful hardware configuration + Al technology, according to the characteristics of different light and shadow scenes, to design the optimal light and shadow optimization strategy.
Ultimately, in the imaging, accurately captured the character's demeanor and emotions, retaining the character's original contours at the same time, but also the light and shadow information is truly restored, easy to shoot a very three-dimensional sense of texture full of portrait photographs.
Yagu Vivid is more in favor of usual location shooting in style, and Yagu Texture is slightly retro in style.
--Principal Camera
--Photo
--Ultra Wide Angle
We used the Pride 200 Pro shot some buildings, you can see that in all kinds of scenes have a relatively good imaging performance, are enough to show rich details and full color, both resolution and and light texture are very good, in the style of more pleasing to the eye.
Fourth, the game test: the game insert frame can make the “original God” break through the frame rate limit to achieve 90 FPS
Hardware configuration, honor 200 Pro will also not disappoint. The machine is equipped with a third-generation Snapdragon 8s processor, and supplemented with GPU Turbo X touch enhancement technology, GPU Turbo X picture quality enhancement technology, GPU Turbo X AI scheduling technology based on three major technologies in one of the GPU Turbo X game engine, which can maximize the performance of the game to bring players a smooth experience.
In terms of cooling specifications, it adopts an ultra-thin ultra-thin wide-area stainless steel bionic VC cooling solution with a total area of 5564mm2, which, together with the fourth-generation high-thermal-conductivity graphite sheet, achieves a cooling specification of 6W45°C. Compared to traditional copper VC, the weight is reduced by 28% and the thickness is reduced by 6%-14%, which allows the VC cooling area to be increased by as much as 19%, and the VC heat-conducting performance to be increased by as much as 23%.
The Honor 200 Pro we got is the 12GB+512GB version, and the following are all running in performance mode + game mode. For the game testing part, we chose 2 extremely mainstream handheld games: namely, Honor of Kings and Original God, the former can be used as a benchmark for frame rate and temperature, and the latter is used to examine the device's upper limit when playing at high loads.
1, the king of Honor
In “Honor of Kings”, we changed the frame rate to very high, the resolution to ultra-high, at this time the total quality of the screen is extreme.
During the game, the average power consumption was 3.23W, and the frame energy consumption was 37.2 FPS/W. The average power consumption of the Honor 200 Pro was 3.23W.
In terms of temperature, the back chip area is only 39.5 degrees Celsius at the highest, and the grip area (P1) is only 37 degrees Celsius, so during the game, the impact of the temperature can hardly be felt.
2, the original God
In the “original God” we will choose the preset image quality into a very high, based on this will be the game frame rate to 60 frames.
During the test of “Original God”, in the main city of Fontainebleau, the use of night orchids, early grapefruit, such as characters can move quickly, randomly run the map for 10 minutes.
The average frame rate of the 10-minute test of “Original God” was 55.31 FPS.
As you can see from the graph above, the overall curve benchmark is at 60 FPS, although it will drop to about 45 FPS during the period, but quickly returned to 60 FPS, which should be the temperature control in the automatic decision-making.
Although the fluctuations are noticeable, there were no lagging or frame dropping issues during the game.
During the game, the average power consumption was 6.04W, and the frame energy consumption was 9.15 FPS/W. The average power consumption was 6.04W, and the frame energy consumption was 9.15 FPS/W.
In terms of temperature, the maximum 44.5 degrees Celsius in the chip area of the body, and 38.4 degrees Celsius in the grip area.
The grip area is very bright, only 1.4 degrees Celsius higher than the “King of Honor”, but because of the problem of heat dissipation efficiency, you can still feel a certain temperature in the game, and did not cause a certain impact on the hand feeling, you can still continue to play.
The virtual solo display technology carried by the previous generations of the Honor Digital Series has also been inherited by the Honor 200 Pro. Simply put, after turning on this feature, it can realize beyond the native frame rate in the game, bringing a doubled smooth experience.
Enhanced Frame Rate:
Here's a test of how ProtoGod performs in very high quality + 60 fps + frame rate enhancement, where the real-time rendering frame rate comes in at 92 FPS.
After turning on the frame rate enhancement, 10 minutes of testing “Proto-God”, there is no obvious frame dropping problem, very stable, the final average frame rate results in 91.09 FPS.
The power consumption has not changed much from the default, only 6.2W, which can be regarded as a fluctuation error, and the frame energy consumption has also reached 14.7 FPS/W, which is a very stable average.
In terms of temperature, the maximum 45 degrees Celsius in the chip area of the body, 39.6 degrees Celsius in the grip area, an increase of about 1 ℃.
V. Charging and battery life: 100W fast full blood only takes half an hour to provide more than 10 hours of battery life
Honor 200 Pro built-in flagship Qinghai Lake battery, which is a kind of silicon carbon negative battery technology developed by Honor itself, with a battery energy density of 740Wh/L, compared with the previous generation of graphite system to improve 5.56%, able to increase the capacity by 200mAh in the case of battery volume reduction, thus bringing a 5200mAh capacity battery in the body of 8.2mm.
The battery adopts the second generation of triple lug mono telecom technology, which is smaller than the dual cell, has a longer and safer service life without discharge depletion, and generates less heat when charging.
In terms of charging, it supports 100W wired super fast charging, 66W wireless super fast charging, and wireless reverse charging, which can easily provide power support for headphones, bracelets, cell phones and other devices.
--Charging test
The actual test of the Honor 200 Pro's 100W super fast charging, charging from 5% to 48% in 10 minutes, and 80% in 20 minutes.
After that, the charging speed slowed down significantly and entered the trickle protection charging mode, which took about 13 minutes, or 33 minutes to charge to full blood.
The Honor 200 Pro also supports Smart Charging Mode and Extreme Charging 2.0, the former of which intelligently recognizes charging scenarios and automatically adjusts the charging state to provide a better charging experience while extending battery life; the latter of which automatically turns on the Extreme Charging Mode by intelligently learning the user's habits without the need for manual triggering.
--Battery life test
For the battery life test, we use a professional battery life test tool, Battery Dog, produced by Fast Tech, to conduct the test.
On the test items, the default will be carried out up to 20% of the power test, at the same time, all test items including CPU high pressure, CPU multi-threading, AI recognition, image browsing, video playback and web browsing will be ticked, through the simulation of the user's use of the scenario, to restore the real load in the maximum degree, infinitely close to the real power consumption situation.
During the test, in order to ensure that the environmental variables of all models tested remain uniform as well as to ensure the accuracy of the test scores, Battery Dog automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to 50% and turns off the auto-brightness, and the volume is adjusted to 30%.
After the battery dog test, from 100% consumption to 20% power, will be able to adhere to 8 hours and 11 minutes, which translates into a total endurance of more than 10 hours or so, can meet the user all day intermittent use.
Six, summarize: “portrait of Hermes” Pingtai reproduced a hundred years of classic
Since the cell phone with computational photography technology, it relies on powerful algorithms, not only to solve the problem of the user's lack of shooting skills, poor photo results, but also in the subsequent development of the combination of powerful lens module, so that white users can also shoot a texture full of photos, which is undoubtedly a great leap forward in cell phone photography technology.
Honor has a unique and deep understanding of portrait photography, not only continuing the original portrait features, but also fine polishing in light and shadow and texture. With unique AI algorithms, it has successfully integrated the century-old classic portrait photography technology into the phone, bringing users a professional-grade portrait shooting experience.
In addition, the gaming experience is still not bad, the third-generation Snapdragon 8s chip + GPU Turbo X gaming engine can easily break through the rendering limitations of popular games such as the Original God, and run stably at an average frame rate of 90 FPS, which is smoother and more stable than the native version, which is quite bright.
If you love portrait photography and want a phone that can take texture-filled photos on the fly, then the Honor 200 Pro will definitely be ideal for you.
