HONOR 200 Smart Launched.. The Best Cheap Phone of 2024
Competition in the low-end Android phone range is becoming increasingly fierce. Now you can find phones with OLED screens with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, or phones with up to 6 years of updates. This, even a few years ago, would have been unthinkable.
Now, HONOR has just launched a sub-$200 phone that seems to have no rival. We’re talking about the new HONOR 200 Smart, a 5G-enabled phone with a giant battery that’s probably the most powerful budget phone on the market. Here’s all the details.
The HONOR 200 Smart comes with a 6.8-inch LCD display with Full HD+ (1080p) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, and in terms of performance, it comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, accompanied by 4GB of RAM. The RAM can be expanded to 8GB thanks to HONOR RAM Turbo technology.
Now, what makes the HONOR 200 Smart stand out from other sub-$200 phones is its durability and autonomy. First of all, it has an IP64 certification against dust and water. Depending on the brand, it can withstand being dropped in a swimming pool without problems or can be washed with a stream of water for up to 3 minutes.
It also has the Swiss SGS Performance Certification. This ensures high resistance to drops and shocks. Finally, it is worth noting that it has a 5200mAh battery that provides up to 19 hours of video playback and 35W fast charging.
