HONOR 200 Series Harmoniously Blends Hardware and Software to Reimagine Smartphone Portrait Photography

The HONOR 200 Series was crafted to elevate portrait photography, and sets a new bar for what users will come to expect from their smartphones. Through a revolutionary combination of hardware and intelligent software, the HONOR 200 Series excels in a variety of challenging scenarios that are usually difficult to photograph correctly. Equipped with various groundbreaking AI-powered features, the HONOR 200 Series makes it easier than ever for users to capture every unfolding moment in their lives, ensuring that every detail no matter how small, is forever remembered.

An AI Portrait Camera That Always Captures Your Best Side

At the heart of the HONOR 200 Series is the 50MP Triple Studio-Level AI Portrait Camera. A 50MP Portrait Main Camera, 50MP Portrait Telephoto Camera, and 50MP Portrait Selfie Camera work together to capture incredible detail across a variety of angles and scenes. The 50MP Portrait Main Camera is equipped with the industry-leading 1/1.3-inch Super Dynamic H9000 sensor on the HONOR 200 Pro version which provides up to 31% better light sensing performance when compared to other smartphones in the similar segment. The extra-large sensor allows for better light detection and improved brightness, even in difficult lighting situations. The HONOR 200 Series also features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), which provides enhanced stability when taking portrait shots in low-light, or when capturing rapidly moving subjects. This feature also excels during video capture, ensuring that any footage is recorded with the same stability and accuracy found on professional equipment.

With portrait photography being a flagship feature of the HONOR 200 Series, the 50MP Telephoto Camera paired with a customized Sony IMX 856 Sensor ensures that every photo is captured with the most realistic colors and lighting as possible. The 2.5x optical zoom allows users to capture subjects or a portrait at a zoom range of 68mm, thus creating some truly unique photos and memories. OIS is also available for this telephoto camera, which makes sure that no mater how zoomed-in a photo is, the resulting image is always clear and sharp with minimal effort.

To capture the most mesmerizing selfies, the 50MP Portrait Selfie Camera on the HONOR 200 Series guarantees the best images whether you are indoors, outdoors, in a group, or posing on your own. Powered by an upgraded HONOR RAW Domain Algorithm, the camera can quickly analyze lighting and subjects to capture the best selfie possible. It also features an automatic FOV switching between 1X and 0.8X, which makes it easier to capture group selfies so that no one gets left out. 

Turn Photographs Into Masterpieces Through The Expertise Of Studio Harcourt

The HONOR 200 Series brings a unique collaboration with Studio Harcourt to breathe new life into portrait photography. Mostly known for incredibly detailed portraits, Studio Harcourt lent its expertise to HONOR to craft three distinct portrait modes, based on Studio Harcourt’s own iconic photography style. Harcourt Vibrant, Harcourt Color, and Harcourt Classic offer three very distinct portrait modes to allow users to unleash their creative side and elevate their portrait photographs to breathtaking new heights. These three styles use sophisticated vignette and shadow processing to mimic Studio Harcourt’s unmistakeable look and feel in every portrait photo, making each image appear as if it was taken in a studio.

Condensing Studio Harcourt’s expertise into a smartphone camera was no easy task, but through an intense process involving more than 20 Studio Harcourt and HONOR imaging experts, an incredible new portrait system was born: the HONOR AI Portrait Engine. Through analysis of over 1,000 different lighting scenarios and millions of datasets, the HONOR AI Portrait Engine was able to observe Studio Harcourt’s lighting and photography  methods and replicate them in a flawless manner, resulting in incredibly detailed images that were well-lit and framed perfectly.

The defining element of Studio Harcourt’s photographs is how the subject is lit with several different lights to create the right atmosphere. Replicating this look on a smartphone is something that has never been attempted before, but the HONOR 200 Series handles this challenge easily thanks to AI Shadow and Light Enhancement. Six light and shadow parameters are carefully analyzed, including position, brightness, level, and temperature, along with identifying the subject’s skin color and overall scene brightness. The details are then compared against millions of datasets to craft the perfect image with the correct balance of light and shadow, so that every image looks as detailed as if it was captured with a professional camera.

Master Nighttime Photography To Capture Every Cherished Moment 

Nighttime photography continues to pose a challenge to most smartphone cameras, mostly due to poor lighting conditions that introduce a lot of blur or noise to an image. The HONOR 200 series tackles this problem through its AI-Enhanced Night Mode, which captures detailed photos even with challenging lighting conditions. By intelligently analyzing the subject background and lighting conditions, in addition to the AI algorithm and large sensors, the HONOR 200 Series can produce stunning bokeh effects to capture the perfect nighttime photo, ensuring that the subject is captured perfectly in the spirit of the moment.

The unique AI Stereo-based Bokeh Algorithm on the HONOR 200 Series helps to produce a stunning bokeh effect that is as iconic as one produced by a professional camera. It uses the main and ultra-wide lenses for each frame to correctly make background adjustments depending on the distance to the subject, ensuring that no details or edges are excessively blurred or sharpened. In addition, it uses AI-powered Portrait Detail Enhancement to detect finer details on a subject such as strands of hair, to ensure that they don’t get lost in the background. Other facial characteristics such as a person’s brow, nose bridge, and more are also enhanced to create a more detailed and professional look for each portrait photograph. The end result is an image with exceptional quality and professional-level lighting effects, all captured thanks to the powerful HONOR AI Portrait Engine.

With both hardware and software working together to capture stunning photographs every time, the HONOR 200 Series sets itself apart as the master of portrait photography. Through the iconic pairing of HONOR’s AI-powered imaging technology and Studio Harcourt’s timeless expertise, the HONOR 200 Series delivers an unmatched level of confidence to users who want to capture their most important and memorable moments as they unfold.
