HONOR Launches HONOR 200 Series - Set to Rival the DSLR with Studio-Level Photography Capabilities

Hi Guys, 

HONOR is again disrupting the status quo with its highly anticipated launch of the HONOR 200 Series, aiming to usher in a new era of studio-level smartphone photography.

HONOR has disrupted the South African smartphone industry once more with the official launch of its latest addition to the Number Series – the HONOR 200 Series, comprising the HONOR 200 Lite, HONOR 200, and HONOR 200 Pro. This is an accessible mid-range lineup that delivers flagship-level performance and an unrivalled studio-level portrait photography experience.

HONOR hosted an exclusive launch event unveiling the devices to a host of media, stakeholders, and friends of the brand. During the launch event, the brand made landmark announcements of partnerships and collaborations it has pursued for the HONOR 200 Series campaign with much-loved brands in South Africa. This included a one-of-a-kind partnership with local streetwear fashion brands GALXBOY and GQ Magazine South Africa.

To set the HONOR 200 Series apart from competitors, HONOR joined forces with Parisian portrait photography house Studio Harcourt to co-engineer the HONOR AI Portrait Engine. This newly developed photography mode utilises HONOR’s AI technology to replicate Studio Harcourt’s signature lighting and shadow effects, streamlining a two-hour photoshoot process into a few simple steps.

The HONOR 200 Pro
The flagship model of the series has been equipped with advanced hardware and AI-powered software that can recognise the most subtle nuances of lighting. Featuring a 50MP Portrait Main Camera with a Super Dynamic H9000 Sensor, users can capture crystal-clear images with the perfect balance of light and shadows.

Additionally, the device features a 50MP Portrait Telephoto Camera and a customised Sony telephoto sensor to provide better light sensing capabilities to ensure even the tiniest details are captured on distant objects.

With 12GB of RAM and a 512GB storage drive, users can enjoy a seamless and hassle-free experience. Running on MagicOS 8.0, the HONOR 200 Pro offers AI-powered smart functionalities like Magic Portal, Magic Capsule, and Magic Ring to enhance and streamline the user experience.

HONOR is also very thrilled to announce that the Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF), the world’s largest gaming festival currently taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has named the HONOR 200 Pro as the official smartphone for the Esports World Cup.

The device will power esports competitions in popular mobile games like Free Fire, Honor of Kings, and the Women’s ML tournament – making it the ultimate choice for mobile gaming enthusiasts.

As the official device for the EWC, the HONOR 200 Pro stands out with its Snapdragon 8 Series Mobile Platform, boasting a CPU clock speed of up to 3GHz for smooth graphics rendering and real-time responsiveness. Its 5 200mAh Silicon-Carbon Battery provides up to 61 hours of use on a single charge, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay.

The HONOR 200
While not worlds apart from the Pro, the HONOR 200 does sport a few differences. While both devices feature the same camera setup and features, the HONOR 200 features a slightly smaller 6.7-inch AMOLED quad-curved display that offers a peak brightness of 4,000 nits and a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth and vibrant visuals.

Under the hood, the HONOR 200 is equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, up to 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. It is also powered by a 5 200mAh battery for hours of uninterrupted usage.

The HONOR 200 comes in Moonlight White and Black, while the Pro is available in Ocean Cyan and Black.

“HONOR developed the HONOR 200 Series to become the ultimate smartphone range for high-quality studio-level portrait photography. We want to make cutting-edge technology more accessible to the public and redefine the future of mobile photography, which is why partnering with Studio Harcourt was a significant milestone for the brand,” said CEO of HONOR South Africa, Fred Zhou.

Guests were led through the evening by effervescent hosts Tbo Touch and LootLove, and they were treated to live performances by Young Stunna and NaaqMusiQ, followed by DJ performances by DJ Zinhle and DJ Tira. They also got to see and experience the devices’ impressive studio-level capabilities first-hand.

Stationery Review 88: Luxor Ink Glide Fountain Pens

Hi Friends, 

Thanks to Luxor for bringing all the brands from around the world to India. I am really thankful to get some of them showcased for all of you to watch. Thanks and check out these Fluid Fountain Pens named Luxor Ink Glide which comes in various plastic barrels and colours. Check them out. 
Stationery Review 88: Luxor Ink Glide Fountain Pens

I am using a Luxor Ink Glide fountain pen using the Pelikan 4001 Violet Ink into one of the ink cartridges using a syringe. The pen was a little scratchy when I first started using the same but now over the time of 1-2 weeks, the same is now running smoothly in my hands. I love the colour of ink that I used inside the same and also this being the Fine or Extra fine nib though it's not written on the nib.

Stationery Review 87: Luxor Schneider LX Max Roller Pen 0.5mm (INR 60)

Hi Friends, 

Luxor collaborated with Schneider from Germany to bring a new range of roller pens to the Indian Market. The pen is named LX MAX and Cricket Superstart Virat Kohli is doing the advertisement for the same. I got these pens in 2 colours whereas they are available in all 4 - Red and Green along with these two Blue and Black.

Luxor and Pilot ended their multi-year collaboration in India. All my life I have seen those pens which were brought by these two brands together till last year. I have done some videos of those pens on my channel as well. 

This pen is the new collaboration that Luxor and Schneider have undertaken. The design has changed a lot because of IP rights etc but this one is also a great pen to write with. Virat Kohli has been onboarded as a brand ambassador for these pens. Both Schneider and Luxor have a lot of experience in bringing students' writing instruments over all these years. 

Writing with Luxor pens was always a luxury as I was growing up and I don't know how much money I have spent on the Hi-Tecpoint 05 pens. My classmates in school used to borrow my pen and take out/replace the nibs and would return my Luxor pen with their nib whose ball was out of the nib socket. This will immediately waste all the money you have spent on the pen and slowly I learned a lesson that keep this pen for homework at home rather than bringing it to school.

Hi Friends, 

I really loved the design of these Montex Trica Ball Pens. They are perfect for school and office work. Comes in these 4 coloured inks along with a similar body design to easily identify. 

Stationery Review 86: Montex Trica Ball Pens

Montex Trica Ball Pens are unique due to their design as this is the first time I have seen such cool looking pens in the general range of colours that is Blue, Black, Red and Green. I am sure these are the most popular versions of colours used all over the world for office and school use.

Stationery Review 85: Diamine Michael Fountain Pen Ink (12ml) @CultPens

Hi Friends, 

I bought these Cult Pens Diamine 12ml ink bottles in several colours and the first one to review is Diamine Michael. We have a total of 32 inks, which we will bring to you, and this is 2nd in the series of 32 inks. 
Stationery Review 85: Diamine Michael Fountain Pen Ink (12ml) @CultPens

Diamine Michael is a solid ink as it's a really darker shade towards the blue range. The same looks like jeans colour to me. The same I used in my Pierre Cardin Penomatic Deluxe Fountain Pen since the first day itself. The pen is unique and so is the ink. It's really darker and doesn't go into the black range as well as it stays within the blue colour universe.  

Locally in Johannesburg, South Africa the same is available at Sandton Stationery and Print Shop in Sandton City and online on Applebee Pens website. In Cape Town, the same is available at WriteGear online and retail store as well.

Stationery Review 84: Diamine Soft Mint Fountain Pen Ink (12ml) @CultPens

Hi Friends, 

I bought these Cult Pens Diamine 12ml ink bottles in several colours and the first one to review is Diamine Soft Mint. We have a total of 32 inks which we are going to bring to you. Keep looking for the same. 
Stationery Review 84: Cult Pens Diamine Soft Mint Fountain Pen Ink (12ml)

I really loved the Diamine Soft Mint ink as it's lighter than the green colour. It's more pastel in its behaviour. Check out my detailed review in the video. I have been using the same in my Flair Inky Woody Fountain Pen well since the first day. 

The colour is really nice if you like pastel kinds of colours and the base colour is green which makes it really unique. Locally in Johannesburg, South Africa the same is available at Sandton Stationery and Print Shop in Sandton City and online on Applebee Pens website. In Cape Town the same is available at WriteGear online and retail store as well.

Stationery Review 83: Unomax Executive Fountain Pen - Fine Nib (INR 50)

Hi Friends, 

I bought this Unomax Executive Fountain Pen for INR 50 only from one of the random stationery shops in Delhi NCR. I didn't buy it when I first saw the same in the shop. I think I took some time before investing money in the brand. I thought of buying it to just show it on my channel in a video. But to my surprise, I found this fountain pen to be really good. 
Stationery Review 83: Unomax Executive Fountain Pen - Fine Nib (INR 50)

In fact, I am carrying it all around and use it a lot. I really loved the blue ink cartridges it comes with. The body is made up of plastic and the nib size is Fine. One of the viewers commented on my Instagram channel about not liking the model he bought but I told him that this Executive one is really my favourite. I am using all kinds of starter, value segment and expensive fountain pens and I own them also so when I compare them I know what it is. 

Also, I am not sponsored by any of these brands so my review is truthful to what I feel about the same. In future even if the brand sends me their products my review will remain truthful based on the ability of the nib to glide on the paper.
