Here’s 4 powerful new HONOR Magic AI features you get with the HONOR 200 Series
Launched earlier in June, the HONOR 200 Pro stands out from the plethora of midrange offerings in the market on account of the fact that it has a flagship-grade triple 50MP rear array along with respectable specifications at a price point that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
In fact, the HONOR 200 Pro’s main 50MP camera culls the same 1/1.3-inch H9000 sensor used on the flagship HONOR Magic6 Pro. That’s not all, belying its midrange price point, the HONOR 200 Pro has dual OIS and EIS stabilisation, further enhancing videos and footage captured on the rear cameras.
Where it blows the competition out of the water is the fact that the HONOR 200 Pro is one of the first ever phones to specifically have its cameras tuned in collaboration with Studio Harcourt to offer professional-grade portrait photography. With this potent array of features, the HONOR 200 Pro offers exceptional value at its asking price of RM2,699.
Now, HONOR has made their latest midrange flagship camera phone even more tempting as they’re pushing a new Magic AI update that gives the HONOR 200 Pro as well as its sibling the HONOR 200 a host of new AI-powered features that would give full-fledged flagships a run for their money. Here’s the 4 most powerful new Magic AI features you get to enjoy on the HONOR 200 Pro as well as on the HONOR 200.
HONOR Magic AI – #1 AI Eraser
Table of Contents
Leveraging the latest generative AI, the HONOR 200 Pro introduces an AI Eraser feature that allows users to selectively remove elements from a photo, such as passersby or cars, while maintaining a flawless background like a pro without the need to use any photo editing software.
Perfect for capturing scenic shots in busy areas like the iconic Bukit Bintang walk or Pavilion mall’s fountain, AI Eraser can make it look like you’re the only one in the frame. Using intelligent algorithms, it identifies and deletes unwanted objects, then touches up the background to ensure a natural appearance. This feature will be available on the HONOR 200 Pro and HONOR 200 in a mid-September update.
@hitechcentury The Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro will be getting the new AI Eraser update in September that enables users to use AI to delete unwanted items in a photo like a pro! We got our hands on an early sample to see how AI Eraser fares! #honor200 #aieraser #honor200pro #fyp #malaysia #techtok #learnontiktok #hitechcentury #malaysia @honormalaysia ♬ วาเลนติน่า (Speed up) – Shineboys
HONOR Magic AI – #2 AI Magic Portal
Our daily lives online are filled with snippets of useful information from addresses of a restaurant we’d like to try, a critical message from family or friends or an image of something important that we’d like to buy or browse from websites and social media. Typically, transferring text or an image to another app on a smartphone is a chore with multiple steps. With HONOR’s AI Magic Portal, it’s as easy as it gets.
With AI Magic Portal on the HONOR 200 Pro, you simply have to highlight the item of text or, in the case of an image, simply do a screen capture and then drag the image or text to the edge of the screen.
From here, HONOR AI Magic Portal then offers a list of compatible apps that can interact with the text or image which covers most social media including Whatsapp, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and more.
Using AI Magic Portal, a once complicated multi-step operation is now simply a drag-and-drop job. Once you get used to how easy AI Magic Portal is to use and transfer snippets of content, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it! The HONOR AI Magic Portal Update also appears on the HONOR 200 too.
HONOR Magic AI – #3 AI Blur Private Info
One of the most challenging aspects of the digital-first world we live in is being mindful of our own privacy online especially when sharing photos or other details on social media as hackers and more nefarious people can make use of personal information like phone numbers, addresses and more to stage phishing attacks or worse.
With AI Blur Private Info, users of the HONOR 200 Pro as well as the HONOR 200 can selectively blur out private information before sharing a photo online for peace of mind.
HONOR Magic AI – #4 Smart Folder
In the course of a given day, we’re likely to use our preferred apps dozens of times but accessing or using a favourite function may likely also require multiple steps.
With Smart Folder in the latest Magic AI update, users are able to resize folders and even create function-specific app shortcuts in the HONOR 200 Pro
The latest Magic AI update adds Smart Folder capabilities to the HONOR 200 Pro and HONOR 200 that enables users to customise the size of favourite app folders to taste and also enable quick access features for selected apps in seconds.
HONOR 200 Pro Availability
In Malaysia, the HONOR 200 Pro with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage is available nationwide priced at RM2,699 in your choice of either Ocean Cyan or Moonlight White.
The HONOR 200 with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage is also available priced at RM2,199 while the 12GB RAM and 256GB variant is available priced at RM1,899 with your choice of Coral Pink, Moonlight White and Black colourways.
