The world of work has changed drastically over the last five years. In 2019, daily trips to the office were the status quo. But in 2020, the world underwent its first major shift – the work-from-home culture. A year later, however, another shift occurred – the rise of content creation.
With no other outlet to stay entertained – everyone turned to social media and content creation. Today, the norm for absorbing content is through social media platforms. Content creators, storytellers and influencers use their creativity and charisma to fascinate, entertain and inspire millions around the world without ever having to set foot in a traditional office.
Smartphones have democratised content creation, allowing people the opportunity to share their stories, without the need for expensive equipment.
The ultimate device needs to have 5 important features to streamline the process of creating and editing quality content: good camera resolution, a long-lasting battery, a large storage capacity, good performance capabilities, and be dust and water resistant.
So, what is the perfect smartphone for content creators? The HONOR 200 Series, featuring the HONOR 200 5G and the HONOR 200 Pro 5G.
And here’s why:
Camera Quality Unmatched
HONOR recognises that a content creator’s most important tool is their camera setup. With this in mind, HONOR developed the HONOR 200 Series with a next-generation camera to help creators thrive.
The brand partnered with Parisian photography house, Studio Harcourt, to co-engineer the HONOR AI Portrait Engine, which utilises the Studio’s profound understanding of manipulating light and shadow to create stunning portrait imagery.
Both the HONOR 200 5G and HONOR 200 Pro 5G feature an impressive camera setup that includes a 50MP Portrait Main Camera with dual stabilisation (OIS + EIS), allowing users to capture clear and detailed images even in challenging lighting and motion-sensitive situations. Equipped with a 1/1.3-inch Super Dynamic H9000 Sensor, the device provides powerful light sensing capabilities and HDR support.
The Series also boasts a 50MP Telephoto Camera with a customised Sony IMX 856 Sensor for capturing stunning zoomed portraits with exceptional sharpness and clarity, and a 50MP Portrait Selfie Camera that offers automatic FOV switching for capturing exceptional selfies regardless of lighting conditions.
Battery Life for the Win
