Honestly, this Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor is good but its AnTuTu score is not good. Its normal AnTuTu score is 795701 when you start performance mode it has achieved an 828756 AnTuTu score. Normally BGMI gameplay AnTuTu score requires 7 lakes and you can play normally at 60fps smoothly.

Honor 200 gives a smooth user experience because it has Magic OS 8.0 based on Android 14 easily handles all social media apps like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, etc.

RAM – LPDDR4X

Honor 200 has a good LPDDR4X RAM but it is not the highest RAM type in the market in this price range. LPDDR4X RAM consumes less battery energy and has more power-saving capabilities, Honor 200 can handle casual gameplay and day-to-day tasks.

Storage – UFS 3.1

  • Honor 200 has a UFS 3.1 storage type. This storage type is good at this price under 32K.
  • However, Honor 200 has dual 5G bands but the 5G downloading speed is good. It supports fast file transfer when you transfer from one device to another device through a nearby share option its speed is high.

Honor 200 – AnTuTu and GeekBench Score

  • AnTuTu Score: 828756
  • GeekBench Single-core Score: 1147
  • GeekBench Multi-core Score: 3398
  • CPU Throttling: 67%

This Geek Bench and AnTuTu score indicate lower score and performance for this price under 33K.

Honor 200 has an AnTuTu score that is 828756 and BGMI gameplay AnTuTu score requires 7 lakes. Honor 200 achieves this AnTuTu score but it support 60fps gaming easily.

Its real-world performance not satisfied me. This allow you can play battleground Mobile India at lower setting smoothly.

And High Graphics demanding games like Genshin gameplay experience is poor and lagging issues notable.

Graphic Settings

Do you find Honor 200 5G best BGMI graphics setting? This table provides the best and smooth gameplay setting. Additionally, the 240Hz touch sampling rate delivers good game firing times.

So, Honor 200 BGMI smooth setting gyroscope is smoothly work, this phone enhancing your BGMI experience.

BGMI Gameplay

  • My Honor 200 phone delivers an average performance during one hour of BGMI gameplay with smooth + ultra setting all-time high 54fps and minimum 46fps.
  • In my experience, I notice some lag and no heating issues. This phone consistently maintains 46-50fps during TDM matches and in other maps like Erangle, Sanhok, and Livik it consistently delivered approx. 40fps.
  • Sometimes its frame rate drops to 40fps, but this phone quickly recovered 46-50fps and gives smooth performance.

Free Fire, COD and Genshin Gameplay Review

  • Honor 200 Free Fire gameplay supports 60fps at lower settings and gives smooth gameplay performance but in longer sessions, I notice some throttle, in my phone runs 54fps.
  • Honor 200 Call of Duty supports 40fps and delivers a good gaming experience with its bezel-less display but I notice it getting worm and some Throttle during gameplay.
  • And this phone Genshin gameplay runs 40fps like Call of Duty but with lower graphics and lower gameplay and the same lag and throttle and all is good.

Overall, this real gaming world BGMI, COD and Genshin mobile test is not expected in this price range. I do not recommend it because its price is 32,999 for the base model and you can find the best gaming phone under the 30,000 OnePlus Nord 4 best options for you.

Honor 200 Battery Test

  • Battery: 5,200mAh
  • Charger: 100W Super charging support
  • Time: 15 minutes 49% charge with official charge

Battery performance has a major role for every gamer. It comes with a Silicon-Carbon 5,200mAh battery and supports 100W superfast charging, but this 100W super fast charger is not included in the box it is the major drawback for the Honor 200 series.

Honor 200 a one-hour gameplay battery drains 17%, and you can non-stop play up to 6 hours easily backup. Normal day-to-day use like social media and web browsing can easily be backed up one day.

The Honor 100W Supercharger takes 15 minutes 49% charging and 40 minutes to fully charge, which is good but this 100W charger not include in the box. You can buy this charger separately. So Honor 200 has a long battery backup for casual gaming.

  • Frame Rate Drop: Sometimes its frame rate drops 40fps.

Overall, Honor 200 offers a good design and display battery but this phone supports casual gaming and at this price, you deserve a heavy gaming phone.

Conclusion

If you’re an Honor fanatic you can buy this phone it has a 6.7-inch AMOLED dual-curved FHD+ display, camera, battery, and clear Honor Magic OS 8.0 support. But you find the best gaming phone under 30,000 I recommend you skip this phone Because its Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor gives 8 lakes + AnTuTu score not provide the best gaming performance so you skip this phone.

However, if you’re a hardcore gamer and you find the best gaming phone under 30,000 you can buy OnePlus Nord 4. It has a 1.4 million AnTuTu score and gives top-level gaming performance. So, thank you for reading Trakin Raj’s review Honor 200 game test article.
