Honor 100 Pro review

If you want a smartphone with good specifications but don't want to pay a high price, the Honor 100 Pro is the smartphone for you. Honor has implemented all the cutting-edge and leading-edge components it can and the end result is simply amazing. Be it the design or the display, you will fall in love with the smartphone at first sight. To power such a display, Honor used a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which is an excellent choice and we must commend Honor for that. The same applies to the backup battery, which is more than excellent.

You might think after presenting all this, that Honor must have tweaked the cameras to suit the budget smartphone it launched with, but that is not the case at all. In fact, the smartphone's camera performance frankly surprised us and is much better than we initially expected. It is the smartphone that users have been wanting in the budget segment. It is an excellent smartphone and you will love this decision. Talking about the downsides, there is a lack of wireless charging support but in any case, this could have increased the cost of the device.

However, if the Honor 100 Pro smartphones are not available for sale in your country, the mid-range Samsung and Xiaomi phones should be the ones for you. However, the final decision is up to you and your requirements, so choose accordingly.
