Honor has rolled out a major software update for its Honor 200 series smartphones in India, bringing a host of flagship features powered by artificial intelligence (AI) along with enhanced security. The new update, known as MR2, integrates Google’s September 2024 security patch, reinforcing the security infrastructure of the devices while also boosting overall performance. Both the Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro models are set to benefit from this upgrade.
Key Features of the MR2 Update
The Honor 200 series now boasts several cutting-edge AI features designed to enhance user experience. One of the most exciting additions is the AI Eraser, a powerful tool that allows users to remove unwanted elements—such as objects, text, or backgrounds—from their photos with ease. This feature is powered by Google Cloud’s advanced generative AI, enabling seamless editing directly on the smartphone.
Another standout feature introduced with the MR2 update is Face-to-Face Translation, a real-time translation tool that supports both voice and text inputs. This feature is particularly useful for users who engage in multilingual conversations, providing instant translation in several languages.
In addition to these AI features, the update also includes critical security enhancements related to USB connectivity. When switching between charging and data transfer modes while connected to a PC or other compatible device via USB, the Honor 200 series will now require user authentication to ensure data safety.
Furthermore, the update brings improvements to the split-screen functionality, enabling users to save app combinations as home screen shortcuts for faster access. This makes multitasking on the Honor 200 series smoother and more convenient.

The MR2 update is expected to be fully rolled out by September 13, 2024. To install the update, users can follow these simple steps:
