Hey Explorers, 
Welcome back. I hope you all are doing well and enjoying exploring the magic of the Magicnation Community. Today, I'm back with another thread to share a detailed Battery review of the HONOR 200 Pro, and I'm impressed with the battery management of this smartphone.

Before starting with the review let's know about the technology used in making the battery of the HONOR 200 Series. HONOR 200 Pro is equipped with a 5200mAh Silicon-Carbon Battery for worry-free, all-day power, anytime and anywhere.
As you can probably guess from the name, Silicon-Carbon batteries use a silicon-carbon material to store energy instead of the typical lithium, cobalt and nickel found in the lithium-ion battery that powers your current smartphone. On top of this, silicon-carbon batteries have a higher energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries. This means that manufacturers can fit a higher battery capacity in the same size battery or slim down a device without reducing the capacity at all.

Battery Review -

To test the battery life of the HONOR 200 Pro, I fully charged the smartphone to 100% at night and started using it the next day. I noticed a 3% battery drain overnight with Data & Bluetooth on, but it didn't consume more power when not in use. In the morning around 9:30 am, with 97% battery remaining, I started a Google Analytics course for about 1 hour (9:30 to 10:30 am) and observed a 10% battery drain, bringing the battery down to 87%.


After that, I received a call from a friend, and we talked for about 1 hour (from 10:49 to 11:50 am). During this call, I observed a 2% battery drop, which is impressive, leaving me with 85% battery remaining. Note that during the call, the screen was off, resulting in less battery consumption, and it wasn't included in the screen-on time (SOT).


Next, I watched a 2-hour (12-01:50 pm) movie on Amazon Prime at high resolution with Bluetooth earphones connected and the multimedia experience is amazing on HONOR 200 Pro. I recorded the battery drain of 14% with 71% battery remaining for the next task (3 hrs. & 13 min. SOT with 26% battery consumption).


The real battery test can't be completed without gameplay, so I played Call of Duty Mobile (2:35 - 3:30 pm) at a high graphic setting & 120fps frame rate. The gameplay was very smooth on HONOR 200 Pro, but I observed a 20% battery drop (from 71% to 49%) and the device slightly heated up because of the high graphics & fps. 


After playing games, I opened Instagram and watched some reels for about 20 minutes. During this time, I noticed a 5% battery drain (49% to 44%) just from using Instagram. I then checked other social media apps, but only Instagram seemed to consume more battery power in the background. Even after closing Instagram, it continued to consume battery power in the background.


After taking a break, I watched a 45-minute episode of a series on Amazon Prime, which used 15% of my battery (dropping from 44% to 29%). Then, I watched a new movie on MX Player with a runtime of 2 hours and 16 minutes at 100% volume and the battery went from 29% to 8% during the movie.

Conclusion -

I'm using HONOR 200 Pro from a month, for this battery test I used it for whole day from 9:30am to 11:30pm where on my usage I got more than 8 Hours of battery backup. Around 8-hour Screen-on-Time is really impressive for the device, all thanks to the Silicon-Carbon battery. HONOR 200 Pro is a great feature rich smartphone with great battery life and fast charging. The everyday SOT is different depending on the user usage type and different environment conditions. In my usage I'm getting more than 7 hours of Screen-on-Time on daily average.

I hope you all liked it, share your feedback or thoughts in the comment section. I'll be back with a new thread of the HONOR 200 Pro charging test soon, stay tuned for that.

Great! 

Thanks for the in-depth review thread
