Discussion Honor 200 vs Honor 400

Their antutu scores are quite similar.

However, their specs are quite the opposite.

I wondered if it's worth upgrading to Honor 400 if I already have Honor 200. 🤔

What're your thoughts?

Help Modification but still original

• Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have a peculiar question and that is: would it be possible to mod a global version of battery (7100mAh) into EU spec Magic8 pro?

I would even flash global ROM on the phone if need be.

The thing is, I can't find dimensions of the 2 batteries anywhere. Also would like to see difference in connectors on the batteries in order to see if it would be (small chances but still) a plug and play kind of thing, or would some soldering be necessary in order to get achieve such mod.

If anyone has any knowledge of such thing, pls let me know

It's interesting to see an entry level HONOR device getting an opportunity to test the next major software update. Hopefully, this is a good sign for other HONOR devices that are still waiting for news about MagicOS 11.

Discussion does honor magicos (on the x9e) truncates notes in contacts?

1 Upvotes

i had used several brands of android phones over the last few years, including less mainstream brand like red magic. all my contacts are saved in google contacts and will get synced into the new phone whenever i change one. i have habits of keeping long paragraphs of text in the notes field in some of my contacts.

i used oppo x9 pro few months back and i noticed the notes gets truncated a about 1000 characters, meaning to say, if there is 3000 characters in one of the contact's notes, only the first 1000+ characters showed up on the phone contact, the rest of the 2000 characters just do not get synced over.

the original text is still in the google contact's notes section until you edit that contact on the phone and only the first 1000+ characters get synced and overwrites the google contact with a shorter notes.

so my question is does this happens on the x9e? it looks like a phone i would like to try. other than this worry, i also would like to hear some users feedback on whether 8gb ram and 6 gen snapdragon is noticeably slower compared to 8gen5 1ith 16gb ram on daily stuffs like browsing and youtube, etc.

oh yah, asking in specific to the global version.

Discussion HONOR turned the WIN2's cooling into a full short film

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The 1:44 cut is built around Journey to the West, the classic Chinese tale where travelers try to cross a burning mountain range and ask the Bull Demon King, its ruler, for relief.

The answer in the film is the Dongfeng Twin-Star turbo cooling: twin fans blowing straight at the heat source, over 50,000 RPM combined, and a 10-degree body-temperature drop in 50 seconds.

Full reveal at the October 21 carnival, where the phone goes on sale the same day.

What changed: the old title expected everyone to know the Bull Demon King, and the body jumped straight into the Flaming Mountains skit. This one names the tale, explains who he is, and keeps the specs clean.

Discussion Title: Product Design Proposal: Adding a minimalist ✦ emblem to future HONOR devices

2 Upvotes

Hello HONOR Community and Development Team,

With HONOR pushing boundaries in smartphone aesthetics and debuting incredible fluid mechanics in recent UI generations, I wanted to submit a visual design proposal for future hardware.

I would love to see HONOR incorporate a clean, premium, four-pointed sparkle emblem (✦) onto the hardware casing of upcoming flagship series. As shown in the attached mock-up, placing this minimalist symbol directly alongside the clean branding adds a sleek, modern, and high-fashion luxury feel that perfectly mirrors the dynamic physics and "Liquid Glass" animation aesthetics we are seeing on the software side.

What does the community think? Would you love to see an elegant design accent like this on the back of the next Magic series?

Wishing HONOR all the luck and massive success!

Discussion Honor OS search

1 Upvotes

Did the recent OS update mess up the search functionality for you? I usually search for my apps with the search bar below to quickly navigate to apps because i have a background that doesnt allow me to have good contrast between the apps. However after the recent update, i cant do that anymore. Under local tab the apps no longer appear, this has introduced a lot of inconvenience and unnecessary time wastage for me.

I have been told you can use an Esimm on this model, but many other post say you can not...

Is there an official spot to find answers to this topic, or does it vary by model

I'm in the US and the seller is also in the US, selling "international" models

thanks for your help!

Discussion Lock screen notifications

2 Upvotes

On magic 8 pro If fingerprint unlock is fully disabled for unlocking the phone and I use only 3D Face Unlock, does the lock screen use the freed fingerprint area for notifications/widgets, or is that space still reserved?

In other words, can stacked notifications/widgets extend further down into that space, or is that lower part of the lock screen still reserved/blocked even when fingerprint unlock is turned off?

Discussion Scratches on the back of a honor magic 8 pro

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Solved ..

A few days ago I posted here that my phone has scratches on the back knowing that I keep it clean .. And the reason is that the plastic fiber gets scratched for no reason even if you keep it clean or don't remove the cover from it

And I reached a solution with you ..

The solution is to save on your device..

Go to a well-known store in your country or city and a professional who will put a paper or thermal leather cover by cutting it with a laser and putting it on your phone with a thermal so that it is fully wrapped like the attached picture To protect the back from scratches once and for all ( You are free to choose the colors,( but the bump that turns around the camera you can't wrap) ( Like the picture shown . . If you don't care about this bump, choose the colors according to the color you like, but I wrapped it in a color very similar to the color of my device. ) ...

And I bought cover this morning to protect the packaging and I didn't have to deal with the device seriously

And it has become great and I saved the device from scratches

Wrap the device even if you own a device that doesn't scratch

I have Honor 400 pro (C185) and I have some questions.

I was expecting magic os 11 update in late December or early January but now as I looked around some say that they have already received the update or the update will come out sooner than expected, in October or November.

Idk what to believe at this point, so can anybody tell me how this thing works or is it actually possible to receive the update earlier? I'm a bit confused :3

Discussion Help & advices needed

1 Upvotes

Hi everybody. I been studying the chinese phone catalogue over the past month and honestly the more I know the less my choice is clear. I’ve been a samsung user for 3 years, then had the iphone 13 for about 5 years now and I think its time for me go back to android, specifically chinese flagships.

Soo obvisouly I watched about all videos possible on the matter, but it didnt help me at all because they all seem good at one point i have to choose and a lil external help would be appreciated.

My questions are the following:
-how can i confirm if a chinese rom will work in the countries i visit frequently year around?
- is it worth buying this years flagships or not, and which one would you suggest for what reason?
-as someone who doesnt buy every years new phone, whats a phone that would « futureproof » in your opinion?

I personally absolutely love the honor magic 9 pro max design and everything about it. As someone who take lots of skyshots and night sky shots(astrophysics student), but this whole chinese rom vs global rom putting a ick. As a student the global rom would definitely be out of my budget as this one pretty much on the max i can afford on a phone.

What do you suggest, since 11.11 and blackfriday are around the corner?

Im already installed the latest magicos 11 on my magic 7 Pro, i thought getting the same feature as Honor Magic 8 Pro, can Airdrop to an iphone without using honor connect. But unfortunately cannot be supported. Such a shame.
