The Honor 200 Pro (2024) supports RAW capture in DNG format and has no mechanical shutter — the image counter stored in each DNG file records total electronic captures. This triple 50 MP Hasselblad-tuned flagship supports RAW via Pro mode in the Camera app.
Check Image Counter →The Honor 200 Pro (released June 2024) is Honor’s photography-focused mid-flagship, powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (4 nm) and featuring a unique triple 50 MP camera system with Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) calibration. All three cameras use 50 MP sensors: the main camera (f/1.9, 1/1.57″ sensor, OIS), a 2.5× portrait telephoto (f/2.0, OIS) optimised for subject separation, and an ultra-wide camera with macro capability (f/2.0). Honor has built on the Hasselblad partnership to deliver consistent colour rendition across all three lenses in a way that distinguishes the 200 Pro from rivals using mixed sensor sizes.
Like all smartphones, the Honor 200 Pro uses CMOS electronic readout only. There is no mechanical focal-plane shutter. The image counter embedded in RAW DNG files provides a measure of total shooting intensity.
| Model | Release | Main Camera | Shutter Type | RAW Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honor 200 Pro | 2024 | 50 MP f/1.9 (OIS, 1/1.57″) | Electronic only | DNG (Pro mode) |
| Honor Magic7 Pro | 2024 | 50 MP f/1.4–f/2.0 variable aperture | Electronic only | DNG (Pro mode) |
| Honor Magic6 Pro | 2024 | 50 MP f/1.4–f/2.0 | Electronic only | DNG (Pro mode) |
| Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra | 2025 | 200 MP f/1.7 (OIS) | Electronic only | Expert RAW (DNG) |
.dng extension.exiftool -ImageNumber yourfile.dng from the command line.| What to Check | How |
|---|---|
| Battery health | Settings → Battery → Battery remaining capacity. Honor provides a percentage; below 80% warrants replacement |
| 6.78″ OLED display | Inspect for burn-in, dead pixels, or delamination; test 120 Hz ProMotion smoothness |
| Triple camera system | Test all three cameras including 2.5× telephoto AF and ultra-wide macro; check for lens scratches or internal fogging |
| OIS performance | Shoot a slow video handheld; excessive shake indicates OIS damage on main or telephoto |
| Frame & body | Inspect aluminium frame for dents; check USB-C port for wear and SIM tray sealing |
| Image counter | High count (>40,000) indicates intensive camera use — useful context, not a failure signal |
No. All Honor smartphones use CMOS electronic readout only. There is no focal-plane shutter mechanism in the 200 Pro.
HNCS is Hasselblad’s colour calibration methodology applied to the 200 Pro’s three cameras to ensure consistent, natural colour reproduction across all lenses and lighting conditions. It affects JPEG processing and RAW colour profiles, but does not change the DNG counter mechanism.
No. The image counter is stored in persistent hardware memory and cannot be reset by a factory reset or firmware update.
The standard Honor 200 uses a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip and a different camera configuration. The Honor 200 Pro uses the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and the full triple-50MP system with Hasselblad HNCS. Both support RAW DNG capture via Pro mode.
