Verdict

The Honor 100 (16GB + 512GB) is a premium mid-range 5G smartphone running MagicOS based on Android 13, featuring the efficient 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor and 16GB of RAM. Its main draw is the vibrant 6.7-inch curved OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2600 nits, along with a versatile OIS-enabled 50MP main rear camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a high-resolution 50MP selfie camera. A key pro is its impressive 100W wired fast charging for the large 5000mAh battery, which can achieve a full charge in approximately 32 minutes. A potential con is the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack and the lack of wireless charging support in this base model, and the storage capacity is not expandable via a microSD card slot.
