Honor 200 Series Update

Honor 200 series smartphones run on Android 14-based Magic OS 8.0. According to the changelog, the update brings the smartphone's software version to N39I 8.0.0.135. It is the first over-the-air (OTA) for users in India. One of the key additions is a new call recording feature. It also adds a depth effect adjustment function to Gallery which enables users to tweak the effect for photos captured in portrait mode, changing the overall visual experience of the image.

Furthermore, a new feature called Ultra Group Photo is introduced in the portrait mode when using the rear camera. According to the Chinese smartphone maker, it can correct closed eyes in group photos and make them more appealing. The update is also said to improve the shooting effect in specific cases.

Honor says its latest software update also bundles the August Security Patch which includes Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) from the August 2024 Android Security Bulletin.

It also includes other enhancements such as performance optimisation, better system compatibility with third-party apps, and overall system-wide improvements. To download the update, Honor 200 series users can navigate to Settings, System & updates and locate Software update. Tap on the Check for Updates option and download the latest update.

Gadgets 360 staff members were able to verify the update's availability on Honor 200 series devices. Updates are usually rolled out in a phased manner, meaning it may take a couple of days for it to reach all users.
