Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.
104% above the under-$300 median ($7.13/mo, dying phones excluded)
Our verdict
A slim, fast-charging mid-ranger with a great selfie camera but a trimmed-down feature set versus the Pro.
Pros
- 100W wired charging fills the 5000mAh cell in about half an hour
- Bright 120Hz OLED with 2600-nit peak handles sunlight well
- Light 183g body with a strong 50MP front camera
Cons
- Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 is solid but not flagship-class
- Drops the telephoto lens and tops out at three OS upgrades

Frequently asked questions
Is the Honor 100 still getting updates in 2026?
Yes. With about three OS upgrades and four years of security patches from its late-2023 launch, the Honor 100 should keep getting security fixes into late 2027.
What is the difference between the Honor 100 and 100 Pro?
The Pro uses a faster Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, adds a 32MP 2.5x telephoto camera and wireless charging, and has a slightly larger screen. The standard 100 is lighter and cheaper but camera and chip are a step down.
Is the Honor 100 worth buying in 2026?
As a cheap import it is a tidy all-rounder, but with support ending in 2027 it is best for buyers who upgrade often rather than those wanting many years of updates.
