Honor promises 4 years of updates for this phone, so it's supported until November 2027 — buying it today still gets you about 1.4 years of safe use (verified June 2026).

Our verdict

A flagship-chip portrait specialist let down by a short update runway and no official Western warranty.

Pros

  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 keeps it fast years after launch
  • 100W wired plus 66W wireless charging tops up in minutes
  • Dual high-res selfie and 2.5x telephoto setup excels at portraits

Cons

  • Only about three OS upgrades, so software ages before the hardware does
  • No IP water-resistance rating and sold mostly via import
Best for: Portrait shootersBest for: Fast-charging fansAvoid if: Long-support seekersAvoid if: US-warranty buyers

Frequently asked questions

Is the Honor 100 Pro still getting updates in 2026?

Yes, but it is near the end. Released in late 2023 with roughly three OS upgrades and four years of security patches, it should keep receiving security fixes into late 2027, though major feature updates have likely stopped.

How long will the Honor 100 Pro last?

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 5000mAh battery are good for four to five years of daily use. Software support is the limiting factor, with security patches expected to run out around November 2027.

Is the Honor 100 Pro worth buying in 2026?

Only as a discounted import for camera lovers. With its security window closing in 2027 and no Western warranty, newer numbered Honors or the 200 series are safer long-term picks.
