Honor 700 Series Adds 200mm Telephoto Extender as Camera Brands Push Premium Appeal

Summary
Honor plans to launch the 700 and 700 Pro in China next month with support for an optional 200mm telephoto extender, extending a feature previously reserved for its higher-end phones.
The move targets a crowded smartphone market where Chinese brands are using camera-focused accessories and partnerships to stand out and attract higher-spending, brand-conscious buyers.
Honor follows rivals including Oppo, whose Find X10 Pro Max offers a 10x teleconverter kit, and Vivo, which has launched 400mm telephoto options on recent flagship models.
The broader bet is that add-on lenses can deepen photography credentials, though their bulk, setup friction and niche appeal may limit demand outside dedicated enthusiasts.
