Honor 400 Lite teased for Malaysia: AI button, 108MP camera and a dash of Pura
KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 — Honor has teased that it will be bringing in the Honor 400 Lite to Malaysia soon, although no specific dates have been announced just yet. Already launched in some global markets, the Honor 400 Lite is the first device of the Honor 400 series, with more devices to come. Other models from the series expected to launch soon include the vanilla Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro.
Honor 400 Lite: 'Mini' Huawei Pura 70?
It's no secret that the Honor 400 Lite looks quite a bit like the Huawei Pura 70. But what Honor would rather have you focus on is how thin and light it is, as the device weighs 171g, with a thickness of 7.29mm. Three colour options are available, at least globally, namely Marrs Green, Velvet Grey, and Velvet Black.
At the front, the Honor 400 Lite features a 6.7' Full HD+ (2412×1080) AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a peak brightness of 3,500 nits. Powering the phone is MediaTek's Dimensity 7025-Ultra chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Camera-wise, you get a 108MP f/1.75 main camera that's said to offer 3x lossless zoom, and a 5MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera. There's also a 16MP front camera that comes with a selfie light.
New dedicated camera shutter button for pictures and AI
Speaking of the camera, the Honor 400 Lite is also equipped with a camera shutter button which looks similar to that of the iPhone 16 series. Marketted officially as the 'AI Camera Button', it's positioned on the right side of the phone, and can be used for launching the camera, taking pictures and videos, as well as controlling the phone's zoom interface.
Being called the AI Camera Button, you can also press and hold it to quickly access Honor's visual intelligence features.
Keeping lights on is a 5,230mAh battery that can be charged at 35W via USB-C. The Honor 400 Lite is also rated at IP65 for dust and water resistance, and is certified with SGS five-star reliability for anti-drop protection. — Soya Cincau

Generative Video Pioneer Vidu Powers Honor 400 Series & Reimagines Journey to the West to Forge Blueprint for Next-Gen Original AI Studio
TOKYO, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vidu, the flagship product of ShengShu Technology and a leader in generative video, has launched two strategic initiatives that redefine creative production. A partnership with Honor to embed its advanced image-to-video AI technology into the Honor 400 Series smartphones, and a landmark IP deal with the epic 1999 Journey to the West anime. Together, these moves ignite the "smartphone-studio era", transforming consumer-grade devices into AI-powered creative hubs, while positioning generative platforms as engines for cultural IP origination. This accelerates Vidu's development of a proprietary IP catalog, reshaping ownership models and creative possibilities in the generative video landscape. Honor: Cinema-Grade Production in Every Hand The Honor 400 Series (launched May 28, 2025) integrates Vidu's multimodal Image-to-Video AI feature, enabling professional-grade video generation directly on consumer devices. Users instantly transform static images into cinematic videos, erasing traditional barriers between studio production and daily creativity as technology evolves from a "tool" to a seamlessly integrated "intelligent life companion." This leap, powered by Vidu's breakthrough in real-time, mobile-optimized processing, overcomes historical computational limits and shatters the bottleneck of high-load computing on smartphones. "In an AI landscape dominated by giants, our partnership with Honor validates a core belief: true innovation thrives," said Luo Yihang, CEO at ShengShu Technology. "Vidu's mobile-optimized architecture overcoming historical bottlenecks to deliver cinematic video generation on consumer devices, transforms smartphones from passive tools into proactive creative partners. This collaboration isn't just about technological integration, it's about democratizing studio-grade storytelling and redefining how humanity interacts with intelligent systems." Reimagining Iconic Cultural Intellectual Property for Modern Audiences Vidu is pioneering the long-term value of IP through co-creation, securing rights and embracing a cultural legacy. This marks a generative AI evolution, setting a blueprint for next-gen original content studios. Announced today at Vidu's Tokyo Global Talents Meetup, its Journey to the West partnership empowers the community to reimagine the legendary Monkey King -- a character whose influence spans from opera to Dragon Ball Z and 2024's Black Myth: Wukong, transforming the classic into a dynamic canvas for a timeless IP. As the feature rolls out on Vidu over the next several months, users will be able to upload a single photo of themselves and enjoy creatively reinterpreting the Monkey King through a modern lens. Vidu analyzes the photo and applies the distinct aesthetic of the 1999 'Journey to the West' anime art style to the user's likeness with high fidelity. The user can then select from a curated list of engaging, pre-defined plotline templates or scenarios that will result in a 16 second personalized video segment. For instance, in one template, Sun Wukong (The Monkey King) is conjuring many little monkeys to help with his chores. But he can be made to humorously interact with your digital likeness at the same time, and affix believable generated voiceovers and background music to the clip. "We're incredibly excited not only about this partnership, but about what it represents for the future of IP," said Luo Yihang, CEO at ShengShu Technology. "For the first time, generative AI isn't just powering creativity behind the scenes, but it's becoming a vehicle for ownership, worldbuilding, and reimagining beloved stories. Only now, with Vidu, we're proving that generative video platforms can do more than generate content. Vidu is building for creative co-ownership through strategic partnerships or even future acquisitions, which can help shape the next generation of cultural IPs." Vidu's Bold Moves to Ink Deals and Roll Out New Models These announcements follows the recent launch of Vidu's Q1 model, which introduced features that rival cinematic-grade visual effects. These include its First-to-Last Frame technology for seamless transitions between realistic and animated sequences, and industry-first AI sound effects that deliver high fidelity 48 kHz audio. In parallel, Vidu formed a strategic partnership with Lenovo to deploy its models across Lenovo hardware, advancing its push into consumer and professional ecosystems. And the company also secured a content deal to produce an AI animated series in partnership with Luo Yan and D.T. Carpenter's Aura Prods. Global Momentum Builds at Tokyo Meetup Vidu's Global Talents Meetup at J. F. Oberlin University showcased real impact. A Tokyo student noted, "Vidu allows me to create animation studio-quality clips alone. I'm even considering it for my graduation project." Independent animator Rou Shu Te Xiao and his Observer Paradox animation, made with Vidu, hit more than 3 million views by blending authentic Japanese aesthetics with cinematic detail.
