Honor 400 series to introduce Photo to Video AI feature
Honor announced another generative AI that will be coming to its upcoming Honor 400 series. The Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro smartphones will offer AI Image to Video feature, leveraging technology from Google Cloud.
It will let you transform static images into AI-generated short videos, bringing life to old memories. We even received a set of classic paintings, reimagined in motion through the eyes of the technology.

Honor 400 series aims to be "the best AI camera phone in its price segment." The feature itself should be available to all users through the Gallery app. At the top, there will be "AI Image to Video" icon that will trigger it.

This is the first time a smartphone manufacturer is offering such a feat without the need of third-party applications. Also, we expect Honor 400 to provide this for free or at least initially. We can also hope it will expand to more devices, such as the flagships Magic7 Pro and Magic V3.
Honor 400 • Honor 400 Pro
Honor 400 series is set to arrive on May 22. There will be an event in London, United Kingdom, where the vanilla and Pro phones will be officially unveiled.

Exclusive: AI+ smartwatch launching this month with in-built TWS, Nova 1 and Pulse 1's prices tipped
Earlier this week, we exclusively shared an image of the AI+ Nova 2 5G smartphone, which will be launched on June 25 in India. Now we learn that AI+, part of the NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, will also launch the smart wearables category, with the first product - or one of the first products - being a smartwatch with in-built TWS. Our tipster shared an image of the AI+ smartwatch's retail box, which suggests the smartwatch will be a part of the "wearbuds" lineup and will be called "wearbuds Watch 3." There's also text below the branding that reads "Smartband-Stored True Wireless Earbuds." The box doesn't display the watch's image, but the outline gives us an idea of the wearable and TWS' design, with the latter having silicone tips for passive noise cancellation. The tipster told us that like the smartphones, the AI+ smartwatch will also be manufactured in India. AI+'s wearbuds Watch 3 We previously reported that AI+'s Nova series will include "three distinct" 5G smartphone models, priced between INR5,000 ($60/€50) and INR8,000 ($95/€80). We know one of them is the Nova 2 5G, whose price is unknown, and our tipster shared the prices of two phones we haven't heard of before - the Nova 1 5G and Pulse 1. The Nova 1 5G will be priced at INR5,000 ($60/€50), while the Pulse 1 will cost INR6,000 ($70/€60). If those prices are correct, these will be some of the most affordable 5G smartphones in the market. This new information doesn't align with what we heard previously, so we are assuming that either the third Nova phone got rebranded to Pulse 1, or that Nova device exists and the Pulse 1 is a different phone. We'll hopefully have more clarity about AI+'s products in the coming weeks.

Deals: iPhone 16 and 15 series is £100 off, Honor 400 series comes with freebies
This week (almost) the entire lineup of current iPhone models is £100 off – the only exception to that is the iPhone 16e, which sticks to its £600 base price (but it may not be the best phone for that money, as we're about to see). Starting with the top-end model, the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is pricey – a situation not helped by expensive storage upgrades. The discount helps, though. For more details on the phone, check out our comparison articles that pit the iPhone 16 Pro Max against the smaller iPhone 16, the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Then there is the smaller iPhone 16 Pro – it has the same hardware, besides the screen size and battery capacity. Here's how it compares against the vanilla iPhone 16 and the Galaxy S25. Speaking of, the Apple iPhone 16 is just about the same size as the 16 Pro. It doesn't have a telephoto camera or a 120Hz ProMotion display and it uses the Apple A18 chipset (rather than the A18 Pro). Still, it offers broadly the same Apple experience. The Apple iPhone 16 Plus is for people who prefer a larger screen, but don't want the premium features – and premium price – of the Pro Max. Here are the key differences between the Plus and the vanilla iPhone 16. The older vanilla models are still around too. The iPhone 15 is down to £600, the same price as the 16e. Both have 6.1' displays, but the older model has the better panel (brighter, Dolby Vision). And it has a 12MP ultra-wide camera, while the 16e only has a 48MP main. The 16e does have the newer chipset (Apple A18 vs. A16) with Apple's first-ever 5G modem. The e-phone has wireless charging, but without the magnets it fits awkwardly with the MagSafe ecosystem of accessories. The Apple iPhone 15 Plus is available as a cheaper option to the 16 Plus for those wanting a larger display. Amazon is offering the two new Honor 400 phones with a rich bundle of freebies in lieu of discounts. The Honor 400 Pro comes with a free pair of Honor Choice Earbuds Clip, a free Honor Watch and a free Portable Speaker Pro. The Honor 400 is paired with a free Honor Pad X8a instead – an 11' tablet with a Snapdragon 680 chipset, quad speakers and an 8,300mAh battery. Honor 400 free Honor Pad X8a Read our review 8/256GB - £400 at Amazon UK After a long wait, the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally available – just the console costs at £680, but you can get the bundle with Mario Kart World for £790. You could buy the game separately too, of course, which currently comes out cheaper as the game is £75. Alternatively, you can pick up the Sony PlayStation 5 (slim) for a lot less – just £385. No, it's not a portable console like the Switch, it's strictly for gaming at home (which is how a lot of people use the Switch anyway). You can grab a PlayStation Portal for £200 more and still be under the price of a Switch 2.

Honor 400 Pro review
The Honor 400 duo is now globally available and it offers plenty of nice perks. And while the jury is still out on which model - the Honor 400 Pro or the Honor 400 - should be the one to enter everyone's shortlists, we are going to explore the more premium Honor 400 Pro first. The Honor 400 Pro comes one year after the Honor 200 Pro, and it brings a more durable design, an improved display, a more powerful chipset, and better main and zoom cameras. The focus this year is on AI, of course, which Honor has taken to the next level with cool features like Image to Video, Outpainting, Cutout background, Open Eyes, and more. The Honor 400 Pro trumps the Honor 400 with faster hardware, a larger display, better durability, Wi-Fi 7 readiness, and a telephoto camera with 3x zoom. Those extra features cost over €250+, though. Honor 400 Pro next to the Honor 400 Indeed, the Honor 400 Pro introduces a durability level like never before - it is IP68 and IP69 rated for dust, water and high-pressure water jets resistance. It has also scored SCS's 5 stars rating for Premium Performance Certification of Drop & Crush Resistance. The phone packs a 6.7-inch OLED display with 1,280p resolution, 10-bit color depth, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR certification. The Honor 400 Pro is powered by one of the best chips on the market - the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. The cameras have always been a strong side of Honor and that is the case with the Honor 400 Pro. The rear camera kit packs a 200MP OIS primary (1x-2x), a 50MP OIS telephoto (3x-6x), and a 12MP ultrawide with autofocus. The front setup accommodates a 50MP selfie imager and a 2MP depth sensor. The Honor 400 Pro comes with a 5,300 mAh Si/C battery capable of up to 100W wired and up to 50W wireless charging. Reverse wireless charging is also an option. Honor 400 Pro comes with Android 15 and MagicOS 9, and you can expect 6 years of Android updates.

It seems like Honor has thought of everything for the Honor 400 Pro, so we have no complaints at the spec sheet level. The price of €799 also seems reasonable for a flagship, especially when Honor is also giving freebies like Honor Choice Earbuds Clip headphones, a 100W charger and premium screen protection with one-time free screen replacement. Unboxing the Honor 400 Pro The phone ships in a thin white paper box. The bundle contains a USB-C cable and nothing else. In previous years, we used to get a charger and case, but not with this generation. The Honor 400 Pro arrives with a factory pre-applied protective folio on the display, which is expected. Page 2
